| Description of the problem | I pulled into my garage and noticed a strong smell of gas as soon as i got out of the car. After being in the house approximately 2 hours, the smell of gas filled the house. I pulled the vehicle out of the garage and it created a trail of gas inside the garage. Mbusa refused to cover the repair and also refused to disclose information related to this issue when i requested more information from the customer referral representative. I'm pretty sure it's not safe to just have fuel being trailed up and down highways and everyone is unaware. Hopefully they can be fined for endangering people. |
