| Description of the problem | I can smell a strong odor of fuel almost every morning after being parked coming from the driver side hood region. More noticeable on cooler mornings. Very unpleasant to be working nearby while preparing for work. Smell is also noted in cabin prior to starting the engine. I have brought vehicle to the dealership about 5 times for this problem leaving it for a few days at time but they have not been able to detect or solve this constant and hazardous health and safety issue. I otherwise love the vehicle but this is something that should be identified and solved. This has been a problem for over 1 year . |
