Description of the problem	The car was experiencing "hiccups" while accelerating and would eventually smell and see gas escaping out from underneath the passenger side rear tire. Was taken to the dealer ship 3 times before for this and now i am told it is a faulty gas tank that was produced. I have been currently waiting about a month to have the tank repaired. All i have been told on this subject is "we will contact you at the end of the business day tomorrow". Its always tomorrow. The dealer has offered me a couple of things to keep my mine as easy while i wait but i honestly think that waiting a month for a brand new car to get fixed is ridiculous.
