“My wife drives a 2008 Acura RL. We live in las vegas, nevada. My wife noticed gas fumes inside the passenger cabin last summer (2009) and again this summer (2010) on hot days to the point she would become ill. I could smell strong gas fumes after she park the RL in the garage last summer (2009) and this summer (2010) on hot days. Nothing was done last year (2009) because we were told there was no repair to the problem. This summer (2010) she drove the RL to our local Acura service department and the staff at the service department also noticed the smell of gas fumes inside the car. …”
