Example complaints

“Fuel pump cracked at top of fuel pump. Car has low milage 11,300 and for the safety of others we feel it should be a recall on the pump. The pumps sit under the back seat of car. Dangerous to think of people sitting on top of them. We even had to get rid of the awful gas smell. Our car had sit in the garage and we are so thankful the gas furnace or something else did not ignite the gas standing on top of pump”
NHTSA complaint #11033005, filed 2017-10, 11,300 miles“After filling tank with fuel, car smells from fuel. Fuel vapor comes out AC vents, fills cabin. Very bad after sitting parked. Odor fades and stops when fuel level reaches about 7/8 of a tank. Took it to mechanic and mechanic says he found fuel on top of starboard fuel pump. Fuel pump mounting bracket has hairline cracks in it. Needs complete replacement. This same problem and one related to the fuel pump seal are recorded in forums all over the internet. Why is there no recall? This is a very serious problem. Vehicle is currently awaiting repair parts. …”
NHTSA complaint #11045286, filed 2017-11, 120,000 miles“After filling the car with gasoline, I get a strong odor of gasoline in the cabin of the car. After the fuel level gets to about 7/8 full the issue goes away. After further inspection the odor seems to be strongest in the passenger side aft wheel well. Excessive fuel vapors are harmful to people and could cause explosion or fire.”
