Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We can smell gasoline in the passenger area of the car. It happens whether the windows are up or down, whether the air conditioning is on or off, whether the convertible top is up or down. Usually happens in hot weather, but then again we have only owned and driven the car during the summer. The manufacturer feels that the problem is a combination of high altitude in the denver area, high ambient temperatures, and the fuel formulation in the denver area. They say it only happens in their 4.0 liter supercharged engines. The problem is intermittent. …”
