Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“During hot summer months, vehicle emits very strong gas fumes after driving. It only happens if there is 1/2 tank or more of fuel. This has happened at least a dozen times, and also occurred on the three-year older model that I had of the same vehicle. Supposedly, the fuel system was re-designed for the '08 model, but the symptoms are exactly the same. According to the service rep., she has three other customers with the same complaint. The fumes can get so bad that I am afraid to park it in my garage for fear of the water heater igniting the fumes. …”
