Example complaints

“The engine started to shake and would act like it wouldn't turn over , then it broke down on us on a road trip , got it towed and fixed but the same problem happen again couple months after of getting it fixed , and now it's leaking or smelling like gasoline leaking into the cabin of the car through the air vents and when you lift the hood. Each time we noticed the problem we were driving the vehicle but immediately stopped once we notice the smell of gas.”
