	Dt*: the contact stated while driving 40 mph on normal road conditions a gasoline smell was noticed. upon the arrival to the contact home, gas was observed to be leaking out of the hose from the gas tank. when the manufacturer was contacted recall # 04v028000 was identified and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to the nearest dealership which was located 60 miles away. the vehicle was inoperable therefore the contact expressed it was unfair to be required to pay for towing services to the dealership.
