| FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | |||

| 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. the fumes are noticeable in the family room of my house, as well as the bedrooms above. if the vehicle is out side, you can smell gas from twenty feet away. when in stop and go traffic, the fumes will enter into the passenger compartment. the dealer inspected the vehicle and could not find anything wrong. later in the day, after picking up the vehicle, the gassing happened again. the vehicle was returned to the dealer on 8/17/09 again to have the problem corrected. they told me that the only way they could fix was if they could re-create the problem. they have had the vehicle for four days, during temperatures of 105 degrees or more, and still say that it is not emitting gas fumes. supposedly, the entire fuel system has been inspected, with no defects noticed. they also informed me that some off-gassing is to be expected, so even if it does act up, there is most likely nothing they can do about it. *tr | |||
