| While driving vehicle started leaking gas. this could have resulted in a fire if it went unnoticed. dealership indicated that this was caused by gas line breaking. *ak incident was preceded by gas odor. it leaked from under the vehicle and made a large puddle when stopped. vehicle was never in a accident and was routinely maintained by the dealer. the dealer replaced the gas line as a goodwill gesture. *ph | |||
