 The gas line in the rear left side passenger compartment corroded through the pipe and leaked 2 1/2 gallons of gasoling into the wheel well where it remaind, sloshing around unknown to us. we could smell the gas but could not find where it was coming from inside the car. different mechanics looked for a leak but it was not found until the interior panel was removed the wheel well. one spark and we could haven blow up. there could be other families driving around and smoking in the car a very serious situation i think.
