What owners wrote

Takata recall with no fix, also a problem with the fuel pump which the car can light on fire there is also no current repair. The dealer said we are screwed there's nothing they can do.my wife got into an accident with the loaner car if it was our car that is plagued by the recall things could have been worst

Reported at 1,800 miles, November 2016 Crash

Horrified mother of 2 small children. Recently noticed when driving the vehicle, a gas/fuel smell consumes the entire car. The smell was so bad it made me sick as well as set off the carbon dioxide alarm in my garage. My toddler son sits on the side where the tank is and of course that is where the smell is the strongest. I feared that a explosion would happen in my house due to smell being so strong...we finally took the SUV in and repair company stated that I had a fuel leak.
