What owners wrote
When returning from a trip, about 1 mile from home I experienced a very strong smell of gasoline in the passenger compartment. When I got home and opened the hood, gasoline was spraying from the engine onto the hot exhaust manifold and instantly vaporizing into a cloud. I think we were very lucky this did not result in a fire that could have seriously injured me and my family. I took the car to a nearby garage, and the mechanic confirmed the issue and told me the car could not be driven.
My car started to have smell of exhaust. It started three days ago while I was driving. The day after a light of wiper defective showed up. Then the fuel door couldn't open from the inside, I had to use the emergency fuel release to open the door. The smell is all the time (parked or in motion).
