What owners wrote
Gasoline fumes are filling up the inside of the vehicle at any given time without any warning. Vehicle has been repaired 4 times for the same gas leak. Dealer has been notified.
I am one of tons of people with the notorious exhaust manifold studs breaking issue! Which causes the check engine like to come on, and dangerous fumes to enter the vehicle. With 4 children, this is not a good thing...and the price is more then a family of 4 children can afford at $1500-3000 depending on the damage and now I cannot have my vehicle safely inspected due to this issue. Please have them issue a recall on this and protect our families.
