MILES, BRAKES AND ROTORS LAST YEAR FOUR NEW TIRES, AND THAT DEALER SAID I WAS GOING TO NEED FRONT END WORK, I HAVE BEEN TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS AND DON'T FEEL I CAN TRUST ANY OF THEM . THEY SEEM TO FIND THINGS TO DO EVEN IF NOT NEEDED . I DON'T THINK MY TRANSMISSION WAS LEAKING WHEN THEY SAID IT WAS EITHER I WOULD HAVE SEEN IT ON THE GROUND AS IT SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY BUT I DO THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LEAKING WHEN I LEFT THERE,AS THERE NOT GOING TO CHANCE ME BRINGING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE . THIS CAR IS A LEMON AND I SHOULD GET A FULL REFUND. WITH ALL RECALLS NEEDED NEW TIRES AND ROTORS BRAKES ETC, LAST YEAR AND THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT FRONT END WORK WILL BE NEEDED .

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE OCURS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO 3/4 TH. OR MORE. THE GASTANK HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE, THE FUEL LEVEL SEAL ON TOP THE TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED. AND THE TANK HAS BEEN PRESSURIZED TO TRY TO FIND THE CAUSE, BUT TO NO AVAIL.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, AND THE DEALER REMEDIES HAVE NOT ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM. LESS FUEL IN THE TANK ELIMINATES THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. WHEN PARKED, THE ODOR IS WORSE. THE GARAGE IS DANGEROUSLY FILLED WITH GASOLINE FUMES.
