FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LEAK IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT UNDER SEAT. THE PLASTIC CAP COVERING THE FUEL TANK AND PUMP ACCESS HAS A LEAK NEAR BLACK WIRE HARNESS CONNECTOR. SEVERAL OTHERS IN ONLINE FORUMS HAVE DESCRIBED SAME PROBLEM. FUEL POOLS BENEATH RIGHT REAR PASSENGER SEAT. PLASTIC CAP HAS A CRACK ON UNDERSIDE WHICH WHEN PRESSURIZED PUSHES FUEL OUT THE TOP OF THE CAP. DEALERSHIP QUOTED $767.81 FOR NEW FUEL PUMP. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY CONCERN AS FUEL SMELL IS IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. THE DEFECT IS ONLY ON THE PLASTIC CAP COVERING THE FUEL TANK ACCESS AND IS SOLD AS PART OF THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM. THE FUEL POOLS INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT

POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND AT FIRST, AND THEN WHEN IT DOES FINALLY ACCELERATE IT SWITCHES GEARS SO HARD THE WHOLE CAR LUNGES FORWARD, I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. EACH TIME THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO DO SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THIS NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO DO THIS. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE CAR WAS AT 55,000 MILES, MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT 65,000 MILES. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF YOU PRESS THE PEDAL TO TURN, THERE IS SUCH A DELAY THAT IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO TURN ANYMORE BUT THE CAR THEN ACCELERATES.
