Other Fuel System Problems of Cadillac XLR

When car is stationary in our garage, the gasoline vapors are way too strong! literally can knock you over as you open the door between the house and closed-up garage. Doesn't seem to matter if it's recently been filled with gasoline or if it's depleted some. *took our car to the local Cadillac dealer for the worst raw gas smell ever within our garage, where we park this 'new black beauty'. They've done all sorts of tests, but have found no leaks, etc. :-( this seems like a really dangerous situation when our attached garage fills up with gasoline vapors!!! (have only owned this car for approximately 5 weeks!) **however, they did find a frayed and broken shift cable! none available, as all are back-ordered! trying to locate one somewhere in the country! anyway, after reviewing all of the many complaints and problems listed on various websites and the other Xlr forums, and determining that we are definitely not alone in this really expensive shift cable fix, we believe there's a definite manufacturing problem/defect with this faulty part!! how do we all get gm to pay for these expensive faulty parts?? some folks have had to replace their shift cables more than once, so that should tell gm that they designed a faulty piece. . . We are informing the government watchdog! thanks and we'll await any response about the gasoline smell, and the faulty shift cables. ($500+ alone).
