I began smelling fuel, especially parked on an incline. I filled up my gas tank, and witnessed loosing over 1/2 a tank of gas! I am terrified to put more than 5 gallons of gas now. Anytime I put any amount of gasoline in, the fumes are very strong inside as well as outside of my vehicle. The engine light is on and I cannot even get this car inspected since I live in north texas (denton). I took it to the dealer who said there are no recalls! the estimate to repair was 1100. 00 which is more than 25% of it's value. They said it does not have a recall. I bought the car and live in texas. So far I have had the steering assembly replaced (recall) as well as the windshield (not a recall but covered under warranty. I am so terrified of dying in this car and no one wants to fix it for under 1100. 00!.
