Gas smell in car, near rear of car, and in garage. Have checked for leaks have not found gas on floor but some dampness top of tank area of which I could reach. I have read there's a connection that breaks at fitting. I feel this is definitely a safety issue that should be addressed by g. M. With a recall before a fire or death .

After smelling gas fumes for about a week, I pulled into the driveway with the gas tank close to full. After about 5 minutes I looked under the car and saw a 4 to 5 inch diameter wet gas stain on the driveway. Over the next 3 to 4 minutes I observed several drips of gasoline from below the gas tank fall to the driveway. This is a very serious safety and emission problem. This car was purchased new and I plan on bringing it to the dealership where it was purchased ASAP. I have seen other complaints of this problem on line and hope there will be a recall. Sometimes emission components are covered up to 100k miles.
