My car was leaking gas and has fuel vapor smells inside the cabin. Strong smell of gas and when I started my car gas would leak alot. The recall number was (11v029000) and I was told I wasn't eligible for this. I had to bring my car to a local shop to get this checked out and they charged me $300 labor and $300 for the part. I am really frustrated about this situation. Please help.
Vehicle just turned over 100,000 miles. 6-2020 upon a morning start, the vehicle had trouble starting up almost as if it had fuel starvation. I cranked the vehicle up a few more times it was ok it turned on. Upon driving the vehicle had extremely unreliable acceleration , very had sputtering from and to stop lights this was from my commute to work. The vehicle had become unpredictable, some days it would act like that some days it wouldn't. This started to bother me as I rarely worry about situations unless they're dangerous. Late 6-2020 on my way home from work at about 5:00pm the vehichle started sputtering about 1 mile away from my home. As I crossed the intersection of taylor and railroad street. The vehicle died on me at the intersection. I had thought this was just the car with the acceleration problem. So I proceeded to turned it back on. After 10 minutes of cranking the vehicle I had drained the battery completely. Car Is stranded, traffic was a huge build up behind me, vehicle ways well over 3000lbs so I attempted to quick charge the battery, after 10 minutes I had already bystanders help me push the vehicle to the side, due to the massive build up of traffic. 7-2020 after 2 seperate diagnostics I had replaced the fuel injector pump and a cold start valve at the engine. Car was running ok until mid 7-2020 when it began having the same exact Issues again. As this was my only vehicle at the moment I had no other choice but to use it one week later after going to my mothers house from work. The vehicle decided to shut off on me completely this time on the road at 35 mph zone. Car seemed to starve of fuel and I had to quickly react since the car was in motion and luckily pullover. Fortunately it was a light day of traffic at the road of cook st. Thats when I had enough, I am complaining because this vehicle Is extremely unsafe and its an Issue I can't solve!.
Fuel fumes noticed coming from under hood after vehicle Is turned off. Mechanic confirms fuel leak from fuel rail near pressure sensor. Mechanic warned of fire concern with active fuel leak. Recall elf performed on vehicle in 2015 that should have prevented leak but now fuel leak Is present.
