Tank Assembly problems of the 2001 Mazda Tribute

Consumer smelled gas fumes around the outside of the vehicle. Consumer noticed a fuel leakage. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

Engine check light came on, and consumer smelled fuel inside vehicle. Dealer informed her that fuel tank was leaking. But that fuel tanks were on back order. Could not give her a time frame, but assured her vehicle was safe to drive.

A severe gasoline odor. Happens various times. While driving, odor comes through the vents, or after turning off car, extreme gas odor. Happens a various times, at various speeds, at various levels of gas in my gas tank. We have taken it to the Mazda dealership more times than I can remember. They have supposedly contacted Mazda corporate and can never find a problem. The car completely shut down one time. I was able to pull over and re-start the car. The dealership could find no reason for this either but said they had a similar incident with another Mazda Tribute owner. I am obviously concerned about our health and safety with this vehicle. Thank you for any help you can give me. Andrea ledenbach.
