1 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2013

When I fill my vehicle up with gas, the fumes fill up my car and my garage. After I drive my car and the gas goes down to 3/4 a tank, the fumes reside. I can only fill my car up 3/4 of a way without the fumes entering my car. I took my car to the dealership and they removed the back seat and saw that the gas was filling up under the seat. They found a leak at the fuel gauge sending unit. The sending unit needs to be replaced.

2 Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 01/15/2013

Strong smell of gas after filling up tank while parked in garage. Seems to be coming from rear driver side of vehicle. Please reference NHTSA action# pe12001.
