Strong fuel smell in the cabin when I start the car in the morning. I'm seeing this as a common issue in threads online. Car out of warranty so need help making this a recall item given the danger of fuel leaks. Solutions posted are below: 1) quote from my invoice: confirmed fuel leak was coming from line to high pressure pump. Removed lower panel of transmission to gain access to lines. Removed high pressure fuel pump covers, removed and installed fuel lines, and installed in reverse order to correct. Ran engine to verify no large fuel leaks. Found good at this time. 2) have your dealer replace the two flexible fuel lines from the fuel feed line to the high pressure fuel pump. There is no official bulletin on this but this is the fix.
When starting the car, in the first 20 minuets the car has a very strong fuel odor in the cabin causing difficulty breathing and eye irritation, I need to leave the car running for 20 minutes with the windows open before I can get in and drive, I went to the dealer and was dismissed as if everything is good, I don't know what to do next.
