I've been smelling gas an fumes field about 3 months and noticed thatlayely ive been losing gas and mileage at first I thought it just be over flow but it's gotten worse. Im now having trouble getting my car into tht right gear I can only think that my gas and transmission is faultering somehow though I haven't taken it in due to money issues at this time. My steering column and handling seems out of alignment column feels shaken and faulty and difficult to handle at times at others times.

2 Steering Column problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2016

Takata recall has still not came up with a solution to fix the airbags which I feel is a hazard while driving. This is my only means of transportato and I don't feel my family and I are safe in this vehicle. After traveling to a doctors appointment, when put the key in the posution to crank vehicle the steering wheel would no longer let fown. Steering wheel is now stuck in the up position. Can't lower the steering column. Which makes it now difficult the stir. Electric control lever will not work. Brake lights, signal lights lamps continually burns out bulbs while in motion , stationary actually at anyime.
