On August 25, 2005 the gas tank was leaking gasoline. The gas tank has been replaced and the consumer had to pay out of pocket although there was a warranty on the vehicle. One could smell gasoline coming from the vehicle and it was pouring out. However, the gas gauge did not move. Had to have the vehicle towed, and the fire department and police department came out. There was so much gasoline that they came out and put some type of dirt over the gasoline.
