Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas

High pressure fuel pump failure at 76,000 miles. Also replaced sensor for front assist error less than 1 year ago and it's now giving warning light again. Vw saying I have to pay $450 to recalibrate.

There is a strong gas smell inside and outside my vehicle while driving and stationary. Vw replaced the upper and lower fuel rails and the high pressure fuel pump on the first service visit. I could still smell the gas outside the vehicle, not inside, when I left the service bay. I returned it and they said they couldn't recreate the gas smell so they cleaned the vents and put a strong potpourri in the vents. ? outside gas smell persisted in the front and the rear of the car that was very strong so I took it for a 3rd time. A week later vw corporate let lindsay vw service know to remove the intake and check the injectors. All seals were severely damaged and they replaced them. I picked it up a few days ago and now the gas smell is so bad inside (again) and outside the vehicle. While driving it is so strong that I opened the window to help air it out until I got home, but the gas smell outside made it even worse. The car is unsafe. There have been countless recalls, it's wept rain water several inches deep into the front seat foot wells, they didn't replace the carpet when they did the repair and I worry about mold. But this gas situation has been going on since October and it's very concerning. I don't feel safe in this car and I want vw to take it back.
