TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR WAS TURNED ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND I WAS DRIVING TO MY INLAWS 2 MILES AWAY TO PICK MY CHILDREN UP WHEN I STARTED SMELLING SMOKE ABOUT 1/2 MILE INTO MY RIDE. MY CAR QUICKLY FILLED UP WITH SMOKE AND I PULLED INTO A RANDOM DRIVEWAY. FLAMES STARTED IN THE TRUNK. I HAD THE A/C ON AND USED MY TURN SIGNALS. PUT MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN.

STRONG FUEL SMELL IN AND AROUND THE CAR FOR THE LAST MONTH WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, TODAY I SEE PUDDLE OF FUEL IN FRONT OF LEFT REAR TIRE, I CRAWLED UNDER THE CAR AND SEE GAS RUNNING DOWN THE GAS LINE, REMOVED THE HEAT SHIELD AROUND THE GAS LINE TO SEE GAS LINES HAVE EXCESSIVE RUST BEHIND THE HEAT SHIELD AND GAS RUNNING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S NOT FROM THE GAS TANK LIKE THE RECALL, IT'S FROM THE GAS LINE ITSELF LEAKING AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WALKING BY SMOKING OR CHILDREN PLAYING THAT MAY CAUSE A SPARK YET I CAN'T FIND A RECALL BUT SEE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS WHILE LOOKING FOR RECALLS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THIS. I PUT A PAN UNDER THE LEAK BUT IT IS STILL OPEN GAS AND A LOT OF FUMES THAT COULD IGNITE. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE BODILY HARM IS DONE. THANK YOU. *TR
