    Around Dec. 22, 2021, I started smelling gas outside and inside of my car (particularly the right back seat near the gas tank). I took it to a local mechanic and he urged me to take it to the dealership for service and to not drive the car a lot because it could be dangerous. He said it was the gas tank pump and that there was a recall that I should look into. I took my car to a local dealership for service and upon inspection, they removed and replaced the fuel pump and plastic lines - they confirmed there was an issue with the gas pumps.

    Strong smell of gas when driving, also strong smell of gas around car in general. Underneath the car you can see gas pouring from fuel tank, looks like it’s coming from top of gas tank. Whenever I park in a parking space, in my driveway or park for any period of time I always leave a puddle of gas. I just started my car and looked underneath at gas tank, there is a steady stream of fuel coming from somewhere on gas tank.

    The traction control light has come on for the second time since I've had this vehicle. It decelerates and starts rumbling when it's about to cut off. That is a big safety issue and any part that has to do with this issue needs to be recalled.
