I JUST PURCHASED MY CAR IN LATE APRIL IT IS NOW NOVEMBER. I DIDN'T NOTICE THE BRAKE PROBLEM WHICH IS A VIBRATION WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, UNTIL A WEEK AFTER. I FIGURED I PROBABLY NEED NEW BRAKE PADS. ONE OF MY LEAST CONCERNS. BUT LAST MONTH I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE OTHER VEHICLES AROUND ME OR THE LOCATION I WAS AT. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND THERE'S WAS NO LEAK. I KEPT DOING THIS WHEN I SMELLED GAS AND NOTHING. LAST NIGHT NOVEMBER 6 2011, I FILLED UP MY TANK TO GO OUT OF TOWN. WHEN I WAS LEAVING TO GO BACK HOME FROM THE LONG RIDE, THE PARKING AREA SMELLED LIKE GAS! IT WAS LEAKING FROM MY CAR! ABOUT A QUARTER OF GAS LEAKED. THIS TIME I SAW A PUDDLE ON THE GROUND WHERE THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WOULD BE. NOT ONLY WAS THIS EMBARRASSING BUT I HAD MY WIFE AND CHILD WITH ME IN THE CAR THAT I HAD TO TAKE HOME SMELLING THIS AS WELL AS TAKING THE RISK OF BLOWING UP! WE DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OF GETTING HOME, THAT'S WHY I HAD NO CHOICE AND TOOK THE RISK. THANK GOD WE GOT HOME SAFE. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. *TR
