THE EVENT OF SMELLING GASOLINE WHENEVER HEAT WAS TURNED ON IN CAR AND THE SMELL OF GASOLINE WHEN EXITING CAR. FUMES WERE VERY STRONG. CAR TAKEN TO PROCARE AUTOMOTIVE, AND MECHANIC INVESTIGATED AND DETERMINED FUEL RAIL WAS DEFECTIVE. WAS TOLD DANGER IN DRIVING BECAUSE FUEL WAS RUNNING DOWN ON ENGINE BLOCK AND COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE. DESIGN OF PUTTING THE FUEL RAIL ON TOP OF BLOCK WAS DANGEROUS. THE FUEL RAIL AND INJECTOR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE AMOUNT OF THIS WAS OVER $650.00. NO MECHANIC COULD TELL US WHY THIS HAPPENED. THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON ROAD. *AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
