problem #1

Dec 152016

Metris 4-cyl

  • 9,700 miles
Gasoline smell noticed in and around vehicle after 5 minutes while idling cold. After driving approximately 10 minutes gasoline smell increased inside vehicle to the extent that vehicle had to be stopped, windows rolled down and fumes dissipated. Repeated twice while returning to original start point. Noticed gasoline smell on several occasions prior but very faint. Seems to be cold temperature related. Day of severe incident was extreme cold. Issue is severe enough I'm apprehensive to drive the vehicle.
