problem #4

Tribute 4WD

A severe gasoline odor. Happens various times. While driving, odor comes through the vents, or after turning off car, extreme gas odor. Happens a various times, at various speeds, at various levels of gas in my gas tank. We have taken it to the Mazda dealership more times than I can remember. They have supposedly contacted Mazda corporate and can never find a problem. The car completely shut down one time. I was able to pull over and re-start the car. The dealership could find no reason for this either but said they had a similar incident with another Mazda Tribute owner. I am obviously concerned about our health and safety with this vehicle. Thank you for any help you can give me. Andrea ledenbach.
