Fuel pump under the rear passenger side is leaking large amounts of fuel allowing the fumes to build up in the cabin of the vehicle. No damage or accidents have occurred that would cause this and has made me sick while driving as well as paranoid as I am driving around a car with leaking gas in the interior cabin. 2017 Volkswagen Passet

On Friday the 13 of July 8 days after having an oil change I started my car and it was miss firing and my husband opened the hood and gas and coolant was spraying all over. He disconnected the battery..had it towed to dealer and they said it was rodent and I wonder if this is a common problem because our other vehicles haven't been attacked in 18 years of living here
