Keeping this simple, the car has less than 60,000 miles on it, and i was smelling gas. took it to the garage, and was told that the gas tank, near the talk, rusted as it probably was not sealed properly. how could this happen, it seems it is right around where it connects together. this is ridiculous, and should be recalled. i noticed that it was on cars, but not on this particular vehicle. this needs to be looked into, as it jeopardized the safety of myself and my child.
