Fuel leaking under vehicle while parked. Previous recall for fuel filler tube completed. Since completion, strong gas odor was evident when tank was filled and in garage. Vehicle returned to dealer after the gas odor occurred after every tank fill. Vehicle returned to service center that did recall, as no issues existed prior to recall. I was told there was nothing wrong with the recall repair. I then went and immediately filled the tank and returned to same service area. I was told, still no problem. Vehicle taken to a different dealer after realizing gas was leaking onto the garage floor and repaired at my expense-??$1,426.02. It seemed enough of an urgent safety concern to have it immediately fixed. I basically was told to live with the smell at the original dealership.
Started as fuel odor and then developed into a significant fuel leak from the fuel tank. Looks like it was the fuel tank flange. We had an extended warranty that covered the repair however the vehicle has only 36000 miles and this failure was extremely dangerous.
