Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The check engine light came on i took it to a local auto shop they put it on a machine & said it either has abad gas cap or a crack in the gas tank. when i take the gas cap off to fill up my car it has no pressure at all & i can smell gas fumes for awhile after that. you can unhook the battery for awhile & the light will stay off for a few days the it comes back on again. i heard there was a recall for this problem & would like to get it fixed before something bad happens.*ak
