Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: In cold weather when my engine has only been running for a few minutes, i smell a very strong fuel odor. my husband says that it is strongest on the right hand (passenger) side of the engine but he says that the smell seems to dissipate once the engine is up to operating temperature. i have recently exceeded the 36000 mile warranty and have not had a repair done yet under my extended warranty but i think that this shouldn't be a problem that happens to a car with only 36000 miles on it.*ak
