Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Today i started my car, it was about 35 degrees outside. as i released the emergency brake and turned up the heat, i smelled gasoline. thought it was just becuase it was so cold that the fuel did not burn all the way. at lunch i drove to burger king and still smelled the horrible fumes. on my way home it was still there and i had to have the heat on because it was so cold out and i was stuck in traffic. so needless to say i have a splitting head ache and am very frustrated at the information i found on the web. with the millions and millions of dollars car companies make you would think that when there is a problem of this magnatude they would be more than willing to fix the problem. what if the fumes from the gasoline had knocked me out while i was driving home and ran into someone and killed them would'nt it be cheaper to be proactive than reactive?*ak
