Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We started noticing a strong gas smell in our car and bad fuel economy. the smell was so strong that it was making us sick after being in the car for more than 15-20 minutes. i took the car to a shop and they told me that it the "fuel rail is leaking and the fuel injection o-rings need to be replaced also". the shop cannot get the parts due to a shortage. they said that the parts are only being used for "safety issues for dealers first". so nothing is being done to fix the problem. we need our car and it could possibly catch on fire due to this problem and we cannot get it fixed. *jb
