Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Fuel leak and strong fuel odor from left rear filler neck area. my vehicle started having this problem a few days ago and a quick internet search turned up lots of other people with the same problem. there is a great risk of fire with potential for injury/death and of course property damage. this vehicle should be recalled asap! *jb email update (february 07, 2007): the leak is from the fuel pump/fuel sender module that enters the tank. an epoxy repair was made. we are in the process of trading this vehicle in. we live in upstate ny where a great deal of salt is used in winter. it seems the design of this tank allows a brine solution to sit in a recess where the fuel pump/sender module lives and corrodes the components. from my internet research i found a lot of people with similar reports of this issue. it is extremely dangerous, especially if the vehicle is garaged.
