Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report a persistent gasoline smell inside or around the cabin, sometimes after shutting off the engine, that dealerships have struggled to diagnose or resolve.
  • Several drivers say the fuel tank will not accept its full rated capacity of 17.2 gallons, filling only to around 10 to 15 gallons despite the reserve capacity.
  • Some owners describe hesitation or lack of response when pressing the accelerator from a stop, especially in hot weather with air conditioning running.
  • A gasoline odor that appears specifically in hot climates after 10 to 30 minutes of driving has been linked by dealership technicians to fuel quality rather than a defect.
