THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK CAUSED BY A WIRE CONTAINING A HOLE IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE CAR TO SMELL LIKE GASOLINE WHEN SITTING INSIDE. POSSIBLY, CAUSED BY THE TOP OF THE CAR RUBBING AGAINST THE WIRE, DUE TO INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. SERVICE ADVISOR MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS NOT DUE TO THE OWNER/DRIVER'S FAULT AND IT MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE.
