VERY STRONG SMELL OF GAS FROM REAR RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. FUEL LEAK FOUND UNDER VEHICLE. TOOK CAR TO AUTO SHOP; MECHANIC FOUND A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDER/PUMP. REPLACED SENDER/PUMP. RIGHT NOW THERE IS NO STRONG FUEL SMELL AND NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAK AFTER THE REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I TOOK THIS CAR TO A SHOP FOR FUEL LEAK ISSUE AND THIS IS ALSO MY SECOND FILING A COMPLAINT VIA THIS AGENCY. I THINK 211S HAVE DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM. I DON'T SEE RECALL ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL...THIS A SAFETY AND HEALTH ISSUE TO THE OWNER AND PUBLIC, AND ENVIRONMENT. *TR
