FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED GOT TOWED TO A SHOP SAID THERE IS POSSIBLE LEAKING OF THE FUEL TANK, ALSO SUGGESTED TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP, THEN DECIDED THAT WAS NOT NEEDED AND REPLACED FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. VEHICLE WORKED FOR 3 MONTHS, BUT COULD STILL SMELL FUMES OF GAS WHEN FIRST STARTED CAR, THIS SMELL BEGAN FIRST WEEK I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. SECOND TIME WAS TWO DAYS AGO ON THE HIGHWAY ONCE AGAIN.
