Reported on Apr 05, 2011
| AFTER EXITING HIGHWAY, I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE ENGINE TEMP. WAS NORMAL SO I DROVE STRAIGHT TO MY DEALERSHIP. WHEN I ARRIVED I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF DIESEL FUEL. THE DEALER TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AND INVESTIGATED, THEY FOUND A FUEL LEAK CAUSED BY A PINHOLE IN THE FUEL LINE AT THE #2 INJECTOR. THEY REPAIRED THE PROBLEM AND RETURNED THE CAR THE NEXT DAY.
