FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2001 DAEWOO LANOS S HATCHBACK AND I KEPT SMELLING A FUEL SMELL. I REMOVED THE BACK SEAT AND FOUND FUEL SITTING ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP. I NOTICED IF YOU SHOOK THE VEHICLE WITH A FULL TANK OF FUEL THE FUEL MODULE WOULD LEAK. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE NOT DOON ANY WORK TO THE FUEL SYSTEM AT ALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED DUE TO THE LACK OF PARTS AND NO DAEWOO DEALERSHIP SUPPORT. MY CONCERN IS HOW MANY MORE DAEWOO CUSTOMERS HAVE THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM?
