I PURCHASED A 2002 DODGE STRATUS R/T. THE MAIN PROBLEM THAT I AM EXPERIENCING IS: STRONG (DANGEROUS) GAS FUMES ARE ENTERING THE CABIN. IT'S BEEN GOING ON SINCE FEB 2009. I CAN SMELL THE FUMES ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE SMELL IS STRONG OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE EVEN WHILE IT IS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I CANNOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING OR HEAT ON BECAUSE IT SUCKS THE GASOLINE FUMES FROM THE ENGINE INTO THE CABIN. I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIME AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK. ALSO I'VE HAD OTHER MECHANICS LOOK AT THIS VEHICLE AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW FIX THE PROBLEMS. I CANNOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN MY V
