STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE EVIDENT ON DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WHEN STATIONARY OR EVEN NOT RUNNING AND PARKED . RESEARCH ONLINE WITH THE SEARCH CRITERIA OF "GASOLINE SMELL ON DRIVER SIDE REAR" PRODUCED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND QUESTIONS ON THIS PHENOMENON. THE CULPRIT IS THE FUEL PUMPS/FILTERS/SEALS FOR THE TWO GASOLINE TANKS. THEY ARE MAKE FROM PLASTIC AND ARE PRONE TO CRACKS OR LEAKS FROM FULL TANKS. ONE PORSCHE PARTS SUPPLIER PUT IT THIS WAY ON THEIR DIY REPAIR PAGE "THE QUESTION IS NOT IF, BUT WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM." THE SOLUTION IS TO TAKE OUT THE REAR SEATS, CUT THE CARPET, REMOVE THE SEAT BELT ANCHORS, REMOVE THE COVER UNDER THE CARPET TO ACCESS THE PUMPS AND FILTER. THIS IS A PROBLEM PORSCHE MUST KNOW ABOUT AS THEY HAVE CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE PUMP PARTS.

SOMETIME IN 2011 I NOTICED THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (AUTOMATIC). I WAS ON A LONG DRIVE FROM FLORIDA TO MY HOME IN MARYLAND WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A THING UNTIL IT BEGAN TO HAPPEN ROUTINELY AT ALL SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE VALVE BODY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4,500. I MISSED THE WARRANTY PERIOD BY 60 DAYS SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE COST. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 75,000 MILES ON IT AS I USUALLY USED MY OTHER CAR FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE. I'M LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT UNTIL I CAN AFFORD SUCH A COSTLY REPAIR. I GOT THE VEHICLE FROM A DEALER IN NY WITH ONLY 3000 MILES ON IT. I'M CERTAIN THIS WAS A DEFECT THAT PORSCHE KNEW ABOUT AND THEY SHOULD OFFER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THE REPAIR.
