MY HUSBAND AND I OWN TWO G55'S PURCHASED ON THE SAME DAY. THEY BOTH STARTED LEAKING FUEL INFREQUENTLY WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE FUEL DROPPING TO THE GROUND AND SMELL THE GAS. I FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THE OTHER VIN AS WELL. THAT COMPLAINT NUMBER IS 10490150. THE LINK TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEO SHOWING THE LEAK IS IN THE TEXT OF THE OTHER COMPLAINT. WHEN WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CANNOT DETECT IT; THEY KEEP TRYING TO SEND US HOME. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. *TR
