We leased this car in April of 2025. When we got the car it had a strong smell like gasoline. The dealer said it would go away in a few days. The smell only got worse, so the dealer picked it up to “clean it” He returned the car 2 days later in which the gas smell was even worse and made me dizzy/nauseous. The dealer took it back for a more involved “cleaning” and it’s been over 2 weeks now. The dealer cannot tell us what’s wrong with the car and why it smells like gasoline, they are stating they are waiting on new parts for the car (such as carpeting) The dealer did not provide us with any receipts so we do not have documentation of what they did to the car At this point we feel unsafe to drive the car especially with our young children-we are stuck paying a lease for a lemon car.
