    Frequent noxious gas fumes in the cabin of the vehicle. Often when the vehicle is sitting idle, or starting, there is a strong smell of gas in the cabin. This issue began a couple weeks after purchasing the vehicle (february 3) and has happened most recently on may 28. The incident on may 28 was so toxic that i developed a headache and had to open all windows to try to relieve the issue.

    Oil dilution. My vehicle has been inspected by my dealer and has been determined that gas is diluting the oil. This is happening about every 500 miles in warm 70+ degree weather, but happens sooner in colder weather. Because it's a pain to constantly replace the oil and filter, i have only been doing it every 500 miles. I do check the dipstick every so often to monitor the fluid level in the engine.
