In any car, the smell of gasoline is typically a bad thing. We would say it’s only a problem in combustion-powered cars, but we suppose if you’re smelling gasoline in an EV, that’s arguably even more concerning. Regardless, it’s an unpleasant scent, and it can be a sign that there’s fuel where it isn’t supposed to be, and could potentially be a fire hazard. So, it’s not entirely surprising that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is taking a complaint about such an issue in the 2006 Nissan Frontier seriously. What’s weird, though, is that it seems to be just one complaint.
