No chugging but it is still sucking gas and like the thread a few days ago, at idle it smells like a have a gasoline air freshener. When it idles and I give it gas it shoots black smoke out of the exhaust and leaves a ton of black soot on the ground. Im not an advanced machanic but maybe the problem isn't too major.

Take it back to the dealer and have them fix it quick. It sounds like muliple problems
