| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Spouse was driving to work at a speed of about 55-65 mph. she hit a large skunk on the drivers side. the impact of the skunk with the fuel tank fill hose snapped the goose neck 3/4 of the way off of the plastic tank. she was low on gas, so the problem was discovered when she filled up two days later. most of a tank of gas was spilled at the gas station, or along the road to get it home until i could get it fixed. when i called the dealer to inquire if there was a protective plate missing, i was told there was none shown in their system. the fill hose is completely exposed, with no barrier between the fill hose by the back wheel, and the front wheel. just going over a road with big ruts could potentially damage the hose.*jb |
