Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I just experienced my 4th fuel tank fracture over 5 years. the fractures occur in the surface of the tank not caused by wear of any sort. they just spontaneously occur. the tank is completely factory installed in the trunk of the car this allows fumes to enter the entire car. this is a very dangerous condition. i have never experienced a fractured tank in any brand in 40 years of driving. this is a serious matter. *jb
