| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Smelled fuel coming from under the vehicle. found fuel tank rusted and fuel seeping out of tank. also found tank protective pan that holds tank up rusted and ready to fall off, which would allow the fuel tank to fall down. this would be a very dangerous problem. called local dealership was told there is no recall for this but the head service manager would give me a call. so far no call back. this will hopefully turn into a recall, but only after someone gets killed. *nm |
