| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I left home yesterday with 5 children in the car with me to take my daughter to her ballet and music lessons. everything was fine when we left and i don't remember anything significant happening on the drive. after returning home, my oldest daughter went to the garage to get something out of the car. she came back in and told me the garage smelled of gasoline. i went out to find a huge puddle of gas under the car and the plastic (of all things) coupling between the tank and the line leaking profusely. we took the car in for repairs this morning and found that we are going to have to replace the entire tank as it is all made as one piece. the tank alone is $500.00. that isn't including tax or labor. i am also with out a car for the next 3 days. thankfully no one was hurt, but when i think of what could have happened to my children... not to mention had my daughter not found the leak and we had let it leak a full tank of gas out into the garage under where my children sleep! why did they make that thing out of plastic and not protect it from debris on the road?? *jb |
