Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: For a some time i noticed the auto was not starting as quick as usual and i smelled gas a couple of days thing the gas station attendant had over filled my tank. i kept smelling gas so took it to get checked. the gas sender lines were all pitted and rusty. the gas tank was also pitted and rusty at the seams and other areas of the tank. i was wondering why in the past few months my gas mileage was so poor all of a sudden. besides, i would think it to be a very dangerous thing. the auto has been kept under cover since i bougt it , i don't believe such important components should have rusted and pitted so badly unless it was poor quality material. if i was in an accident it could have easily caused a fire. it caused me $ 710.00 to replace tank and sender. i notified the manufacturer of the problem, but received no acknowlegement.
