| Description of the problem | On filling up with gas at a station, the front end of the gas tank fell down and hit the ground. The front strap that holds the tank rusted out and broke. The truck is 38 months old with 28000 miles on the odometer. No visible rust is showing on the pick up bed and the automobile has never driven on winter roads. I bought the truck new. A definite safety issue is involved. If the truck was moving when this happened, an explosion would be the result. |
