| Description of the problem | Driving down road. Something fell off the bottom of the vehicle. Arrived at destination and smelled strong odor of gas. Looked under vehicle and saw gas running out onto ground. Took car to mechanic. Was told gas system had corroded through allowing gas to leak onto ground. Had car towed to dealer for warranted repairs. Dealer service personnel not forthcoming with cause of leak, will not provide affected parts for inspection. I considered this an extreme fire hazard as a pool of gas collected under and around the vehicle. |
