Description of the problem	I have a three year old (2001) nissan frontier xe quad cab. The gas tank has corroded through in this short period of time. Although nissan has picked up the cost of the part, i was still responsible for the labor costs. I admire their willingness to pay for the part; however, a safety issue such as this might warrant an investigation and a possible recall. It seems as if a gas tank should be the most secure part on an automobile. The exposure to harmful fumes and possible explosion are serious safety concerns. To have a gas tank corrode in 39 months of use is inexcusable. Although the car is no longer under the manufacturer's warranty, this is an issue of more global concern and should be a defect completely paid for by the manufacturer on all similar models. *la
