| Description of the problem | Punctured gas tank from debris on highway. No warning lights, etc.. Drove 45 miles leaking gas. Didn't realize it until we stopped the car and smelled gasoline very strongly. Had car towed to dealership for replacement of gas tank (which took 3 efforts to get it right) very concerned as to how easy it was to have gas tank punctured, either from material it's made of or location. Probably both! *nm |
