Description of the problem	Incident: 2005 nissan murano purchased on july 5, 2005 from collins nissan in indianapolis, indiana. Vehicle id # [xxx] i was driving west on interstate 86 through ny state on the morning of august 1, 2005 . A few miles west of corning, ny i noticed the smell of gas. Stopped at a rest area and noticed gas leaking on the parking lot. I proceeded to jamestown, ny (50 miles) to take the car to the closest nissan dealer.. Signature nissan 716 664 0175 discovered that something had gone through the gas tank and i would need to replace it. He showed me how the gas tank drops down and has a smooth unprotected surface facing forward where (what ever it was that hit the tank) went through the plastic surface. I delivered the damaged gas tank to collins nissan and it is being held at there service department for further inspection... For over 50 years of driving , i have never had anything like this happen to me while driving many makes of cars. I am concerned about the way the tank hangs down, has a vulnerable surface, and is not protected from road hazards.... The leaking gas could have caused much bigger problems. I am concerned that this could happen again with much worse results. nm updated 07/19/2012 js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6)
