| Description of the problem | Today while out of town we were attempting to refill our 2005 nissan murano. After i had got beyond the half full point someone at the gas station pointed out that there was something leaking from our vehicle. After closer inspection by myself and then a mechanic at the service station it was noted to have a hole in the gas tank. I am unsure what caused this hole to occur being that we never heard anything actually hit the vehicle. Not only did this put a damper on our weekend getaway but we also found out how little coverage the extended warranty provided to us, which was a shock since we were very pressured into buying this extended warranty and were told that the vehicle would be covered and also that we would have 24 hour roadside assistance. After contacting the nissan 24hr roadside assistance we learned that we had no coverage. *jb |
