Complaint Summary
STRUCTURE:BODY
Owner Narrative
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Gas tank cover plate is rusting out causing the tank to almost fall out. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My safety and others safety was put at risk as if the tank were to fall out, it could catch the vehicle on fire. Also as the plate rusts even more day by day, the heat from the exhaust and other parts that heat up it can damage the gas tank and once again is a fire hazard. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? No, there are no open recalls from what I canât tell by the vin but same year has same problems and are under recall. Not sure why this one isnât under recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No, there would be no lights for an issue like this.
