Consumer Description

I STARTED TO SMELL GAS WHEN NEAR THE MONTERO. I THOUGHT IT WAS ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ABOUT A VALVE SEALING BUT IT GOT WORSE, AND I STARTED NOTICING A GAS PUDDLE UNDER THE MONTERO. I REMOVED THE PLASTIC SHIELD FROM AROUND THE TANK AND FOUND AN AREA ABOUT 9" X 7" HAD SURFACE RUST ON IT AND THE LEAK IS FROM THIS. THE PLASTIC SHIELD TRAPS DIRT AND MOISTURE IN THIS LOCATION AND CAUSED THIS HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR
