Consumer Description

BROUGHT CAR INTO DEALER AS ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER EXPLAINED TO ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW GAS CAP ($200). DID NOT FIX PROBLEM AND WHEN RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK AS IT WAS ROTTED. I HAD OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR A YEAR BUT HOW DOES A 6 YEAR OLD CAR HAVE A ROTTED GAS TANK? DEALERSHIP (BALISE TOYOTA, SPRINGFIELD, MA) CLAIMED "WELL THAT IS NEW ENGLAND FOR YA". I AM OVER 70 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF CARS IN NEW ENGLAND OVER THE YEARS, NONE OF WHICH HAVE EVER HAD A ROTTED GAS TANK. *TR
