Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR QUIT SOME TIME AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A FUEL CAP. AFTER LEAVING THERE A FEW DAYS LATER, SAME THING. BUT THEN I NOTICED FUELING IT UP TOOK 15 TO 20 MINUTES. SO I TOOK IT BACK I ANDROID THEM ABOUT THE LIGHT AND THE FUELING PROBLEM. AFTER HOURS OF SEARCHING I GET A CALL SAYING THAT MY FILTER LAYING IN THE FRAME OF THE TRUCK WAS PLUGGED. WHICH SUCKED MY FUEL TANK DOWN LIKE A PANCAKE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT INSTEAD OF THE FUEL CAP BREATHING OUT ITWASSUCKING IN, PULLING ALL KINDS OF DUST INTO THE TANK. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS FILTER WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE FOUND NO LITERATURE ON THIS EITHER. I BOUGHT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TRUCK AND IT IS NOT COVERED. WHAT CAN I DO?
