Consumer Description

I WAS APPROACHING THE ONRAMP,& AS I TURNED ON I HEARD A NOISE. THINKING I HAD A FLAT I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF TO CHECK MY TIRES UPON ROUNDING THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE I SAW LIQUID ON THE GROUND UPON BACKING UP A STEP I COULD SEE IT WAS MY GAS TANK WITH THE BROKEN BRACKETS. I THANK GOD THERE WERE NO SPARKS & THAT I WAS NOT YET @ SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS TERRIFIED AS TO HOW CLOSE TO DEATH I POSSIBLY WAS. THEN I FIND OUT HERE THAT IT HAD HAPPENED 1 OTHER TIME (THAT'S REPORTED HERE) BUT NOT TO THE MANUFACTURER. NOW I'M OUT OF MY VEHICLE WHILE BEING REPAIRED AND OUT OF WORK TILL IT'S FIXED. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET BUT WILL BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENCE. I ONLY WISH I HAD THOUGH TO TAKE PICTURES BEFORE IT WAS LOADED & TOWED TO THE GARAGE.
