Consumer Description

THE PART OF FACTORY INSTALLED GAS TANK SKID PLATE BROKE. THE PIECE UNDERNEATH THE TANK BACK PART FELL TO THE GROUND WHILE THE FORWARD PART REMAINED ATTACHED. IF I WAS BACKING UP, THE PLATE COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON THE GROUND FORCING PLATE INTO THE GAS TANK SPILLING GAS AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE FROM THE FRICTION OR HOT EXHAUST . AT THE TIME I WAS JUST PULLING OUT A GAS STATION WHEN I HEARD A SCRAPING NOISE. I PULLED TO THE CURB AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND SAW THE PLATE HANGING THERE. IF I HAD BACKED UP I COULD HAVE EASILY RUPTURED THE GAS TANK AND CAUSE A FIRE. THIS PLATE IS ATTACHED TO THE MAIN SKID PLATE BY WELDS AND IS A VERY HEAVY GAGE AND WILL NOT BEND EASILY. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE FRONT OF THE PLATE FELL WHILE I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS?
