Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2006 I NOTICED AFTER STOPPING AT A STORE AND GOT BACK IN IT WAS HARD TO START. IT FINALLY DID START, THIS HAD NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. AS I WAS DRIVING I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE HAD MOVED FROM 3/4 OF A TANK TO 1/2. I THOUGHT MAYBE I JUST LOOKED AT IT WRONG. BUT BY THE NEXT STOP LIGHT I WAS DOWN TO 1/4 TANK. BY THIS TIME I WAS CLOSED TO HOME, SO WHEN GOT HOME AND GOT OF THE CAR I NOTICED A TRAIL OF GAS BEHIND ME. I LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND GAS WAS POURING DOWN FROM THE GAS TANK ON TOP OF EXHAUST. HOW IT DIDN'T CATCH ON FIRE I HAVE NO IDEA. I FOUND THAT THE GAD LINE FROM THE FUEL PUMP TO THE MAIN GAS LINE HAD RUSTED AND UNDER PRESSURE IT BLEW. THANK GOD WE DINT GIVE THIS CAR TO OUR GRANDDAUGHTER AS WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF DOING.
