Consumer Description
The vehicle has a fuel leak. I just purchased this vehicle a few weeks ago, it's 16 years old and has only 36,000 miles on it. It smelled terribly of fuel when I purchased it. I had the vehicle looked at and it has a fuel leak where the quick connectors connect to the fuel tanks. Anyhow, there's a special coverage adjustment which extended the warranty to 10 yrs/100,000 miles. I'm obviously outside of those parameters, but I feel that since the manufacturer admitted fault and stated that my particular VIN is affected, they should be held accountable for fixing a safety issue with my vehicle. How they got away with issuing a special coverage adjustment for such an issue rather than a simple recall is beyond me.
