Consumer Description

I was driving home yesterday and experienced a loud pop in the back of the car and found the backseat had lifted because the gas tank had expanded I am at the dealership right now Hoping that they will give me a loaner And I would like to trade the car in because I don’t trust the car anymore There are other reports of this similar issue I found online The reports say that there is a PVC pressure release valve that is getting stuck and causing the gas tanks to explode I am currently at the dealership and it is going to be inspected It is the first time this dealership has had this issue reported But there are six other incidents reported in other states like Texas, Louisiana, Florida, and North Carolina
