Consumer Description

My Gas tank has Expanded in Size and has made my back seat Pop up and gas leaking when it does because the ring around the Gas pump would Loosen Up. I noticed this issue first around April of Last year when it got Warmer. I would have horrible fuel efficiency, and my gas hand acted very Crazy. A few times it felt like I had been hit by a car from the Back a large Boom! When I am have a problem m car would slow down on highway and wouldn’t Accelerate at all. For past few months it started again. But what made me take it in was a louder bang followed by seat not only popping up but not being able to close. Service center kept my car said it was not safe to drive , I have been without transportation going on 3 weeks.
