#724877July 3, 2000
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO, GASOLINE LEAKED FROM TANK TO GARAGE FLOOR. FUMES ENTERED HOME. WE WERE AWAKE AND QUICKLY MOVED VEHICLE AND VENTILATED HOME, BEFORE FUMES REACHED BURNING FIREPLACE. DEALER REPLACED A PLUG AND PROMISED IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. 7/2/2000 GASOLINE LEAKED IN GARAGE WHILE FAMILY WAS SLEEPING. FUMES CONTAMINATED ENTIRE HOME. WIFE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL FOR EXPOSURE. DEALER NOW STATES THE PLASTIC TANK MISFORMED BUT WILL NOT ADVISE WHY. SERVICE MANAGER, STEVE, STATES HE HAS SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE, BUT REFUSED TO INSTALL A METAL TANK. WE HAVE ADVISED THAT WE DO NOT WANT THE TRUCK BACK AND FEAR FOR OUR FAMILY'S SAFETY. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER. IN 1998, THIS VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM OTHER CONSUMERS MENTIONED ON YOUR COMPLAINT PAGE. THE DEALER IS ALSO PERFORMING THE BRAKE RECALL WORK. I FEEL THIS PLASTIC GAS TANK IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, SINCE IT MISFORMED AND LEAKED ON IT'S OWN. IF THE DEALER MAKES US BRING THE TRUCK BACK HOME AND FINISH THE LEASE, WE ARE AFRAID TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE OR PUT IT IN OUR GARAGE. PLEASE HELP.
