Tank Assembly problem of Chrysler 300C
The car is a 2006 Chrysler 300c. The VIN of this vehicle was 2C3KA63H76_. Right after pulling away from a filling station the car stalled, immediately restarted,drove out on the street and stalled again before reaching the next signal light. Restarted kept slightly more pressure on accelerator, and was fortunate not to have stop or slow down in order to reach home it has did the same thing about a month later. The only way I can be sure of the incident not occurring again is to guess how many miles I have gone based on cars? approximate miles per gal since your agency has completed your inquiry ( NHTSA action number pe13016 ) and the manufacturer has agreed to extend the fuel tank warranty to " lifetime ", how do I obtain an authorization to have my vehicle repaired. I have received no information from Chrysler as of this date ( 3/15/14 ). This tank assembly problem happened on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013.

Tank Assembly problem of Dodge Charger
The car is a 2006 Dodge Charger. Vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy street while driving during rush hour traffic. Luckily no one hit me (especially since I had my daughter in the car). I had just filled up the gas tank (did not overfill--gas is way too expensive for that). Had it towed and the dealer had to replace the fuel tank, o-ring unit, vapor canister, solenoid-proportional purge and some misc. Pins etc. Cost me $1900. 00 out of my pocket with the dealer giving me a 10% service discount. They also informed me that with the vapor canister failing, if you were in a rollover accident the car most likely would catch fire which would definitely decrease your chances of surviving. This is a huge safety concern for anyone that is driving or riding in the vehicle even if it only shuts off. You can not brake or steer when the car shuts off so getting out of harms way is a challenge without getting hit by another vehicle. I see that there are a huge number of complaints regarding this issue and it needs to be put out as a service recall. Not an alert or bulletin but an actual recall. I guess when people start losing their lives and the lives of their loved ones that are passengers then maybe Dodge will do the right thing. I see that there is some info out there that Dodge was extending the warranty on the fuel tank/system and letters were to be sent to the car owners. I have not received anything I honestly believe that I should be reimbursed. Dodge used to have "safety first" on their website. Odd, I don't see that anymore. It was December 11, 2013 when this tank assembly issue happened.

Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in an underbody fire. What dealer will Chrysler intends to inspect your vehicle and install an oem trailer hitch where appropriate, free of charge (parts and labor) to better manage crash forces in low-speed impacts. . . . What you must do to ensure your safety: once you receive your follow up notice in the mail, simply contact dealer right away to schedule a service appointment. We have never received a follow up notice in the mail. I took it upon myself to call the dealer and they were not helpful. They said they were booked with appointments but would give me a call back to schedule a future appointment. I never received a call back. I called again and was left on hold for over twenty minutes. I called again, left a message with customer service and nver received a call back. Regarding an individuals safety, it seems it is not of importance to the local Chrysler, Jeep dealer. I received the recall letter a few months ago and yet have not received a call and just about forgot about until my husband asked about it. I have given up on contacting the dealer and hence the complaint letter to you. I am six months pregnant and this should be the least of my concerns but now I have to worry about this along with my pregnancy. Please advise for I would like to get this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you, eve caterdral c/o expectacion catedral. It was Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014 when this tank assembly issue occurred.

Tank Assembly problem of Lexus ES
The vehicle involved was a 2011 Lexus Es. While traveling on the highway with the traffic at approximatley 70mph, midmorning, we heard a loud pop from the car. We saw nothing on the road and no one else traveling around us experienced any problems. We were notified by a car traveling next to us that we were leaking gas. We proceeded off the highway at the first exit and pulled into a gas station and shut down the car. Within 8-10 min, the entire tank of gas (we just filled the tank up approximately 20 min prior) had leaked onto the ground. The fire dept was called just in case the car blew up. The firefighter looked under the vehicle and put a plug in the gas tank to stop what fuel was left from leaking out the tank. The car was towed to the closest dealer. The serviceman at the dealership determined the car had a whole in the gas tank, a dented oil pan and a small 2in gash in the spare-tire well ( the latter two we never verified). The vehicle, purchased new 1 month prior, had been driven approximately 600-800 miles within a 4 day period. As the main driver, I noticed the vehicle had a slow takeoff and took several pushes of the gas peddle to get moving eventhough it is a 6 cylinder vehicle. This issue happened on 11/27/11.

Tank Assembly problem of Mercury Sable
The vehicle is a 2008 Mercury Sable. On the above date - September 28, 2011, I became aware that the gas in the gas tank was moving
around (sloshing) whenever the vehicle stopped or started moving from a dead stop. I contacted Ford customer relationship in florida and they were not helpful at all. I talked to them
3 different times - - -they couldn't tell me if there are baffles in the tank to prevent the sloshing -
they didn't even know what a baffle was - -would not direct me to someone with more technical knowledge. Last contact was Thursday, oct. 13,2011, yesterday - - was on the phone 32 minutes with an individual
who couldn't find the answer and wouldn't try to find someone who could give me an answer. A gas tank should not have a problem such as this in 39 months of ownership. Gas tanks don't
"wear out" in this period of time. And I can't get any answers. There has been no accident or damage
to this vehicle. Does my vehicle have baffles in the gas tank?? is there a safety issue here with the sloshing of
the gas? if there are baffles why would they suddenly stop functioning? would this problem
be covered in the vehicle warranty?. It was Wed., Sep. 28, 2011 when this tank assembly issue occurred.

All fixed under warranty, except latest problem. Car won't run. Had to tow to dealership. Car shakes and engine cuts completely out. Dealership not cooperating, fixed the wrong thing, engine still cuts out/stalls, now saying I "overfilled the gas tank, ruining the charcoal fuel canister. " this is not covered under warranty?! there has to be another reason this happened. I have never overfilled or topped off my gas. I think they messed it up, or perhaps the gauges are wrong. If the gauges are wrong, it's a factory issue and should be covered under warranty!!!!. It was 12/21/2006 when this tank assembly issue occurred.

Tank Assembly problem of Nissan Pathfinder
The vehicle involved was a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. The VIN of this vehicle is 5N1AR18B68_. Starting last summer we initially noticed a problem with our gas gauge reading, but it seemed to go away. It is now happening frequently and almost caused an accident. We were in heavy traffic on a 4 lane and we thought we had enough gas, 1/4 tank?, but all of a sudden we ran out of gas. We were lucky that we were not hit by a semi truck. We fortunately were able to push it to the side of the road and wait for my son to come with a can of gas. We called dorschel Nissan in rochester and they agreed that it was a recall, we had went on your site and checked prior (10v075000). We scheduled an appointment. Now we received a call from them telling us that it is not covered, that it was a warranty extension item and that we are past the date?? wow, what customer service. I think this is a safety issue and that this is not a normal wear and tear item. They obviously have had problems with these sensors (80,000 recalls?) now the gas gauge is doing other things, saying we don't have any gas when we just filled up?. The failure date was Jul. 15, 2013.

I even bought a new gas cap, no change. Now that the warranty expired, they tell us it the fuel pressure sensor in the tank needs replacing. There are no after market parts for this, and I refuse to pay the dealership for the part they should have replaced under warranty.

Tank Assembly problem of Toyota Pickup
The vehicle is a 1993 Toyota Pickup. I was removing the gas tank due to a fuel leak and found that the frame had rusted heavily and entire sections of the frame box wall were gone. Toyota had a voluntary buyback program for 1995-2004 Pickup trucks due to extreme frame rusting. I have never seen frame rust this bad. Toyota should be encouraged to extend the buyback program to 1993 models or recall the vehicles and repair them. Pictures are available. It was Nov. 8, 2013 when this tank assembly issue happened.

Tank Assembly problem of Toyota Corolla
The vehicle having this issue was a 2007 Toyota Corolla. The VIN of this Corolla is 2T1BR32E27_. I stopped at a gas station to fill my gas tank and while this was being done I heard a loud bang similar to a gunshot. When I started my car there was a loud rattling sound. I stopped the car and got out to look underneath but couldn't see anything hanging. Since I was near home I started the car and drove slowly home. I took it to the dealer the next day and they repaired the gas tank strap passenger side. I told them I considered this to be a design defection and a safety issue. They stated there has been no recall despite the fact that they had seen quite a few of the same problems. I had to pay for the repair. Toyota corp has refused to reimburse me for the repair because my car is out of warranty. I have had many cars and have never had this problem before. I am told that there is a drivers side strap as well so I suppose I can look forward to this happening again plus since it is due to corrosion I can expect this to happen again in about five years. I do not know how likely this is to lead to the gas tank dropping but I don't feel to good about it. This issue happened on 08/17/12.

Tank Assembly problem of Cadillac CTS
The car is a 2005 Cadillac Cts. While driving on the highway under normal operating conditions, my properly maintained and unmodified 2005 Cadillac Cts caught fire. The fire caused significant damage to the drive train and fuel tank with the plastic fuel tank seconds away from being totally breached by flames and likely significant injuries including death. The fire burned for 30-40 minutes until the responding firefighters were able to jack up the vehicle and extinguish the fire with water from underneath. Fortunately, the firefighters were able to extinguish the vehicle fire prior to the fuel tank breach with no apparent related injuries. Pursuant to an expert analysis and report, the following manufacturing and/or design defects sequentially caused said fire: 1. While driving, the rear carrier pinion bearing failed; 2. Failed carrier pinion caused excessive play in the pinion gear; 3. Excessive play in the pinion gear caused failure of the pinion gear seal in the ring and pinion housing; 4. Failed pinion gear seal allowed the rear carrier lubricant to leak; 5. With vehicle in motion, rear carrier lubricant contacted rotating driveshaft assembly; 6. Rotating driveshaft and pinion yoke "sprayed" lubricant in the rear axle housing area including onto exhaust, plastic fuel tank, rubber driveshaft coupler and floor pan; 7. Heat from exhaust or pinion gear ignited lubricant & subsequent fire quickly spread across the bottom of the vehicle. Expert report concluded that manufacturing and / or design defects were previously well-documented by nhsa 2005 Cadillac Cts nhsa owner complaints and said fire could have been prevented by vehicle manufacturer through recall notices and use of non-combustible materials. It was Saturday, May. 19, 2012 when this tank assembly issue happened.
