Failure Date: 08/21/2013

Vehicle was picked up brand new from the dealership, with approximately 1/8 tank of fuel. The fuel tank was filled, and the following day, shortly after leaving for a trip, a grinding/rattling noise started. Inspection under the vehicle revealed the front of the fuel tank was approximately 8-10 inches lower than the back, and the strap to secure the tank to the vehicle nearly on the ground. A metal guard on the inboard side of the tank was rubbing against the driveshaft, causing the noise when driving.
