1 Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2012

The vehicle had a very strong smell of gasoline inside the SUV and also outside and when I stopped on road fuel was pouring out of it and I got so frightened that it would catch fire. My fuel tank guage went from a full tank to less than a half tank of gas in a matter of minutes and the SUV was sluggish and felt weird. I took the SUV immediately to my car repair place and they dismantled the gas tank and found the fuel module to have a hole in it and is corroded. I looked online and there is a NHTSA action number of pe07013 on it and I found hundreds of complaints about this online and I am very upset as this repair is going to cost me close to a thousand dollars and I am a disabled american veteran and this amount of money is very hard for me to come up with. Also the SUV was very unsafe and if I continued to drive it I am sure it would have went up in flames. My SUV is at levines auto repair garage in new windsor NY 12553 and their number is 845-219-5508 . I want to know what my rights are as to this matter. Thank you.
