Gasoline Storage Problems of Nissan Murano

2003 Nissan Murano. Damage to gas tank shield installed by mfg recall. Ran over small piece of rubber on the highway & it torn the shield loose from the frame of the car. New cars come with metal molded shields mounted to the gas tank. The plastic shields which Nissan is installing are not sturdy enough to provide the proper protection to the gas tank. Cars which have had these plastic shields installed should be recalled to have the molded metal shields installed.

While driving on a highway on vacation, some debris from a vehicle in front of our car fell off and we drove over it. When we stopped a few miles down the rode we smelled gasoline as soon as we opened the car door. When my husband looked under the car, he saw the there were several punctures in the gas tank. The fire department came to contain the gasoline, and then the car was towed to a dealership. The car is still at a dealership waiting on a new gas tank to be shipped (expected delivery date is 1 month from the order date). I've known other cars to run over debris and not have the gas tank punctured. It seems that the gas tank is more susceptible to this sort of problem. I've read other similar complaints as well.
