Radio/tape Cd Player problem #1

The oem cd changer installed under the passenger seat of my 99 Eurovan used screws that penetrated the gas tank. 8 years later, the screws in the gas tank have loosened to the point that one can smell gas odor and the engine check light goes on due to evap system leak. This seems to be a serious safety issue should I ever get in an accident causing the screws to rip the gas tank during impact. Vw would not pick up the repair due to age and mileage of the vehicle.

Slide-in Camper problem #2

Weekender model, the "h" shaped which is used to push up/ pop van so some one can sleep up there. If anyone holds to the bar on the "h" top camper falls down unexpectedly. It may have caused injuries to the occupants. There needs to be a bracket to hold the camper up or the "h" bar up. The lift mechanism needs a positive lock feature. The top assembly weighs close to 100 pound and would crash or sufocate the child.

Equipment problem #3

Recall for samsung microwave model m5491g. Key pad doesn't work. Randomly turns on. Could catch fire. Called several times, on hold for over 8 hours, refund promised but have not received it.
