I am concerned about the fact that in this size of vehicle that the fuel tank ruptured and that the doors crimpled so bad that the passengers were unable to get out of the vehicle in a timely manner. Please contact me concerning this. Thank you.
Consumer noticed that whenever putting gasoline into the gas tank to the full level, and then driving vehicle it becomes half full, but fuel gauge indicates full without the consumer adding gas to the tank.
