| I brought my vehicle to my dealer to get an oil change done, and i was informed that my gasket that controls my gas was cracked, and it had to be replaced. i was charged $460.00, and i was never shown the old part. i don't even know if there really was a problem considering the fact that every time i bring my car to get an oil change, a problem usually occurs, according to them, but no part is ever shown to me. *jb | |||

| The oem fuel pump fits into the gas tank. the positive wire leading into the tank shorted out melting the wire insulation on the outside of the gas tank melting the plastic into causing gas to leak out through the hole it created. this gas flowed over the bare wire. the same wire continues into the inside of the gas tank and it continued to short in there causing the plastic inside of the gas tank to turn brown from the heat. my concern is a spark would have been created perticularly if the tank was partially full the fumes would have ignited causing a serious explosion. the dealership where i bought the replacement part said there are no recalls and the same holds true with the data on your site. the concern should be there are thousands of this model type out there that may have the same dangerous condition.*ak | |||
