| Check engine light came on. there was corrosion around the gas cap. shop diagnosed problem as rusted fuel filler neck - replaced at a cost of $330. i had started to notice a fuel smell in my garage, so fumes were leaking out. mechanic said it was probably a matter of time before gas may have come through. vehicle is kept in garage when not in use and there is no reason for this pipe to corrode unless the material is defective. *tr | |||

| Dt*: the contact stated fuel leaked onto the ground while filling the vehicle. the vehicle was inspected by the contact who determined the fuel filler pipe was rusted. the plastic covering around the filler pipe became clogged with road debris and appeared to have caused the rust. additionally, the pipe appeared to have rusted more quickly because it was made of mild steel. the replacement part was ordered through the local dealer, who informed the contact this was a commonly ordered part. | |||
