| I bought a volkswagen passat 2002 from a local dealer. the vehicle came with no warranty. the day i got the vehicle i filled the car with full tank of gasoline. i parked the car outside my apartment and next day when i checked there was gas leaking from the car. this happened like for 4 days and when the fuel in the car reduced to half of the fuel tank capacity it stopped. i thought it should be some sort of leak which stopped by itself. but next time when i did a full tank re fill again the gasoline started leaking. even this time it stopped after the fuel in the car reduced to half the tank level. i called up volkswagen customer care to get this fuel tank replaced as per nhtsa action number : pe08008. they told the fuel tank was replaced in june 2011. its just a year and again it is happening the same. they didn't give me the information were it was replaced and told it has crossed 1 year of warranty period and they cant help. but here it just 11 days from june 2011 and the fuel tank was spoil yet again. i request you to take this appeal of mine and get this fuel tank replaced for me. this is a matter of safety. if it was something else i wouldn't have worried but here this is fuel leaking from fuel tank. small burst of fire or spark inside or outside the car can be very dangerous. even the leaking fuel mite get ignited while the car is traveling for a longer period in summer due to heat. *tr | |||
