| I have a 2001 acura mdx that i purchased new. in july, i noticed small drips of oil under the vehicle. upon getting it examined at a local mechanic, i discovered that the gas tank had developed a leak along its seam! i contacted the dealership(acura of tempe) and they said this would not be covered under warranty. i also contacted my insurance company (ameriprise) and they said this would not be covered under comprehensive coverage and to them it appeared to be a manufacturing defect. since the acura dealership had quoted me a cost of repair that was more than 30% higher than my auto shop, i chose to go with the latter. i feel this defect is a manufacturing defect, and could have been a very serious hazard if left untreated. acura should have paid for this repair. i would appreciate your suggestions / feedback: do you know of other complaints along the same lines? note: i have 2 pictures of the gas tank showing the leaks that i can send you if you like. *tr | |||
