“Serviced vehicle due to *check engine light. Ran rough, skipped misfiring. According to the repair bill we received from emerson auto dealers. It appears that the fuel system had corrosion throughout the fuel system and a hole on the top of the fuel tank! All of the fuel lines and injectors and tank had to be replaced. This is a very high risk of fire hazard. Contacted our dealership and was informed that our VIN # had no recalls regarding issues, only some had met the criteria for that year?! This is outrageous. What can be do to help with the cost of these repairs? Thank you”
