Hi all, a newbie here. Love my car but had a problem on Friday, can anyone give any info? Seems the gasoline leaked from my tank onto the floor of my garage and warranted the fire dept to clear my vehicle before a tow. Car is now back at the dealer and I am waiting for info from them. Has anyone else had this or any related problems?

I moved your post over to the Mechanical Problems section and as Zodiak said this is not a known issue. When you find out why the gasoline drained out please do a follow-up post. This problem happening in a closed area could result in an explosion.

I see this is first post so let me welcome you to the forumZ. Why not go to the Newbie section and do an introductory post.

Wow, I haven't heard of this. I would bet theres a pinched line or a loose clamp of some sort somewhere...should be a easy fix by your dealer I would hope.

This was from the recall on Tank Assembly....

Sounds like that recall needs to cover more Avengers beside the AWD if that is determine to be what happened to Weableswifeypoo's Avenger.

The solution to your problem is simple, Stop trying to run over your husband. P.S. I hope you removed the body before the Fire dept. came
