 Description of the problemMy 1994 corolla wagon developed a leak in the gas tank in september of 2002. I took it to my mechanic (import motors service inc, 303-422-9654, sepp or mike.) and they installed a new fuel tank which carried a warranty of 12,000 miles or 12 months. I was responsible financially for both the part and labor. In april of 2003 the new tank developed a leak in the same area as the original, above the heat shield of the exhaust. Luckily no fire occurred. That second tank was covered by the warranty so i had a third tank put in and it lasted six months before developing a leak in the same area again. I have just had a fourth tank put in and only have 2000 more miles on the original warranty from the first replacement tank, then i will have to pay for a new tank as well as the labor if this one leaks. I was responsible for paying for the labor on the third and fourth tanks. Thankfully import motors gave me a sympathy discount on the last job, but this is getting to be expensive. Toyota has said there is no problem with their tanks when we tried to address it with them over the internet, this is hard to believe. Check out complaints oid id numbers: 878860 and 755159. What is up with toyota's replacement gas tanks and do they pose a fire and seafty risk? Sincerely, edd hamilton
