My gas tank does not vent properly - the car has a detination problem and has exploded on four occations with a force that rocks the car. i don't want to get in it anymore, nor does my family. it has been in the shop for 25 days. *ak
On two occassions, this 2000 diamante shook violently, belched blue smoke out the exhaust, lost considerable power, filled the interior with hazardous fumes and the service engine light came on. these two life threatening events happened at a little over 4000 miles and 12000 miles. my telephone number is 760-323-0704, your questioaire allows one to view all info before sending but does not allow adding information that one might have missed.*ak
