Check the fuel tank straps on your vehicle. I was driving when the tank fell below my truck opening a 5inch hole letting gas flood out. I was in the market for a new Dodge but, will see if dealership will cover some of the damage. New fuel tank had to be ordered from Detroit. Very expensive repair. I was lucky there was not a fire or explosion from gas dumping on road & vehicle while moving. Again check the fuel tank straps on your vehicle to see if they are about to fail.
