I called the dealer about the recall and they said to bring it by , I did and they said we should have it done in about 5 weeks,to hell with that I said, if it ketches on fire so be it.....:blob2:

Sounds like you need a new dealer. 5 weeks to replace a gas tank? Something isnt right there. The least he could do is ask for your # and give you a call when he has time or gets the parts in.
