car trouble

Today I get get out of school and start my car it runs for a sec and dies....i thought weird try it again and same thing happens afer 20 mins of this....I call my mom and have her pick me up. Call the dealership and luckily i'm still under warranty and I called the towing company and they said they'll charge extra if it's lowered and it's a difficult for the driver to load it. My mom doesn't know my car's lowered and gets mad and to shut her up I said i'd pay for the extra charge. When I get there with my dad the driver arrives a few minutes later (amazing!!) so he lowers the ramp and I thought it was going to rip my front lip off..but amazingly it gets under and no extra charge. Now i'm have to bum my mom for a ride and wait for my baby to get well....

Sorry to hear that about your ride... I know how it feels, my ride is at the dealership shop waiting for a speedometer part (under warranty).

BTW, how did your gas tank get damaged? Are you riding that low?

what do you mean by damaged, the tank has a hole in it? Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot to damage down there evcept for maybe the fuel pump or sensor, but I would think that type of failure would be covered under warrenty

what??? I've never heard of that before... Take it somewhere else. That's too much money for a gas tank replacement.

Maybe because it was lowered gas tank bumped something and got bent, and damaged fuel pump in the process? That may explain $$$ and it not being covered under warranty...
