The gas tank on my 1998 Monte Carlo has rusted through, I have checked at NHTSA web site and this seems to be a defective problem, I have also check at a junk yard and this was also the case the gas tank was runted through. I made complaint to Chevy but was told car to old and warrenty had run out, I feel this is a real big problem and very dangerous for all the people driving thses cars should they every be in an accident it would proably go up in flames this is something that should be looked into before lives are lost.
