Subject:      NHTSA to Investigate EV Fuel Leak Problem!!!

Hi all,

I spoke with a representative from NHTSA this morning and I believe that we
got their attention. Aparently not only my complaint, but others from the
list who have recently filed complaints coupled with some pre-existing
complaints has now moved NHTSA to investigate the fuel leak problem.

I'd like to thank those of you who have already posted complaints on the
NHTSA website....including whoever named me as a "resource" in their
complaint....and to those of you who who haven't filed a complaint, NHTSA
would like your input as well. The process for filing a complaint is
painless, takes about 5 minutes and is well worth it. Go to:
http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/ivoq/default.htm


Keep those cards and letters coming in folks....if you have any further
info about fuel leaks, VW contacts, etc., let me know. I will keep all of
you informed as to anything that happens on this end.
