Purchased a 2005 hyundai santa fe and found afterward that the fuel tank was leaking from inside the plastic shell surrounding it.

Gas tank is corroded and leaking fuel due to road salt because i live in the northeast. I was notified that hyundai has "extended the warranty" on model years 2001-2006 up to 150,000 miles.
