Yankee air freshener ruined my stang
So I had a Yankee air freshener in my car I guess it melted from the sun and the gel dripped only car it actually ate away at the middle part of my car. I just bought my car like 4 months ago it's a 2011 g/b mustang. I baby my car I'm sick over this so take my advice don't buy these.

First one, second one... there's sporadic mention from 2006 on up to this year. I'd hazard a guess that they're having a 98% moment with these things (i.e. 98% of them don't leak) and the 2% that do are random mis-manufactured or such.
Still, though, you'll want to sic 'em. Maybe the other reports would be of help, if you were to point them out.
/small packages with things inside them will leak or explode in cars. It gets hot. Hot=pressure=leak/explode.
//I don't know why Yankee would even make such a dumb thing.

I'm sorry to hear they did nothing for you. Hopefully I get somewhere. This has happened so many times I'm surprised they continue selling the product.
