I had my factory gas tank replaced at some point due to a broke baffle, it appears I broke the same part again! If that is indeed true, how is that possible. Has anyone else run into the same problem? I don't remember when I replaced mine, but it's got to be in 2012/2013 when my car was still under warranty. That was only like 10K miles ago!!!!

That's a new one on me; unless you're using premium gas/w ethanol,,,it could be corroding the inside of your tank.
That gas start breaking down pretty quick. I have 65k on my 11' & it sits in wet weather/ but i only use Ethanol Free 93 octane.
