I'm writing about a situation I'm having battling the GIANT
automobile company Nissan. I have a 1998 Nissan Frontier truck and was
driving it monday (3-28) with my 3 year old son riding with me, when I
noticed that I could smell gas fumes. I pulled over soon realized that
my truck was leaking gas. About 1/2 tank in 20 miles. I brought it to
the dealer were they said that the "fuel sending unit" needed to be
replaced (no fault of my own) $1,100 to fix. Nissan will not pay to
repair it because it is past warranty (94,000). This is the good part.
They recalled last june 1999-2003 frontiers with this exact problem.
(NHTSA Recall No. 04V230) so they refuse to repair my 1998. However the
fuel sending unit in the 1998 (the one without the low fuel
warning light is the same one as in the recalled 1999. Nissan
corporation is a waste of time, you will only get there answering
machines and every week the "consumer affairs specialists" shuffle
their accounts around. Its time we hold Nissan accountable and not
allow them to hide behind there phones. They don't seem to get it
that they could have KILLED me and my son, this is a safety issue. My
hope is that no one need die before this is made public.
