TRUCK STARTED DYING RANDOMLY. FINALLY IT DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE TRUCK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH HAVING NO FUEL PRESSURE. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE TRUCK (NTB04-062C) THAT COULD CAUSE THE FUEL PUMP TO STOP WORKING. I VERIFIED WITH NISSAN OVER THE PHONE THAT THE TRUCK WAS DEFINITELY INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP (SOUTHLAKE NISSAN IN MERRILLVILLE, IN). AFTER KEEPING THE TRUCK THERE FOR A WEEK AND TELLING ME THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT PERFORM THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RUNNING. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED HOME TODAY. THIS RECALL IS SPECIFICALLY FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN TO CAUSE A NO START CONDITION. HOW CAN I GET THE RECALL PERFORMED IF THEY WILL NOT WORK ON IT IF IT WON'T START? I NOW HAVE PAID OVER $300 IN TOWING CHARGES AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY WORK DONE.

I HAVE A 1999 NISSAN FRONTIER XE KING CAB 4WD WITH A 3.3L ENGINE. THE MIDDLE SPRING ON THE RIGHT REAR LEAF SPRING BROKE AND THE FORWARD PORTION (STILL ATTACHED VIA A "RIVET" TO THE OTHER TWO) PIVOTED AND UNBEKNOWST TO ME WORE A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK. I ONLY NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHEN I FILLED UP THE TANK AND NOTICED A STRONG ODOR. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND WHEN I TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR THIS I WILL NOTIFY THEM OF THIS OTHER PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE LEAF SPRING BREAKING; HOWEVER, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THERE NOT BEING SOME SORT OF "CLIP" TO PREVENT THE BROKEN PIECE FROM RUBBING AGAINST THE FUEL TANK.

MY FUEL PUMP IN MY NISSAN FRONTIER (1999 V6 4X4) FAILED AS A RESULT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE PLASTIC COMPONENT (FUEL SENDING) THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE PUMP SHORTING OUT. ACCORDING TO A THREAD AT HTTP://WWW.VOY.COM/14174/7/21669.HTML THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIERS AND XTERRA'S WHICH SHARE THESE COMPONENTS.*AK
