TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1991 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRAPS CONNECTED TO THE FUEL TANK FRACTURED BECAUSE OF CORROSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE FILLER CAP ASSEMBLY WAS CORRODED AND THAT THE MUFFLER COULD NOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE FUEL LEAK CAUSED BY THE CORROSION FROM THE TANK ASSEMBLY. THE MECHANIC REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 95V244000 (FUEL SYSTEM), BUT THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. IN ADDITION, THE ODOMETER WAS INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DEALER PERFORMED RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 95V244000. A FEW YEARS LATER THE GAS FILLER TUBE IS STILL LEAKING GAS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WARRANTY PRIOR RECALL WORK. CAN THE DEALER REFUSE TO FIX IT A SECOND TIME ? SHOULDN'T THEY FIX IT TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING AGAIN. THANK YOU . *TR

MY FUEL TANK FAILED TWICE WITHOUT MONTHS. THE DEALER NEVER INDICATED ANY RECALLS ON ANY NISSAN MAXIMAS, INCLUDING RECALLS FROM OTHER PLANTS. I ALSO SMELLED GAS AND DISCOVERED A GAS LEAK. EVERY MONTH I PAY OVER 1K IN REPAIRS. THIS BEGAN FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PURCHASE. I WAS INFORMED BY KELLY KEAN THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT EVEN OFFER TO FIX. THIS IS MY SECOND NISSAN AND I KNOW THAT THEY ARE RELIABLE, BUT THIS NISSAN MAXIMA WAS A LEMON ESPECIALLY WITH FUEL TANK PROBLEMS. *AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
