CONSUMER COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. CONSUMER WAS PURCHASING MORE GAS, BUT NOT GETTING MILEAGE. TOOK TO DEALER ,AND THEY SAID IT WAS FUEL INJECTORS. THEY WERE LEAKING GAS ON ENGINE.*AK
VEHICLE BROUGHT TO STAR NISSAN FOR 9/29/00 INSPECTION OF GAS SMELL. MR. JOHN CHOE GAVE WRITTEN REPAIR ESTIMATE. INFORMED BY MR. CHOE THAT GAS LEAK WAS DANGEROUS, AND ALL (4) INJECTORS AND SEALS MUST BE REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. SAME FOR REAR ENGINE MOUNT. *AK
FUEL POURED OUT OF VEHICLE DUE TO FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FAILURE. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *AK
WHILE DRIVING THE SMELL OF GAS IS NOTICED THROUGHOUT THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT THE 2 FUEL INJECTORS ARE LEAKING, AND THAT NISSAN HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ITS FUEL INJECTORS IN THE STANZA AND MAXIMA MODELS. I DO NOT SEE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT SEEMS LIKE IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR NISSAN. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO FIX AND IF NOT FIXED RENDERS THE CAR DANGEROUS AND FIRE-PRONE. *AK
FUEL INJECTOR FAILED, CAUSING A FUEL LEAK. *AK
2 FUEL INJECTORS LEAKING GAS ONTO ENGINE. I HAVE CHECKED AND THERE ARE AT LEAST 30 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON 1990 - 1992 NISSAN STANZAS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO INITIATE A RECAL. SEVERAL OF THESE HAVE RESULTED IN FIRES. THE DEALER WOULD NOT TELL ME IF ANY OTHER MODELS USE THE SAME INJECTOR, OR I WOULD HAVE CHECKED THEM AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY VOLITILE SAFETY ISSUE WITH GASOLINE LEAKING ON A HOT ENGINE. I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
FUEL INJECTORS WERE LEAKING GASOLINE ONTO THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT OWNER'S COST. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
STRONG FUEL FUMES IN PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AT ANY SPEEDS
2 INJECTORS HAVE FAILED, O-RINGS REPLACED AND STILL SMELL GAS IN THE VEHICLE
FUEL INJECTOR IS CRACKED, CAUSING THE FUMES TO LEAK OUT AND GET INTO VEHICLE. GAS SMELL IS VERY STRONG. *AK
WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN THERE IS A SMELL OF FUEL IN THE PASSENGER'S COMPARTMENT BECAUSE THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM IS LEAKING. DEALER HAS NOT SEEN. *AK
THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. WHILE DRIVING THEY COULD SMELL GASOLINE VERY HEAVY. WHEN THEY TOOK VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAS YET TO BE CONTACTED. *AK
FUEL HOSE LEAK, CAUSING FIRE.
