FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY
LAST FALL WE SMELLED GAS. WE TOOK THE CAR IN AND HAD THE OVERFLOW HOSE REPLACED. LATER, IN THE SPRING, THAT PART WAS RECALLED. AGAIN, THIS WEEK, WE SMELLED GAS. WE TOOK THE CAR AND HAD THE RECALL PART PUT IN. THE NEXT DAY WE STILL SMELLED GAS. THEY CALLED ME AND SAID IT WAS ANOTHER FUEL HOSE WHICH IS UNDER THE MANIFOLD. THAT IS TWO FUEL HOSE LEAKS IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THAT IS SCARY. WHAT IF I DIDN'T HAVE $228 TO REPLACE IT? THIS IS A HUGE FIRE HAZARD. I AM BECOMING SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *AK

CHILD SEAT:RETRACTOR
OUR QUEST COMES EQUIPPED WITH BUILT-IN, FOLD DOWN CHILD SEATS IN THE SECOND ROW. HOWEVER, THE SAFETY BELTS FOR THESE SEATS (SIMILAR IN CONFIGURATION TO A REGULAR CARSEAT, THUS SECURING THE SHOULDERS, CHEST AND ABDOMEN) RETRACT SO SEVERELY THAT EVERY CHILD I'VE SAT IN THE SEATS COMPLAINS THAT IT'S "TOO TIGHT." AND IT IS. WHEN I GO TO PULL THE STRAPS LOOSE I HAVE TO TRY SEVERAL TIMES TO DISENGAGE THE LOCKING DEVISE IT SEEMS TO HAVE. THIS IS SCARY FOR THE CHILD, WHO IS TRULY BEING SQUEEZED AND WOULD BE TERRIFYING IN AN ACCIDENT IF REMOVING THE CHILD FROM THE SIT WAS AN URGENT MATTER. WHEN THE STRAPS LOCK MY SON HAS ALMOST TWISTED HIS ARMS BACKWARDS WHILE I'M TRYING TO RELEASE HIM. THE SEATS ARE VERY HELPFUL TO HAVE, IN THEORY. BUT BECAUSE THE STRAPS LOCK SO TIGHTLY I HESITATE TO USE THEM. RELATEDLY, ADULTS SITTING IN THAT ROW HAVE ALSO COMPLAINED THAT THE ADULT BELT LOCKS INTO A VERY TIGHT POSITION, REQUIRING THEM TO PULL ON THE STRAP SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY LOOSENS A BIT, FOR A WHILE. MY DEALER SAYS NISSAN SERVICE CAN ONLY "CLEAN" THE SEAT BELTS, NOT LOOSEN OR REPLACE THEM. I DO PLAN TO TAKE THE CAR IN TO SHOW THEM THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY DIDN'T SOUND LIKE THEY'D BE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. COMPLAINS. *AK
