FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL LEAK FROM TOP OF DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK (CORROSION) CONFIRMED BY NISSAN 112 PATCHOGUE, NY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2001 FRONTIERS FOR THE SAME REASON BUT NOT ON THE 2000. I SEE MANY OTHER 2000 FRONTIER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IN MOST CASES NISSAN REPLACED THE TANK FOR NO CHARGE. I AM SEEKING FOR THEM TO DO THE SAME FOR MY VEHICLE OR RECALL THE 2000 FRONTIER FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING 40 MPH AND DID NOT GET ANY WARNING ABOUT THE STALL, MY STEERING DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER AND BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN (1-800-NISSAN1) ABOUT MY INCIDENT AND ASK IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS MADE TO MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSE WITH A FAULTY PUMP AND BURNED ELECTRICAL WIRES. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER $900. I CHECKED WWW.NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE FOR ANY RECALLS, LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT AS PER RECALL CAMPAIGN I.D. # / NHTSA #: R0401 & R0402 / 04V-230 DOCUMENT RCRIT-04V230-8435. THIS RECALL WAS MADE BACK IN JANUARY 23, 2009. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS, I WISH I WAS AND SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE COSTLY REPAIRS.WHEN I CALLED NISSAN BACK I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL RESEARCH MY INCIDENT AND GET BACK TO ME THE NEXT DAY. I AM STILL WAITING. *TR
