FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
WHEN FILLING MY 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB SC WITH FUEL, IT CONSISTENTLY OVERFLOWS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, SO I KNOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. EVERY TIME I SET THE AUTOMATIC PUMP ON FULL FLOW, THE SHUTOFF IS NOT IN TIME TO PREVENT GASOLINE FROM OVERFLOWING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THE INTERMEDIATE SETTING ALSO RESULTS IN A FUEL SPILL. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE NOT HAD A FUEL SPILL IS TO SLOW THE PUMP'S SETTING TO THE SLOWEST LEVEL. I HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT ED MARTIN NISSAN IN INDIANAPOLIS, AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEN I WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN WAS REVIEWING THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY SORT OF MEANINGFUL RESPONSE.

SEAT BELTS:FRONT
THE FRONT PASSENGER SEATBELT COULD NOT BE PULLED OUT FOR USAGE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A MONTH SINCE NOTIFYING NISSAN AND NISSAN HAS YET TO CONTACT ME TO STATE THE ARRIVAL OF THE PART--- NISSAN HAS MENTIONED THAT THIS PART IS ON "BACK-ORDER BECAUSE THERE ARE 'MANY' OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT ARE REQUESTING FOR THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART." NISSAN FURTHER STATED THAT ORDERING THE PART "MAKE TAKE MONTHS." NISSAN IS, THEREFORE, AWARE OF THIS SEATBELT DEFECT BUT HAS REFUSED TO OFFER THEIR CONSUMERS A RENTAL FOR THEIR SAFETY WHILE THEY(NISSAN) 'LOCATE' A REPLACEMENT FOR THE DEFECTIVE SEATBELT. FOR THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY, PLEASE NOTIFY THE PUBLIC REGARDING THIS DEFECT IN THE SEATBELT AND CONTACT NISSAN TO ASK THEM TO EXPEDITE THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING THE PART. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND KIND CONSIDERATION. *AK
