FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TRAVELING DOWN A FOUR LANE ROAD GOING 55 MPH. IT WAS AROUND 10 A.M., SUNNY AND DRY. THERE WAS NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. I HEARD A LOUD "POP" WHICH CAME FROM BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IN FRONT OF BACK TIRE. WE LOOKED FOR DEBRIS ON THE ROAD, SAW NONE. CAR WAS RUNNING FINE. CONTINUED 10 - 15 MORE MILES TO HOME OF FATHER-IN-LAW. STEPPED OUT OF CAR AND SMELLED STRONG GAS FUMES. PROCEEDED AROUND BACK OF CAR TO PASSENGER SIDE. OBSERVED A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE IN FRONT OF REAR PASSENGER TIRE. SLOW, STEADY DRIP WAS COMING FROM BOTTOM OF CAR ABOVE PUDDLE. CAR WAS TOWED TO NISSAN DEALER IN LEXINGTON, KY. THEY REPORTED THE FUEL TANK WAS PUNCTURED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IF YOU LEAVE THE KEY OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND IT IS TOUCHING THE VEHICLE THE PUSH BUTTON IGNITION WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE KEY AND START THE VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL THE KEY MUST BE WITH YOU (INSIDE) IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START. THERE IS NO WARNING STATING OTHERWISE. THIS IS A PERSONAL SECURITY AND SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

SEAT BELTS
ON 7-19-11I TOOK POSSESSION OF A NEW NISSAN ALTIMA AT SARATOGA NISSAN, MALTA, NY. SHORTLY AFTER THAT DATE I NOTICED THAT THE SEAT SELT AUDIBLE WARNING DEVICE WAS NOT WORKING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 8-26-11 FOR REPAIR OF THAT COMPONENT BUT WAS TOLD, IN WRITING, THAT THIS VEHICLE "WAS NOT DESIGNED WITH AN AUDIBLE CHIME". THIS IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE OWNERS MANUAL ON THIS VEHICLE THAT STATES THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AUDIBLE SEAT BELT WARNING "CHIME". ALSO IT APPEARS INCONSISTENT WITH NHTSA NEW VEHICLE STANDARD 571.208, S 7.3. PLEASE ADVISE IF THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH AN AUDIBLE SEAT BELT WARNING REMINDER, OR IF NISSAN HAS BEEN GRANTED AN EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
