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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OIL FILTER AND OIL CHANGE DONE AT HOME. PURCHASED A BOSCH OIL FILTER FROM AUTOZONE IN PONCHATUOLA, LA. THE DEALER IS SAYING THE FILTER CAUSED THE ENGINE DAMAGE, THEREFORE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. AUTOZONE WANTS THE FILTER BACK FOR INSPECTION BUT HAS NOT INVOLVED BOSCH. IF I LET THE FILTER GO THROUGH THE MAIL TO AUTOZONE AND THEY LOOSE IT I AM WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY ANY CLAIM. I STILL FEEL MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. I EVEN PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE. THE AUTOZONE INSURANCE PERSON I SPOKE WITH STATES THE ENGINE HAD TO HAVE TOO MUCH PRESSURE TO CAUSE THE OIL FILTER FAILURE IF IT ACTUALLY DID FAIL. I'M LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE, A VERY LARGE NOTE, AND TOO MUCH STRESS TO COUNT.*AK

TIRES:SIDEWALL
I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS. I HAVE DIGITAL IMAGES OF THE TIRE AND WILL SEND THEM UPON REQUEST. THE FAILURE WAS SIDEWALL BLOWOUT, NOT RESULT OF RUNNING OVER SOMETHING. I'M CONCERNED THAT THESE TIRES ARE ALL IN DANGER OF FAILURE. THE LOOK OF THE BLOW-OUT SUGGESTS SEPARATION OF MATERIAL.*AK (DOT NUMBER: W2VFNNA069 TIRESIZE: P215/65R15)
