FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
SINCE PURCHASING CAR. THERE HAS BEEN A STRONG SMELL OF GAS BOTH OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE CAR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AFTER FINDING OUT ABOUT THE FUEL FILLER RECALL. THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. AFTER PICKING UP THE CAR, WE COULD STILL SMELL THE GAS, BUT ONLY IN THE FRONT AND SOMETIMES INSIDE THE CABIN. WE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD US THEY FIXED THE CAR, AND TO BRING IT IN TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT, WITH AN ADDITIONAL COST TO US. BEING THAT THE DEALERSHIP PRICES ARE HIGH, WE TOOK OUR CAR TO TWO SEPERATE MECHANICS, BOTH OF WHOM TOLD US THAT THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE LEAKING AND THAT THERE WAS A CAMPAIGN IN 1995 FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM WHICH IS VERY, VERY HARD TO FIND TO LOOK UP ON THE INTERNET. ALSO, NISSAN DID NOT TELL US OF THIS PROBLEM. DT

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
THE CAR HAS A STRONG VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THE NOISE STARTED AS A MILD THUMPING FEEL IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. WE FIRST REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH WE PURCHASED THE CAR. THE REPORT WAS MADE IN JUNE 2001. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ROTORS WERE GLAZED AT 8000 MILES AND THAT A CHARGE OF $120 WAS REQUIRED. WE STRONGLY DISAGREED WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS. FOR THE MOST PART WE DROVE THE CAR LOCALLY BELOW 40 MPH. AS WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY AT 50-65 MPH THE VIBRATION HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND ARE GETTING WORSE THE MORE THE CAR IS DRIVEN. AFTER READING SIMILAR NHTSA COMPLAINTS THAT DESCRIBED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM MY CONCERNS HEIGHTENED SINCE MY WIFE USES THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT OUR YOUNG CHILDREN. MR
