My vehicle was taken in for original recall repair in november 2018 to charlie clark nissan. Upon pickup of vehicle, I alerted service man of strong smell of gas and he stated it had been repaired but my filters simply needed to be replaced. I had all my filters replaced three times and attempted to take my vehicle to alternate nissan dealerships due to persistent smell of gas but was told since they're are no open campaigns with my VIN. I took my vehicle back to original dealership and have now been told it is indeed leaking fuel as a direct result of the recall but they are unable to cover the costs of the repair due to it already been previously worked on. Vehicle leaks fuel profusely, omits black fumes through exhaust and has issues accelerating. Average fuel usage is 60 miles perfull tank of gas.

Fuel pressue sensor failed after torqued down recall was completed by dealer. Bought my 2011 juke new from dealer. Car has been paid off since 2016. I never received any recall information regarding the fuel pressure sensor until 2018. I was not experiencing any problems with the vehicle. Apon recieving the recall notice in may 2018, I took my vehicle in to the nissan dealership to address recall. I picked up my juke and brought it home. Since I have another vehicle, this one was not my daily driver. I went out once every few days to crank it up. I did notice that there was a fuel smell when I cranked the car. Thought maybe since they torqued the fuel pressure sensor for the recall, maybe somehow fuel had gotten in the engine compartment and would simply burn off. This continued every time I started the car. I decided to take it back to the dealer. Had to tow vehicle 30+ miles because of possible fire or explosion from any ignition source that could occur. I was concerned when the fuel smell did not go away. Service manager called and said it was the fuel pressure sender and that it would need to be replaced. I ask for part number which came back to fuel pressure sensor. He advised me that I would have to pay over $750 dollars for parts and labor. So I authorized him to order the part because they dont keep recall parts on hand. I needed to contact nissan. My question is if there is or has been 3 separate recalls for this part and my vehicle was fine before the 2018 recall repair. Why is the dealer requiring me to pay for the repair? It is my understanding that recalls dont have an expiration date. If a part fails that is a known recalled part throughout nissan vehicles, then why isn't it being replaced for free due to the hazardous nature of not replacing it.
