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.

There's been a fuel leak from the fuel rail sensor after the recall was performed. It is concerning that nissan would not cover the cost of this leak even though they say they performed the recall and repair the problem they did not replace the fuel sensor gasket when doing so which I believe caused the current leak. This seems to be a reoccurring problem and feel nissan should take care of such a risky fuel problem just above the starter that could cause a spark.

Starting approximately 12/1/2014, we began to notice a strong smell of gasoline in the passenger compartment within minutes of starting the vehicle. The smell would diminish as the car warmed up, but would not go away completely. We contacted the local dealer service dept., and were told there was a recall on this issue. Upon taking the car in to be serviced, they confirmed the fuel leak was from the fuel rail pressure sensor, which is the precise problem which prompted the recall campaign. On further investigation, they determined the recall service (technical bulletin reference ntb12-021b) had already been performed on this VIN, and nissan would not cover the repair at this point. Nissan's recall campaign id# is r1201, the federal safety agency#12v‑069. It appears, at least in this case, the recall service was ineffective in correcting or preventing the fuel leak issue, making it possible that all affected vehicles may still be prone to this fuel leak problem . Nissan customer relations further stated they did not consider an engine compartment fuel leak to be a safety issue. I strongly believe an "increased risk of a fire" is a safety issue and nissan should still be liable to correct an inherent safety vulnerability in their vehicles.

Smelling fuel in the cab while driving, noticed fuel leaking. Nissan service examined it and said it was the fuel pressure sensor. The same thing that was recalled before. Very serious issue in my opinion. Nissan service said it was no longer in warranty and no longer a recall.

Vehicle involved: 2011 nissan juke sl and has 4,192 miles on the odometer. While driving down the highway, we ran over some debris which punctured the gas tank, causing all of the gas to begin pouring out of the tank. We had just filled up the 11.8 gallon fuel tank and had no idea the fuel was leaking until we pulled into the driveway approx. Five miles later. We called the fire dept. For fear of the car exploding in the driveway. The firefighters were shocked there was nothing protecting the fuel tank from road debris bouncing up and punching a hole into it. I feel this is a manufacturers defect. The gas tank shouldn't be sitting out so exposed. Nissan had a similar problem with the murano for which they ordered a safety recall to address this problem. They should do the same with the juke. The local dealership and nissan corporation has shown not a care for what happened to my wife and I, claiming it's not their fault we ran over something in the road. The reality is some things are unavoidable to run over and the gas tank shouldn't be so easily ruptured and positioned with no type of protective plate in the way. The repair bill was $863.04 to put in a new gas tank. My wife is now terrified of driving the car for fear of being blown up and wants to get rid of it.
