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.

Extend the fuel pressure sensor recall.... I have a strong gasoline smell in cabin. While car is [parked or driving] and engine is running, the air conditioning and/or heat is on a extremely strong gasoline smell fills the cabin and can suffocate you and your passengers. Worst when air is coming in from outside and not reusing the cabins air. Mechanic couldn't find any leaks and told me about a recall on jukes. My juke is not apart of the recall and is having the same problems as the fuel pressure sensor recall because of improper tightening. There are many complaints on forums online with people not being on the recall that have this problem.

I purchased a used 2011 nissan juke from a nissan dealership. At first I had trouble filling up the tank. I brought it back to the dealer I purchased it from and they found a plastic piece from a plastic gas can stuck in the tank. From the moment I purchased the car, whenever I fill it with gas, my car, clothes, garage and first level of my home smells like gas. I looked on the internet and found there was a recall for this issue in 2012. I believe that whomever serviced the car for the 2012 recall did not do it properly. For the past week and a half I've been in contact with nissan customer service who either disconnect me, give me incorrect information or don't return my phone calls when promised. I was told a supervisor would get back in touch with me in four to eight hours. They called me back three days later. I feel like my car is a death trap. I'm afraid to park it in my garage for fear that when I use my electric garage door opener, they're will be a spark and my entire condo will explode. I'm afraid to drive it for fear someone will toss a lit cigarette and the car will catch fire with me in it. I've had more migraines since I've purchased the car than I've had in 30 years. When I mentioned the problem to the nissan dealer whom I bought the car from, I was told I needed a new gas tank cover. I've bought three of them with no improvement.
