I have a gas leak as described in the federal safety agency campaign # 95v244000. Recall date was 12/15/95. I took my 1990 nissan maxima to the dealer repair and was told that there was no open recall on my VIN even though I had a print out of the recall from your web site. This could present a fire hazard.
My fuel injectors are terrible. Car has no acceleration and smells of gasoline. My mechanic said that one injector was dead at idol.
While fueling gasoline it splashed back from the filler neck onto the ground. Consumer was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer for inspection, and mechanic determined that the filler neck hose needed to be replaced.
Nissan maxima 1990: recall inspection was done ~1999 regarding possible defective gasolie filler pipe (campaign#95v244000). Since then, small leaks after top off, and now getting worse. It poured out for 2-3 min last time I filled the tank. I called nissanusa at gardena,ca for permission to respect and the lady twho answered the phone refused to grant it. I am a little afraid to drive the car now; try my best not to. I would like to ask you to help me get permission to have a free inspection at my local dealership. Thanks for a reply. Sincerely paul chan [email protected].
The federal safety agency campaign number: 95v244000.the car was recalled 1999, but has been since leaking gas sporadically after top-off or fill ups, now getting worse.

To me, the car is hazardous to drive.
