What owners say
Dealer performed recall campaign no. 95v244000. A few years later the gas filler tube is still leaking gas. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they said they could not fix it because they do not warranty prior recall work. Can the dealer refuse to fix it a second time ? Shouldn't they fix it to prevent the problem from occurring again. Thank you .
Power steering hose split...replaced part...currently experiencing very loud noise and "burnt" smell coming from power steering pump...when fluid in pump is replaced, the color of the fluid becomes black in no time; also experiencing strong gas fumes inside car esp. When heat or A/C is turned on; front seat belts do not function properly...either too tight or too loose...seat belt light & chime goes on and off all the time; driver's seat has broken...had it repaired; driver's side windows will not go down; sunroof leaks when it rains; hood latch does not allow hood to close properly, while the hydrolics under the hood will not keep the hood up when opened...hood slammed down onto service tech's arm and onto anothers head; sometimes vibrates loud when braking; high-pitch clitter-clatter coming from rt-frt wheel; odometer will not work after several attempts to fix; battery acid drip damage on starter; transmission dis-mounted, had replaced, but currently experiencing oil leakage @ main seal; cv joints, ball bearings, axle, clutch assembly, all replaced at least 3-4 times. Ok...if that's not enough, I don't know what is...I am hoping for some recall info on the fuel leakage and seatbelt issues! I have no fundage left for anymore repairs. My 10 year old son is a frequent passenger in this vehicle...I am seeking any info on how to make this car more safe for us on the roads...until I can afford to purchase another car. (also, car alarm goes off every time doors are locked; and headlights will not brighten, they stay on dim...when switch is clicked at column, headlights completely go out!).
I have a 1991 nissan maxima. It is leaking fuel from the fuel injectors and I am afraid it may catch on fire. Please help me.
My fuel tank failed twice without months. The dealer never indicated any recalls on any nissan maximas, including recalls from other plants. I also smelled gas and discovered a gas leak. Every month I pay over 1k in repairs. This began from the beginning of the purchase. I was informed by kelly kean that this was my problem and they would not even offer to fix. This is my second nissan and I know that they are reliable, but this nissan maxima was a lemon especially with fuel tank problems.

- Risk
- Significant corrosion of the fuel filler tube may result in fuel leaks which in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. In addition, the left rear seat belt retractor is mounted to the wheel housing and in the event of significant corrosion, and the mounting could fail in a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will inspect these vehicles and corrective action will be taken depending upon the extent of the corrosion.
