I have read where many nissan maxima owners have had problems with leaks in the fuel filler tube due to rust and corrosion (between '88 and'94). I have also seen that nissan is very selective in deciding which cars are covered based on the VIN. I also see that many have asked for help from a mr. Larry long at the federal safety agency and that's he's been very helpful. I am facing a similar situation now. I know there is a leak in my filler tube, and nissan says my 1992 nissan maxima gxe does not have any outstanding recalls. I bought the car used, and they did not tell me if it had been fixed or not. Is it possible to get this message to mr. Larry long or whomever is working on situations like this? A leak in the fuel filler tube is potentially very serious -- and expensive to fix. Thanks in advance for your help and consideration.

About 5 months ago, I had to fix a problem with a leak in my "filler pipe" (gas). I had discovered the problem while filling my gas tank at a local station. I had previously read the federal safety agency campaign id number : 95v244000 and therefore brought my car in to nissan dealer with the print out of the recall to get the situation fixed. The dealership had my car 2 days and still had not started any work on it... Apparently they contacted nissan who claimed their was no recall on my car. I contacted nissan myself both via email and phone and got the same answer from them... That no recall existed. So I brought my car to my regular repair shop and had the issue fixed. I see the recall is still posted on this website. Do you think I should try and contest this repair with nissan... Or could I even continue to insist there is a recall in existence on my 1992 nissan maxima? I also wanted to point out another problem the dealership & nissan had with my car... They tell me that my VIN is invalid which your site did to, when I tried to submit it. You site claims that "digit" #9 was invalid. Even the dealership read my VIN the same way I do : [xxx], although, I had to submit a zero for an "o" to get the VIN to go through on this website. Digit #9 definitely looks like an "o" on my VIN. Thank you, -[xxx]. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 1992 maxima is leaking fuel near the filler tube. The dealer says the fuel filler tube is corroded and the entire assembly needs replacement. Research shows that the maxima years 89-94 have a recall for the corrosion of the fuel filler tube, but only for certain states (nc is not included). Nissan refuses to pay because they say my VIN is not in their database for the recall, but this is a serious safety issue and I do not see how the registered state of the car affects the recall status. The car has been driven with weather similar to the states listed on the recall.

When gas tank is a quarter or less full, gas fumes are pumped into garage until it reeks of fumes. It smells strong enough to warrent caution with ignition sources and is surely an environmental hazard.
