A strong odor of fuel enters the vehicle when the engine is running. It was found that raw fuel was contacting the hot engine creating a very dangerous situation for all in the vehicle. Normal prentative maintenance procedures by me could not see the problem with the fuel rail and fuel line. Due to the design of the vehicle parts of the engine had to be removed to affect removal and replacement of the defective parts. The manufacture was contacted to seek relief (refund) for the cost ($383.22). Nissan has refused to cover any potion of the cost even though a similiar situation by chrysler was paid for by that company. However, there is a bigger problem still remaining, nissan's design with this vehicle component is faulty from my point of view. Since it can not be inspected, repairs can not be affected until a dangerous situation exists (raw fuel leaking onto a hot engine). My desire is to have nissan affect repairs to other vehicle with the same/similar design.
When accelerating I smell strong fuel fumes. It concerns me and I would like to find out how to get it fixed.
