Dt: for the past year smelled gas. Been took to dealer for this problem several times. Done repairs to hoses,exhaust, etc. Later discovered this was an issue with the fuel injection. System. When air conditioner was on high the smell was evident. Also, this was present in the morning when the car was started for the first 5 minutes. Took to service dealer, and found no leaks, but did perform smoke test and numerous inspections, but was unable to locate this problem. Also, is was present when is defrost was turned on. Gas smell iwasstronger when accelerating about 25 MPH or so in stop or go traffic.

What 1994 Nissan Maxima owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
While driving 60 MPH, the sunroof exploded. The dealership mechanic repaired the problem once, but the problem recurred. Please provide any additional information.
Power window regulator failed. Had to replace every one of the 4 windows.
Power window - regulator arm broke, heater & A/C - cabin fan only runs on high speed
Fuel injector failed.
Three of four original equipment window regulators have failed in the car. The dealer indicated that it was a known problem with the model year. The dealer indicated that the high pressure fuel line was not a very good design as well. They indicated that the heat from the motor caused the rubber to break down, and that's why strong fuel odors could be detected when using the defrost on cold mornings.
Plastic parts on window regular failed causing window to fall inside door, car has a strong fuel smell when ideling especially in cooler months,bumped console gear shift while driving and pushed car out of gear (2), car sometimes hesitates when put in gear or lunges when put in gear, truck latch catches and must be manually reset to work.
Power door lock actuator failed locking consumer out of vehicle while running.
Transmission repairs $2057, windows $217 each, solenoid $452
This is a major defect. This happened to 3 out of 4 windows. I had an extended warranty at the time of the first window failing...but was told this was not covered under the warranty. My local dealer, petro automotive, did state that they were constantly repairing power windows with this defective plastic roller...the roller is not expensive but you must replace the whole motor. The consumer is stuck for an expensive replacement motor and the danger of a window falling during driving speeds up to 70 MPH. I believe if you audit nissan dealers on the number of repairs they make to the power windows you will find a substancial amount of repair which would warrant a recall at the expense of the nissan dealers. Thank you for your help on this matter.
