Gasoline has been leaking from the gas tube on my 2001 nissan pathfinder for two years. I contacted the dealer several months ago and asked them about the recall. They knew nothing about it. I then notified them of the recall and directed to the website. I'm tired of the smell of gasoline, gas on my driveway and lawn and polluting my lake. I want to know when I will receive a recall notice and repair. We have waited long enough for nissan to act and ignore the federal safety agency recall and ignore potential hazards to nissan vehicle owners.

On september 12,2007 nissan posted a recall on 2001 nissan pathfinders. My vehicle which should be part of the recall was denied by nissan because my vehicles VIN#s were not part of their recall. I beg to differ. I purchased my vehicle in june 06 in lou,ky. The recall states that if they are currently registered in certain states and ky is one of those then I'm entitled to the recall. I have contacted nissan and they denied my request. I do not know what will happen to the fuel tube or if by chance it will cause a fire or some serious injury to myself or others. I know I'm being mistreated by nissan and I would like this to be corrected if possible. I want nissan to own up to its recall and take care of business. After all they recalled the vehicle.

When fueling, gas tank over fills and spills gasoline onto side of vehicle and ground. This is serious potential fire hazard automatic fuel shut off not properly working. If fuel shut off works, gas gauge shows. Gas amount to be slightly above 3/4 full. When attempting to fully fuel tank to have gas gauge show "f" then gasoline will over flow. Only recourse now is to drive with 3/4 tank full in order to prevent fuel spills. Took it to dealer. Dealer indicated this is normal for frontiers and nothing is wrong. Dt
