Fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly
- What is wrong
- Vehicle description: minivans. The fuel tank vent hose allows air to vent from the fuel tank during refueling. Cracks have developed in the vent hose. If (1) the fuel tank is overfilled, not allowing excess fuel in the vent hose to flow back into the tank, (2) the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and, (3) there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel.
- Risk
- Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the vent hose.

Brake lights and tail lights fail to come on and dash lights have also failed,dealer states vehicle not covered under recall 96v253004 . Several other complains about this from different manufacturing dates and VIN#. Seems to be more universal than previously thought. Hoping nissan can resolve.

Exhaust manifold is there a recall on this because I took it to midas and he said that he has being these van with this problem where the bolts broken into the manifold exhaust. I want do this suppose to happen and do the company no of this. So can you tell me if there are a recall on these vans. If so, can you let me know.
Clunk noise while making left (slow) turn. 3 left turns later, rt wheel separated from suspension, and car skidded to stop. Lower rt ball joint had broken and inner cv joint had separated. Damage to rt fender when tire hit car frame. Very fortunate only traveling ~ 7mph when wheel broke loose otherwise the lost of control would have been very dangerous. Examination of ball joint showed damaged 'boot' and lost of all grease. Car gets regular state safety checks and was in for timing belt replacement and overall checkout last year.
Dt: consumer states brake lights not working properly. Took vehicle to the shop, metal tube that separates from housing was defective. No lights came on. Put in new brake switch, new fuses, and bulbs.
Oil pressure build up which was causing the gasoline to leak from the fuel line, and a strong fuel odor came into the cabin. The fuel tank hose was replaced, but the problem recurred.
