The interior of van would fill with a gas odor. It also had a gas leak when the tank was filled. I had it checked out at the dealer and they informed me that it was related to a manufacturer's recall of the fuel filler vent hose. They repaired it and replaced the vent hose, but the odor continued. I took it back for a second time but the dealer could not find anything wrong with it. The gas odor would come on mainly when the A/C was on. I contacted customer service at the dealer and all they could tell me is that they could not find anything wrong. 1 year later after living with this gas odor my van exploded and the entire engine burned. I've called nissan and all they can tell me is that the vehicle is not under warranty anymore and the fire is not related to the recall because it was only the vent hose.

While driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle caught fire without warning. The dealer states the fuel tank was the cause. Please provide additional information.
The federal safety agency#00-v-419-001: 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. Secondly, the vehicle is driven only a short distance after refueling and. Third, there is subsequently significant heating of the fuel tank, the fuel in the tank can expand into the vent hose and leak fuel. Dealer didn't honor this recall due to the VIN, and they charged $200.00 dollars to fix it.
Had gasoline smell for quite a while. The dealer informed me of a recall on a vapor vent hose for my van and replaced it but the gasoline smell never went away. I took it back a second time but the dealer could not find anything. Less then a year and while driving with the same smell of gasoline coming through the A/C my vant caught on fire, and within seconds everything under the hood was engulfed in flames. I called nissan but they tell me the van is no longer under warranty so there is nothing they can do for me.
Engine knock,engine failure, replace corroded throttle body, gas smell leaks into interior, faulty front passenger seat belt restraint,vehicle now has 110,000 miles on it and is in the shop for a new fuel pump. Excessive noise pollution when driving, faulty rear hatch lock(electrical), faulty elect. Pwr. Door locks, locks when not touched. This vehicle is what lemon laws were intended for yet nissan is in denial about all the problems owners have endured with no compensation.
The car hesitates, coughs at intervals like it is miss-firing. A throttle clean, manifold clean and tank filter clean have all been performed and still it jolts and appears for a split second like it is going to stall and die. Started just when stopped or idling now is apparent when driving on highway at highway speed. Problem is unresolved as yet.
Noticed gas smell inside and around vehicle for some time even after the recall fix was done. On date of failure, vehicle was hard to start and engine ran poorly with visible smoke from the exhaust. Gas fumes were extremely strong and gas was visible on injector and engine.
