Nissan Quest fuel smell problems

The air bag light glitches on the dashboard, it turns on and off. The only windows that open are the front door windows, the back side windows could barely crack open && the temperature inside the vehicle "with the windows open" reach dangerously high temperatures that literally are harmful and dangerous. A family vehicle with no ability to open any window on the 2 sliding doors, can lead to very high temperatures even though the front 2 windows open is still not enough for air to reach passengers who sit in the middle-row especially passengers who sit on the 3rd row seat in the back of the van. A recall must be done to adjust the windows on both sliding doors on each side to be able to roll down the windows... The temperature trapped inside the vehicle[passengers and seats area] with all the windows open was of 99, on a regular sunny day.... We drove to where we had to go and no type of air would reach the back seats where my daughter was sitting... She began to have problems breathing and was sweating so much.. I keep her hydrated especially when we have to drive far because the AC doesnt work and we cant roll any window in the back down sin e they dont roll down... When iturn on the AC the smell of gasoline begins to come out through the vents... My car wasnt included in any recall u had before which my car nissan quest sv 2004 clearly shouldve been included for the airbag recall....

This is for a 2008 nissan quest, but the complain is very similar to the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v003000. I was driving on the freeway going home, and as soon as I enter the garage and get off the vehicle, there is a very strong smell of gas. I knee down and saw that there is a stream of liquid coming out from the bottom of the vehicle, immediately, I put the vehicle out of the garage and park in the street instead, call nissan roadside assistance immediately and they help to call 911 to have fire department come out and put a temp fix to stop the leak. The vehicle was then tow to closest nissan dealership immediately. Based on what I read from the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v003000, due to the location of the forward edge of the fuel tank, in the event that a vehicle front tire runs over a small, sharp object in the road, catches it and propels it towards the rear of the vehicle, it may strike and puncture the fuel tank, and I think this is what happen. The fuel tank is made of plastic and is expose outside without any shield protection from the front which is similar to the nissan murano, I don't understand why nissan recall to put a shield for murano and not the quest. For now, nissan has not agreed yet to cover the damage.

Fuel lines to fuel injectors deteriorate, leak raw gasoline onto motor, strong gas odor in passenger compartment. Very expensive to fix, very difficult to access for dyers - not covered in repair manuals 'how-to'.

Shortly after purchasing vehilce gas smell was present, each time vehicle was taken in for complaint dealership was unable to denote gas smell. This vehicle was purchased may 1998. The recalled on the vehicle was in 1996. I am the second purchaser and was never notified of the recall. The vehicle started losing power and I was told that the timing chain was going out on the vehicle and it would be expense to repair. I was advise to replace when it when completely out. On november 2004 while driving alone the vehicle went completely out and had to tow to a garage. I was told that the crank shaft of the vehicle has dissentrated . I was told that nissan should repair it because it was a lifetime part and a factory recall on the vehicle in 1996. The nissan dealership was notified a advised me to bring the vehicle in and they would make the necessary repairs. They repaired the vent hose that had been iinstalled incorrectly and refused to repair the crank shaft problem. The estimate from nissian was $4000.00. I still owe $10,00.00 on this vehile.
