Our 2006 nissan sentra spills gas out the filler hole when attempting to refill. It has come gushing out spraying me and creating a very hazardous situation with fuel on myself and spilled at the fuel pump. I have done some research and have learned it is not an unusual problem, but one that I feel the manufacturer should take responsibility for. It is very dangerous.

After driving my 2006 nissan sentra 1.8, when you try to restart it within a couple hours it is very hard to start and it is getting more difficult to start. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the fuel pump. The problem got better but now it has returned. Nissan and the dealer are acting as though they do not know what is causing the problem be there are numerous cases reported on the internet concerning the same problem. The dealer wants to chare me $99 to run a test but I am sure they already know, if not they need to check the internet.
I have a nissan 2006 sentra 1.8. When refueling, gas pours back out of the gas tank, even when on empty. Nissan has published a service bulletin about a vent control valve replacement (using a new style vent control valve). I contacted nissan and the parts & labor will total approximately $350 for a serious safety issue such as this; any spark would surely ignite the driver and probably auto; they are unwilling to send me the part at this point & I still can't use the vehicle- this has been happening for approximately 3 weeks.

The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on two separate occasions for identical failures due to the faulty pressure regulator. The manufacturer's fuel pump repair kit was used during the repair on two separate occasions. The failure mileage was 27,207 and current mileage was 53,058. Updated 09/14/09. *lj updated 09/16/09.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan sentra. While the vehicle was idling with a full tank of gas, the pressure in the gas tank forced fuel out of the tank and caused gasoline to leak out. Whenever the contact would place fuel into the vehicle, the gas pump would automatically stop indicating that the tank was full, when in fact it was nearly empty. He then began to notice leaks on his driveway and took the vehicle to the dealer. He was informed that a new gas tank and fuel filter were needed. The vehicle is currently being repaired at the dealer. They covered half of the repair costs. The failure is identical to the federal safety agency campaign id number 05v269000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage) for an earlier model of the same vehicle; however, his VIN was not included in the recall. The current and failure mileages were 131,000.
