What owners say
It says my vehicle has 0 unrepaired recalls, however I've noticed that these vehicles have reported fuel leakage due to faulty seals when the tank is full. I got the car used & I was wondering if I have any chance of getting this issue fixed
Vehicle was in motion, check engine light turned on and the fuel gauge on dashboard started to acting out; I thought my car was leaking gas, but I could not smell it. I thought the problem was electric. I called nissan of huntington to report the problem and making an appointment, but it was too late (3:45pm), so I had to bring my car to centerport automotive. They scanned my car's computer system and: "code po 463 fuel pump sending unit malfunction code". As a result, they replaced the fuel pump and sending unit assembly in fuel tank. My car was 35472 miles at the time this work was done. Had to pay 681.37 dollars + nys sale taxes. I would love to be reimbursed since a fuel pump lasts more than 125,000 miles. Thousands of 2013 nissan sentra cars have a fuel system recall, but not this particular VIN number.
Huge fuel leak (car can catch fire and kill the people) I have huge fuel leak when the engine is running and happen without any notice and I was lucky that car didn't catch fire while driving (note that the vehicle is running only 6000 km that is meaning bad quality car from nissan)
In the fuel pump the wire plug is burned and it makes crack. Because of that gas is leaking.
