What owners say
There is a strong smell of fuel in vehicle, smell gets worse when vehicle is stopping or slowing down. Contacted dealer.
I have a 1990 nissan stanza, which has leaking fuel injectors resulting in a strong gas odor in the car. In reviewing the nissan vehicle owners failed component information on-line, I discovered that others have reported this same problem at about the same mileage that I experienced it-- 85,000 miles. Does nissan plan to recall these vehicles. If not, what do you plan to do about what looks like a structural problem. I look forward to hearing from you. Joan crichlow
