What owners say
While driving the smell of gas is noticed throughout the inside of the car. Took it in to have it checked out and was told that the 2 fuel injectors are leaking, and that nissan has been having problems with its fuel injectors in the stanza and maxima models. I do not see a recall for this problem, but seems like it's an ongoing problem for nissan. This is an expensive problem to fix and if not fixed renders the car dangerous and fire-prone.
Strong fuel fumes in passenger compartment at any speeds
Fuel injector is cracked, causing the fumes to leak out and get into vehicle. Gas smell is very strong.
When vehicle is being driven there is a smell of fuel in the passenger's compartment because the fuel injection system is leaking. Dealer has not seen.
