1991 Nissan Maxima Fuel System

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1991 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STRAPS CONNECTED TO THE FUEL TANK FRACTURED BECAUSE OF CORROSION AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE FILLER CAP ASSEMBLY WAS CORRODED AND THAT THE MUFFLER COULD NOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE FUEL LEAK CAUSED BY THE CORROSION FROM THE TANK ASSEMBLY. THE MECHANIC REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 95V244000 (FUEL SYSTEM), BUT THE CONTACT WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE RECALL WAS EXPIRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. IN ADDITION, THE ODOMETER WAS INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 1991 NISSAN MAXIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP FOR CONCERNS WITH THE FUEL LINES. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THERE WAS RUST AND CORROSION OF THE TANK, WHICH WOULD NEED REPLACING ALONG WITH THE PIPE FILLER. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 95V244000, (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY: FILLER PIPE AND CAP). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 186,000.

DEALER PERFORMED RECALL CAMPAIGN NO. 95V244000. A FEW YEARS LATER THE GAS FILLER TUBE IS STILL LEAKING GAS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WARRANTY PRIOR RECALL WORK. CAN THE DEALER REFUSE TO FIX IT A SECOND TIME ? SHOULDN'T THEY FIX IT TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING AGAIN. THANK YOU . *TR

FUEL INJECTORS DEFECTIVE, REPLACE MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE MODEL. *AK

WHILE AIR VENT WAS TURNED ON NOTICED FUMES INSIDE VEHICLE. DEALER HAS NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

MY FUEL TANK FAILED TWICE WITHOUT MONTHS. THE DEALER NEVER INDICATED ANY RECALLS ON ANY NISSAN MAXIMAS, INCLUDING RECALLS FROM OTHER PLANTS. I ALSO SMELLED GAS AND DISCOVERED A GAS LEAK. EVERY MONTH I PAY OVER 1K IN REPAIRS. THIS BEGAN FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PURCHASE. I WAS INFORMED BY KELLY KEAN THAT THIS WAS MY PROBLEM AND THEY WOULD NOT EVEN OFFER TO FIX. THIS IS MY SECOND NISSAN AND I KNOW THAT THEY ARE RELIABLE, BUT THIS NISSAN MAXIMA WAS A LEMON ESPECIALLY WITH FUEL TANK PROBLEMS. *AK

FUEL INJECTORS FAILED DUE TO POOR DESIGN.

GAS FUMES INSIDE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *DSH

FUEL TANK RELEASES FUEL ODOR INSIDE VEHICLE DURING COLD WEATHER UNTIL VEHICLE WARMS UP. *SD
