| When i bought my car it only had 40000 miles on it so all the injectors are original. all of the injectors are leaking gas all over my engine. we contacted nissan because the fuel injectors are listed as recalled on your website but it is only for the 6 cylinder model. i believe it is also affecting my 4 cylinder as well because they should not be doing this. i have not done anything to affect the performance of the fuel injectors. it seems like a strange coincidence that my fuel injectors are exhibiting the same problems as the 6 cylinder injectors. | |||
