| I experienced a fire caused by the leakage of a fuel injector on the right side of the engine in my car. i have contacted nissan and have received very poor to put it mildly response from them. they have used a clause in the warranty book requiring me to maintain maintenance records for the life of my car. i have no reason to maintain 11 years of records of oil changes, and this fire was not caused by a warranted part but due to a safety improvement campaign by nissan. they have advised that unless the car is driveable into their dealership they are not required to replace, repair or correct their faulty parts. i cannot get replacement parts from their distributorships to effect this repair as all of these parts are held by dealerships for this campaign. i believe it is time for the nhtsa to review this matter. there are documented in your files fires and explosions generated the same as mine. who has to die before you become interested? check your odi numbers 953919,947955, and 908679 for verif. *ak | |||
