| My car wouldn't start. battery was fine..passengers had recently said that they noticed a fuel smell, but i can't smell (a physical handicap of mine).; called aaa- it was then that we noticed that fuel was leaking out of the top of the gas tank, the fuel pump wire that supplies power to the fuel pump was broken. car had to be towed to a local garage. called nissan dealer and he said 'your car is old, just replace the fuel tank. but, the design of the gas tank is such that there is a 'gully' where water gets trapped on the design of the top of the fuel tank. nissan refuses to admit that this is a design flaw that is causing the top of the fuel tanks to corrode; and this is indeed a safety issue! as a mechanical engineer who specializes in metals, it is definitely a poor design; i have owned and worked on cars my entire life, and have never seen a fuel tank corrode through. all of the local mechanics/garages in my area tell me this is a common problem in nissan frontiers- we fix them all of the time. | |||

| While driving at 55-60 mph the dashboard will go dead and odm go blank. the engine will drop to 30-35 mph, if a hot day here in tx. the car will totally die. took to nissan repair-will have to replace complete wiring harness & all sensors $1,500. or more...warranty does not cover. took to another mechanic- determined it is the wiring cluster from the dash that feeds the computer. because the computer is not receiving mph, the governor takes over and shuts the car down. nissan has not released these parts for sale to the public. mechanic still trying to get response from nissan. nissan will not recall. this happens almost everyday we drive this car. can't afford another car, will have to find away to fix, but nissan is not corporation. *tr | |||
