| I have a 1993 nissan maxima. while filling my gas tank up in jan 07 i notice a steady stream of gas leaking from the tank. i thought maybe i just over filled it and it happen several times. i took it too several shops and they wanted to charge me more than i can afford. so i don't fill it up anymore and pray each and every time i get in the car. i saw that my car has a recall and took it to the nissan dealer in my area. they saw that the car had a recall but said that they will not fix the car and tried to talk me into buying a new one which is not possible for me right now. i love my car is still runs great, i just don't want to die in it. i'm afraid if i get hit from behind that the car will explode can you help me? i took the car to the dealer 3/26/07 in orlando, fl on colonial dr. thanks in advance. *jb | |||

| Fuel system:fuel injector failure. fuel injectors have failed several times in the recent past. was advised by nissan factory trained mechanic at nissan dealership that the problem is in the wiring harness and that nissan knows about this particular problem and has issued a secret advisory to their service personnel about this possibly being a fire hazard, but have not seen any public information concerning this problem. this problem developed after i took the vehicle to the dealership for a stalling problem that was finally decided to be the ecm module. the ecm module was replaced costing over $1000, but the problem persisted. nissan mechanic then replaced a wire in the wiring harness, and the problem went away for about 2 weeks, but returned. have been advised by independent mechanics that the factory installed harness (ve30de engine) is too close to the rear exhaust manifold, causing wires to fail, and that nissan has a fix for the problem for free, but can't find any information. can you help? *jb | |||
