| Defect Summary | On certain vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, kentucky, massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, tennessee, vermont, virginia, west virginia , wisconsin and the district of columbia, during the coating process of the fuel filler tube assembly, an insufficient amount of coating may have been applied at the lower mounting bracket. this could result in an opening in the coating which can allow water to enter and make contact with the bare metal of the tube. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This may result in surface rust but not perforation of the tube. however, in those areas of the country which use heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter, if a mixture of snow/water and salt makes contact with the bare metal, corrosion may occur to a degree which results in perforation of the tube. in this case fuel leakage may occur when filling the tank. fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the fuel filler tube assembly with a new one with an improved coating process. the recall began on november 26, 2007. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261. | |||||||||||||||

| Gas pedal sticks, will not push down. must step on it hard and it jerks your vehicle and accelerates fast. can cause an accident when at red light by either rear ending the person in front of you or not being able to step on the gas to get your vehicle moving when vehicles are behind you. causes you to be stopped in the middle on the highway. can not remember exactly when it started but is getting worse. gas gauge also quit working. service station says it could be very expensive to fix. have to judge gas on mileage used. *tr | |||
