| The interior of van would fill with a gas odor. it also had a gas leak when the tank was filled. i had it checked out at the dealer and they informed me that it was related to a manufacturer's recall of the fuel filler vent hose. they repaired it and replaced the vent hose, but the odor continued. i took it back for a second time but the dealer could not find anything wrong with it. the gas odor would come on mainly when the a/c was on. i contacted customer service at the dealer and all they could tell me is that they could not find anything wrong. 1 year later after living with this gas odor my van exploded and the entire engine burned. i've called nissan and all they can tell me is that the vehicle is not under warranty anymore and the fire is not related to the recall because it was only the vent hose. | |||
