| I smell gas inside the car, i took it to a shop and they told me the gas tank is all rusted on top, causing the gas to spill out. i called junk yards and all there tanks for the nissan are also corroded. i called nissan and they said there were no recalls. they said it is from living in a salt area. however no other makes or models that i have had ever did this. i was told to take it to a nissan dealer for evaluation. which i did but felt unsafe driving the car. i feel this should be a recall, please help. thanks | |||
