“There is a leak from the top of my 1997 Nissan 240SX's fuel tank that seemed to spring up for no apparent reason. From what I've researched, this is not an uncommon problem for owners of this vehicle and is not easily fixed. I am petitioning for this to be a mandatory repair for Nissan, as this is a major safety hazard due to faulty construction and materials.”
