1987 Nissan Maxima Fuel system Problems

“Re: 1987 Nissan maxim I own 3 of these vehicles. In 2 of them, the pressurized fuel line coming out of the gas tank has failed, allowing strong fuel vapors to enter the passenger compartment. This line is directly under the rear passenger seat and raw fuel also is able to flow under the seat.”

“Vehicle was being operated and then was parked due to fuel leaking. Engine caught on fire, and vehicle was completely destroyed. Fire department determined fuel leak due to faulty fuel line and fuel injection.”

“I was given a recall notice at the time of purchase 6-10-99. I took the car to don davis Nissan two times. Both times they told me they didn't have the parts in stock to repair the defect. They told me to return later. I called them two more times and both times they told me they were too busy and the shop was too full at the time I called. About six months from the time of purchase the rubber fuel lines on the fuel injector hoses caught fire and burned the injectors, injector wires, and other wires on top of the engine. I had the car towed to don davis Nissan. …”

“I kept smelling gas then I knew the injectors had been replaced because I had a starter replaced and tom peacock Nissan ran a check to insure the recall had been performed it was already done so I was convinced the problem was resolved, so about a year later I'm smelling gas me and my father looked under the hood and saw that fuel was leaking from an injector so I called tom peacock Nissan.considering they supposedly fixed the problem concerning injectors failing resulting in fires they said it had already been replaced and their best advice was to pay $915 for all new replacement…”

“1987 Nissan Maxima. The consumer writes in regard to vehicle fire under the hood. The consumer stated while driving, one of the passengers started to smell burning wire. Soon after his wife noticed smoke coming from under the hood. The consumer managed to get to a safe spot and was able to put the fire out. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop where the he was informed the injectors did not want to shut down. The consumer was also informed a recall had been issued for an injector problem and the recall had never been performed.”
