Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Fuel injectors are leaking gas from the injector seals. My brother owns a geo prizm with a toyota motor in it with almost 300,000 miles on it and has never had this problem ever. My Nissan Stanza only has 133,000 on it and I have seen complaints on web forums about 240sx with same ka24e sohc motor having the same problems with less mileage on them. They switched to the ka24de dohc engine in later year Stanza's. I think they also did so on the 240sx too, but not sure which years this happened. …”

“1991 Nissan Stanza fuel injector leakage, timing belt guide breakage, cv joint failure. What will it take for a recall on these leaking fuel injectors, someone's death? This car is a piece of junk!!! My teenage daughter has been driving the car and I am very concerned that this problem is allowed to continue (no recall).”
