Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“2 fuel injectors leaking gas onto engine. I have checked and there are at least 30 similar complaints on 1990 - 1992 Nissan stanzas. What does it take to initiate a recal. Several of these have resulted in fires. The dealer would not tell me if any other models use the same injector, or I would have checked them as well. This is a very volitile safety issue with gasoline leaking on a hot engine. I think something should be done.”
NHTSA complaint #711947, filed 1999-09“While driving the smell of gas is noticed throughout the inside of the car. Took it in to have it checked out and was told that the 2 fuel injectors are leaking, and that Nissan has been having problems with its fuel injectors in the Stanza and maxima models. I do not see a recall for this problem, but seems like it's an ongoing problem for Nissan. This is an expensive problem to fix and if not fixed renders the car dangerous and fire-prone.”
NHTSA complaint #717478, filed 2000-01“The consumer has been experiencing problems with fuel injection system. While driving they could smell gasoline very heavy. When they took vehicle to the mechanic, they said that there was a leak in the fuel injection system. The manufacturer has yet to be contacted.”
