NHTSA Complaint #10122096 — 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER

MY 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS SPILLED FUEL EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TANK SINCE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I WONDERED WHY THIS HAD NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY A RECALL SO I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS WEB SITE. I FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 02V300000 AND TO MY SURPRISE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN NOTED AND A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT HE TOLD ME THAT BASED ON THE VEHICLE ID NUMBER MY TRUCK DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. I THEN CALLED NISSAN DIRECTLY TO BE TOLD THE SAME THING. THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL IS IDENTICAL TO WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING AND IT WOULD APPEAR THAT NEITHER THE DEALER NOR NISSAN IS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THANKS, SEAN
