NHTSA Complaint #10731119 — 2011 NISSAN JUKE

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 NISSAN JUKE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. AT FIRST I HAD TROUBLE FILLING UP THE TANK. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND A PLASTIC PIECE FROM A PLASTIC GAS CAN STUCK IN THE TANK. FROM THE MOMENT I PURCHASED THE CAR, WHENEVER I FILL IT WITH GAS, MY CAR, CLOTHES, GARAGE AND FIRST LEVEL OF MY HOME SMELLS LIKE GAS. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IN 2012. I BELIEVE THAT WHOMEVER SERVICED THE CAR FOR THE 2012 RECALL DID NOT DO IT PROPERLY. FOR THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF I'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO EITHER DISCONNECT ME, GIVE ME INCORRECT INFORMATION OR DON'T RETURN MY PHONE CALLS WHEN PROMISED. I WAS TOLD A SUPERVISOR WOULD GET BACK IN TOUCH WITH ME IN FOUR TO EIGHT HOURS. THEY CALLED ME BACK THREE DAYS LATER. I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I'M AFRAID TO PARK IT IN MY GARAGE FOR FEAR THAT WHEN I USE MY ELECTRIC GARAGE DOOR OPENER, THEY'RE WILL BE A SPARK AND MY ENTIRE CONDO WILL EXPLODE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR SOMEONE WILL TOSS A LIT CIGARETTE AND THE CAR WILL CATCH FIRE WITH ME IN IT. I'VE HAD MORE MIGRAINES SINCE I'VE PURCHASED THE CAR THAN I'VE HAD IN 30 YEARS. WHEN I MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHOM I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW GAS TANK COVER. I'VE BOUGHT THREE OF THEM WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.
