Tl* the contact owns a 1990 nissan 240sx. The contact received a recall notification for nhtsa campaign number: 95v103002 (seat belts). The contact was experiencing a failure; however, the dealer would not honor the recall and wanted to charge the contact for the repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I have purchased this auto april 20, 2005. I drove it for approximately two weeks. Then an overpowering odor of gasoline emitted in the passenger compartment. Upon inspection of the engine compartment, there was gasoline leaking from the fuel rail. I have had the o-rings and insulators replaced on all four fuel injectors and the leak is still present. It seems that i must now replace the injectors. In checking for possible recalls, i have noticed there were several other complaints made referring to the fuel system on these models, and that nissan would not recall the 240 sx even though the exact same design is used in the four cylinder engine as the six cylinder models that they did recall. !!! Why not the 240 sx, nissan????? I intend to keep all old parts that are replaced.

3 of 4 fuel injectors leaking and fuel regulators needs replacement. *ak

Smelled bad gas odor. Took to repair shop and said 3 out of 4 injectors were leaking, very dangerous. Replaced immediately. Now i am reading about recall # 95i006000--never notified. Will nissan refund or credit me for cost since this was immediate danger problem. Will provide proof of service and cost.*ak

Fuel injector is leaking and could cause a fire. The vehicle has not experienced any problem yet due to leaking fuel injectors. Dealer was notified. *ak *tt

The saftey button on the ignition that you usually has to be pushed in to get the key out keeps getting stuck. Therefore i'm not able to get my key out. The problem has happened about 5 or 6 times already and to resolve it, i have to remove the plate that covers the ignition and button and press it a certain way. I have been stuck at various locations, not being able to leave my car, due to the fact that i can't get my key out. I believe this should fall under the manufacturers responsibility and not the customers. *ak

While driving consumer can smell gas within the vehicle, and all four of fuel injectors have to be replaced. Also, there is a noise coming from the fuel injection system. *ak

Timing chain guide and tensioner failed. Nissan knew about problem and had fix in 2/89 and repaired 89 models, yet continued to put faulty components in 90 models without offering to repair

When getting into the vehicle and trying to use the automatic seat belt, the seat belt will keep getting jammed and the consumer is unable to use the seat belt. *ak
