Nissan maxima 1990: recall inspection was done ~1999 regarding possible defective gasolie filler pipe (campaign#95v244000). Since then, small leaks after top off, and now getting worse. It poured out for 2-3 min last time i filled the tank. I called nissanusa at gardena,ca for permission to respect and the lady twho answered the phone refused to grant it. I am a little afraid to drive the car now; try my best not to. I would like to ask you to help me get permission to have a free inspection at my local dealership. Thanks for a reply. Sincerely paul chan [email protected]. *ak
