I have a 1993 nissan maxima. While filling my gas tank up in jan 07 i notice a steady stream of gas leaking from the tank. I thought maybe i just over filled it and it happen several times. I took it too several shops and they wanted to charge me more than i can afford. So i don't fill it up anymore and pray each and every time i get in the car. I saw that my car has a recall and took it to the nissan dealer in my area. They saw that the car had a recall but said that they will not fix the car and tried to talk me into buying a new one which is not possible for me right now. I love my car is still runs great, i just don't want to die in it. I'm afraid if i get hit from behind that the car will explode can you help me? I took the car to the dealer 3/26/07 in orlando, fl on colonial dr. Thanks in advance. *jb

Fuel system:fuel injector failure. Fuel injectors have failed several times in the recent past. Was advised by nissan factory trained mechanic at nissan dealership that the problem is in the wiring harness and that nissan knows about this particular problem and has issued a "secret" advisory to their service personnel about this possibly being a fire hazard, but have not seen any public information concerning this problem. This problem developed after i took the vehicle to the dealership for a stalling problem that was finally decided to be the ecm module. The ecm module was replaced costing over $1000, but the problem persisted. Nissan mechanic then replaced a wire in the wiring harness, and the problem went away for about 2 weeks, but returned. Have been advised by independent mechanics that the factory installed harness (ve30de engine) is too close to the rear exhaust manifold, causing wires to fail, and that nissan has a fix for the problem for free, but can't find any information. Can you help? *jb

My car was losing power. Car would not start and my radio hasn't worked for the last year. I have had to replace my alternator in my nissan maxima for the third time in approximately 6 years. When i purchased the last alternator on 11/02/05 from advance auto parts. I received a printout that there have been several factory service bulletins produced by nissan to correct charging system problems on maximas. I've called nissan and they have told me that there is no type of recall on this problem. The problems are poor connections: the battery wire may not be able to carry all the current from the alternator to the battery. The symptoms of this include alternator overheating, alternator failure, and electrical power loss. The other problem is poor charge at idle: some maximas do not charge well at idle, even though the alternator is functioning properly. I believe that nissan needs to put these vehicles on a recall notice. *jb

The fiberglass material under the hood caught on fire at high temperature engine operation. The material was old and frayed. And the engine compartment caught fire as a result. I notified nissan and they have been reluctant to help me. They offered to inspect the vehicle at a charge (by phone). When i went to the dealer, they said they didnt want to touch it and that i should take it somewhere else. I asked nissan if there was a known issue with the insulation, or recall info and they replied no. I would like to know if anyone else has had any problems of the sort and if nissan is planning on doing anything!*ak
