1. THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE LEAKING, SMELL GASOLINE. WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD, I CAN SEE THE GASOLINE SEEPING FROM THE FUEL INJECTORS. I CALLED THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING THE RECALL, THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT COVERED, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL FOR SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM FOR '87 200SX, '84-89 MAXIMA MODELS.
