NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 00V419001 CONCERNING FUEL TANK VENT HOSE. WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL DUE TO VIN ALTHOUGH IT EXPERIENCED THE SAME EFFECTS. *AK CONSUMER ADDED WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED MORE THAN HALF WAY, THE GASOLINE SMELL IS PROMINENT. CONSUMER HAS TO DRIVE WITH WINDOW OPEN. *TT

THE INTERIOR OF VAN WOULD FILL WITH A GAS ODOR. IT ALSO HAD A GAS LEAK WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS RELATED TO A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL OF THE FUEL FILLER VENT HOSE. THEY REPAIRED IT AND REPLACED THE VENT HOSE, BUT THE ODOR CONTINUED. I TOOK IT BACK FOR A SECOND TIME BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE GAS ODOR WOULD COME ON MAINLY WHEN THE A/C WAS ON. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE DEALER AND ALL THEY COULD TELL ME IS THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. 1 YEAR LATER AFTER LIVING WITH THIS GAS ODOR MY VAN EXPLODED AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE BURNED. I'VE CALLED NISSAN AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND THE FIRE IS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY THE VENT HOSE.

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS OUEST.I HAVE REPLACED THE HEATER CONTROL,BOTH SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS,REPLACE ACC C/V BOOT,REPLACE ANTENNA MOTOR,REPLACE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT,REPLACE BACK WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR,REPLACE BOTH FRONT LOWER BALL JOINTS AND THE VENT HOSE. THIS ARE JUST THE MAJOR THINGS. I HAVE SPEND AROUND 7000.00 ON THIS QUEST FOR REPAIRS AND UP KEEP. I BROUGHT IT NEW IN MAY OF 1996. NEVER AGAIN.
