Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2006 Nissan Murano

Tl the contact owned a 2006 Nissan Murano. While driving, the vehicle shook and began to smoke. The vehicle caught fire and flames appeared behind the driver's seat. The contact exited the vehicle as the fuel tank exploded three or four times. There were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed from the scene. Police and fire reports were filed. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The cause of the failure was not determined. The failure mileage was 102,000.

Takara recall fuel guage doesn't work. It is stuck on half tank.

Apparently Nissan is known for problems with their fuel level sensors, but not specifically for Muranos' well maybe it should be, even after I bought the new parts and had them installed with a mechanic, they still do not work or function properly. When I fill up the tank the level sensor doesn't go past a quarter of a tank now, it drops rapidly and I have even now ran out of gas when it says it has gas in there or miles till empty. This is a known problem, maybe it should be fixed.

The fuel lever guage is inconsistent and way off. I put a half tank in and it reads empty.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank leaked and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.

The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

I was traveling on the highway and hit a sharp object. That sharp object punctured my gas tank and the tank began to leak. I called Nissan USA regarding recall number 35779. Nissan said that the tank had been replaced. However, sears told me that the Murano was still using a Nissan tank and should be covered by the recall. I have the part number on the work order from sears. Nissan denied my request. Nissan claim number is 1468c472. Approximately June 10, 2014. I would like your help in seeking reimbursement from Nissan since I had to pay for the replacement tank and labor. My local Nissan dealer in bowie MD also denied my request.
