general problems of the 1998 Nissan Pathfinder

My vehicle has two recalls on it - first one is the gas neck recall and the second is the strut housing causing steering problems. I took my vehicle in on may 2nd, 2011 to bergstrom/Nissan in oshkosh. They checked out my vehicle and said that my vehicle has the problems regarding both recalls. It is September 8th, 2011 and they still have my vehicle. They called me this morning and told me that they braced up the front. Things should be good but that they took it for a drive and it is still all over the road. They also said that the part for the gas neck recall is on back order. They told me to come and pick up the vehicle. If they took it for a drive and it still is all over the road and there is still a problem with the steering - then I don't think it is safe and that they must not have done a good enough job fixing the problem. I don't want to drive an unsafe vehicle until they have corrected the problem.

I recently received a recall on my Nissan for the fuel filler tube. I had this replaced in sept. I called Nissan and they said because I didn't have it fixed at a Nissan dealer that I have to bring it to the dealer to make sure it was done properly. The woman said I wouldn't be reimbursed for that, which I think is totally wrong. I already spent money on having it repaired.
