1998 Nissan Sentra gxe would not take fuel. At the gas pump, the pump would click off, like the tank was full. It would take less than a gallon of gas at a time. I took it to be serviced and questioned if there was a recall and I was told that there was just a bulletin on it. I never located the bulletin. The pressure sensor was replaced. That part alone, was over $300. Dollars.
We paid Nissan $88. 75 for the technician to tell us that we need a new gas tank ($900) due to a canister leaking and clogging the air filter inside the tank. They want us to pay $900 to replace the gas tank! we think it must be a defect because gas tanks should last the life of the car or atleast more than 4 years. We are driving with the smell of gas until this is resolved. Please help. Dt.
