1 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2009

Suddenly could not fill gas tank, due to the fuel backing up into the hose. Causing the gas hose to click off, as if the tank was full. Researched problem on internet, found recall for 2005 Nissan Sentra vehicles which was in regards to the fuel system-hard start/long crank time. Called Nissan northamerica and was told my VIN was not included in this recall??? told to take vehicle to Nissan dealer for diagnostic report. Paid 100. 00 for this dealer to tell me the problem was the e-vac canister and not the recall part. Showed dealer the details of the recall which included the e-vac canister being replaced then the fuel tank. Dealer said it did not fall within the spects of the recall, so they would not fix it. I mentioned that it was the fist step of the over all repair of the recall. Was told that does not matter. I have in front of me a report that states all 2005 VIN numbers are part of this recall. Yet I cannot get Nissan to even acknowledge this problem. I am again told to take the vehicle to the dealership, (because over 30 days have gone by since the last time I had it diagnosed by a Nissan dealer) and have it diagnosed again (pay 100. 00) so that I can again be told that the e-vap canister is defective, only then will the representative at the Nissan northamerica customer service department refer the complaint to and elevated level to have a more technical customer service department individual look into the problem. (OH and I can request my 100. 00 back. But it doesn't mean I will get it back!!) so the vehicle remains defective. Guess it is time to contact the massachusetts attorney generals office about Nissan's knowing negligence for the safety of every person that might be near this vehicle if it explodes while I am trying to fill the gas tank!.
