Tank Filler Pipe And Cap problems of the 2006 Nissan Sentra

Engine light is on then realized that I was having problem getting fuel into gas tank. Once opening the gas cap a gush of gas fumes comes out. Can not get gas in tank with out gas pump cutting off all the time. It takes for ever to get gas into tank. Vehicle taken to Nissan dealer they told me it was gas tank and that a similar problem was discovered on another model a recall was done on that model not on my vehicle model. They expect me to pay 100. 00 for new gas tank. This is a safety concern due to the fact the rush of gas fume pressure that rushes out when fuel cap is open to refuel vehicle. Dealer states that fuel tank sensor is causing problem.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Sentra. While the vehicle was idling with a full tank of gas, the pressure in the gas tank forced fuel out of the tank and caused gasoline to leak out. Whenever the contact would place fuel into the vehicle, the gas pump would automatically stop indicating that the tank was full, when in fact it was nearly empty. He then began to notice leaks on his driveway and took the vehicle to the dealer. He was informed that a new gas tank and fuel filter were needed. The vehicle is currently being repaired at the dealer. They covered half of the repair costs. The failure is identical to NHTSA campaign id number 05v269000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage) for an earlier model of the same vehicle; however, his VIN was not included in the recall. The current and failure mileages were 131,000.
