2 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem of the 2004 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 09/01/2011

In September of 2011 I started to have a problem fueling my car. As soon as I begin putting fuel in, it starts spitting fuel back out. My service engine light has been on since then and just yesterday I checked out the code at my friend's house - it is indeed p1446. After more investigation on line, it looks like a vent control valve needs to be replaced. I'm not sure why this isn't a recall issue. It's dangerous and expensive to fix. After more research, I found that there have been numerous reports of the same problem. . . . Even one that caused a fire that severely burned a mother and child. I checked for any recalls on Sentras on the website but I only got 1 recall which applies to 2. 5l engine versions. No recalls were listed for this problem. I am a widow with three children and don't have the money to make this repair. I need your help. Please.

3 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem of the 2005 Nissan Sentra

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!.

5 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem of the 2004 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 01/16/2009

Engine does not start until after many cranks most of the times. The engine maintenance light is on & diagnostic code is 1446. When fill in the fuel tank the gasoline start to overflow, therefore I have to go slowly which takes me 10-15 minutes to fill in the tank. I took the car to my mechanic & he told me he has to try to replace the evap vent control valve & see if the problem will go away. I'm not sure what to do, since then I've been reading on line about it, it seems to me there are other consumers like me have the same problem!!!.

8 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem of the 1999 Nissan Sentra

Failure Date: 05/15/2007

The fuel filler tank/hose on my father's 1999 Nissan Sentra must be replaced. However, the part is not available form Nissan; it is no longer made and there is no 'after market" item. He tried a 2000 part; it could not be made to fit. We have contacted Nissan directly, have talked to dealers, etc. Without this needed repair, the car is basically of no value. It cannot be sold, because it would not pass inspection. Complete frustration. The car itself is great, less than 60,000 miles, no rust, excellent m[g, etc. But what can we do now/ who to complain to/ Nissans response seems to be "tough luck" and there is no recourse.
