Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 1995 nissan quest van with 30,000 miles on it about 4 years ago(1999-2000). my complaint is that every winter on very cold days, when we turn the heat on in the mornings you can smell a very bad raw gas smell. after the engine warms up it will usually go away but not always and sometimes when you come to a stop it will start again. i am talking about a very strong gas smell, not just a little bit. it is enough that sometimes we have to get out of the vehicle it's so bad. sometimes we roll the windows down, which is not very comfortable seeing that it usually happens on the coldest days. i have taken it to a local nissan dealership 2 or 3 times and they have fixed all the recalls and bulletins put out by nissan on problems related to this. these never worked. i also took it to another auto repair shop 3 times to have it fixed. nothing has worked to this point. this is a little unsettling that the manufacturer of the vehicle cannot even find the problem and i can't keep pouring money into this vehicle and not seeing any results. nor do i feel comfortable about my family riding around in this vehicle.*ak
