Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Fuel sending unit replaced due to corrosion build up around fuel sending area. replaced by dealer several times, oem part proved defective each time. finally received recall notice from nissan that corrosion build up was causing the fuel sending unit to fail in areas that use salt on the road. today, 9/10/04 dealer had to replace fuel sending unit again(with recall approved fuel sending unit) and now tells me that the corrosion is so bad the fuel tank needs to be replaced. the vehicle is 3 years old and has only 56,000 miles. they told us that the tank may eventually leak fuel from the sending unit area that has corrosion. *ak
