| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1995 nissan quest vehicle that had a safety recall for a cracked fuel tank vent hose that could potentially cause a fire. the recall work was performed in june 2001 with the recall notice stating that the hose needed to be replaced to prevent the hose from cracking and causing a fuel leak. on nov. 5th 2004, my vehicle failed it's annual state emissions test, with the report saying that i had a fuel system leak. the nissan dealership discovered the fuel tank vent hose cracked and leaking and charged me $170 to replace it. i protested the charge because the recall work was supposed to prevent this from happening. this safety recall is not effective. nissan told me that the recall work is only warranted for 1 year. my contention is that the recall should have prevented this from happening and the latest work should be covered. neither the dealer nor nissan would agree to reimburse me for the expense. since the hose should not have cracked again, i would like to be reimbursed for the expense. more importantly, the recall work was not effective.*ak |
