Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I kept smelling gas then i knew the injectors had been replaced because i had a starter replaced and tom peacock nissan ran a check to insure the recall had been performed it was already done so i was convinced the problem was resolved, so about a year later i'm smelling gas me and my father looked under the hood and saw that fuel was leaking from an injector so i called tom peacock nissan.considering they supposedly fixed the problem concerning injectors failing resulting in fires they said it had already been replaced and their best advice was to pay $915 for all new replacement injectors,so my reaction was why would i replace all of them if only one of them is leaking,so i thought about it and said i will just buy one considering the others are still functioning so i called tom peacock nissan and ordered one injector it cost me $115.00 so i that's fine i'll order it and let them put the injector in when the injector came in i waited a week for my next pay check to pay for the repairs,that time came and i called tom peacock to set up a time to bring in the car, i notified them that i had already bought the injector i just needed it installed they said they don't work on cars 10 years or older and referred me to a gordon automotive, which surprised me considering they made the car and guy i spoke with previously said just bring the car buy we will replace the injectors all of them for $915 i am just very upset with nissan why make car that can you can't repair,if they had a recall on the same problem,why should i have to pay anything regarding something they were forced into a recall in 1996,all i see is the same problem occuring again and again i'm sure i'm not the only one with this problem.i hope you can help me with this problem because it is not being resolved it's being avoided. *ak
