Description of the problem	A very strong and very overpowering gas smell came inside the vehicle while i was driving it at night. I had my 5-year old strapped in his car seat in the back. I was stuck in traffic on i-95 and didn't have many options but to continue to drive home. The "service engine soon" light came on as well. The next day, i took the vehicle in for servicing at my nissan dealership mechanic, and i have specific text from the work invoice that states the following word-for-word: "cannister coming apart. Right valve stuck inside - replaced - gas leaking down side. Replaced gas tank - rusted." the work invoice also details that the dealership mechanic replaced the following components: (1) canister assy e (2) valve assy - co (3) fuel tank (4) ring-o fuel gag. This vehicle has never been in any accidents and i fully maintain it according to the manufacturer's schedule. I have been a responsible and gentle owner. I feel this was extremely unsafe -- to have gasoline leaking out due to a rusted gas tank is [in my opinion] an unacceptable defect -- the gas tank should have been made [in my opinion] out of a non-rusting material. I have complained to nissan usa and they offered me (on the phone the representative said it was as "goodwill") a $250 nissan debit card for future repairs on this vehicle. But the total cost that i had to pay for this leaking gasoline issue was $1,254. 83. I am willing to provide nhtsa with my receipt that shows the text indicating the details of this defect and that i had to pay $1,254. 83 to rectify it.
