| Description of the problem | 2007 frontier nissan cheap gas tank... What good does a lock gas cap do? The gas tank is made out of cheap plastic which is very easy for a low life person to puncture with only the point of a pocket knife!!! (the repair person,himself showed me with his own pocket knife how it took no strain to steal my gas.) ( i found out the hard way!!! A low life person had no difficulty at all stealing my gas with just the point of a pocket knife. And with the high prices of gas a lot more of us will also find out the hard way!!! ) to replace my gas tank it cost me about $1,000. 00.!!! But even worse!!! My new $1,000. 00 gas tank is just like the old gas tank that was punctured with only the point of a pocket knife,by a low life person who already knows where my nissan is parked!!! And how easy it was to steal my gas before!!! Hey!!! I can't afford a $1,000. 00 every time some low life person steals my gas!!! Can you??? I don't think nissan can even afford that!!! Either!!! |
