| Description of the problem | I have a 2008 nissan frontier and the gas vent control valve has failed where the back wash flap at the top of the gas tank has fallen into the gas tank neck preventing me from being able to put gas into the gas tank. I called nissan headquarters and they transferred me to a local dealer. The service manager there said i would be charged $150. 00 just for them to look at the vehicle. I think this is outrages because i read on your government site that this is a common problem on more nissan models too. This should be a recall item. Respectfully, michael h. |
