| Description of the problem | On 2/1/12 my daughter noticed a strong odor of fuel coming from the interior of the vehicle. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership for safety reasons. The service manager found a severe leak "that was pouring fuel into the engine compartment" whenever the vehicle was running. The leak was at the fuel pressure regulator. I did some research on the internet and realized that this is a very common problem and has happened to many juke owners. My 18 year old daughter could have died in a vehicle fire! I hope it doesn't require several people to die before a recall is issued. This is a very dangerous situation and nissan should be aware of it due to all of the service claims. |
