| Description of the problem | My juke caught on fire this morning! It only has 32,400 miles on it and i am left with no car and little interest from nissan. I did smell gas but did not think much of it. My son is on dialysis 3 days a week and at first the corporation told me i would be reimbursed for a rental car for three days but before the call concluded they changed their mind telling me it was pending decision. There is a recall on the 2011-2012 juke fuel injected engine due to fuel may leak from the pressure sensor, increasing the risk of a fire, that i was not notified of. Nissan is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 juke, infiniti qx and infiniti m vehicles. The fuel pressure sensors may not have been tightened to the correct specification. As a result, the fuel pressure sensor may loosen due to heat and vibration causing fuel to leak. They tried to tell me that my car was one that had already been fixed.... So, then why am i left walking in the subzero temperatures? |
