| Description of the problem | When turning on the air conditioning in the car after engine startup a very strong smell of gas enters the vehicle cabin. The fumes are very strong and unmistakable. This does not happen every time but happens often enough to be a concern. This started i would say within the past 4-6 months, not sure exactly when. Did not take the vehicle to the dealership for concern, was waiting for an oil change interval to come up. I told the dealership about the issue when i took the vehicle for a timing chain replacement tsb. The dealership (weston nissan in davie, florida) has said that they could not duplicate the problem. Gas smell/fumes entering the vehicle compartment is a safety/health issue especially when you have a child inside. |
