2005 Nissan PATHFINDER Fuel System, Gasoline Storage Tank Assembly Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	780766
Internal NHTSA #	10322834
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My 2005 nissan pathfinder hit a metal object in the road with one of the front tires. The object was propelled under the car towards the rear. There it contacted the fuel tank and punctured the tank. This caused 16-18 gallons of gasoline to flow out of the tank. After stopping i had to step through a steady stream of gasoline to remove my infant daughter from the middle row's driver's side seat. At this time i'm aware of no other damage sustained to the vehicle. Police and fire department responded to the scene, and the police report is available upon request. This incident appears to be consistent with events described in the recall 06v003000 for the 2005 nissan murano, however to my knowledge it appears the 2005 nissan pathfinder has not been recalled for this issue. Currently i'm awaiting the final repair bill and determination if anything beyond the fuel tank was damaged. At this time the current repair planned is to have the fuel tank replaced. The old fuel tank is being kept in the event it is needed for insurance or safety inspection.
