Description of the problem	I received a recall notice from nissan for my 2008 pathfinder due to a faulty fuel gauge. On saturday 5/1/2010, i presented the vehicle to maroone nissan in kendall for repairs. After 2 hours, the vehicle was returned to me with a receipt indicating that the problem was fixed. There was a strong gas odor when i started the car. I assumed that this was probably natural since the repairs were related to the fuel system. However, later that day, the check engine light came on. This was the first and only time that this light came on since i acquired the vehicle in april 2008. I decided that on monday morning i will return the vehicle to nissan. However, on sunday around midday, my son took the vehicle to the service station to purchase gas. The next event that happened was alarming. All the gas that my son added to the vehicle leaked out on the ground. Apparently, the service technician somehow managed to create a hole somewhere in the fuel system/gas tank. The vehicle had to be towed to nissan for repairs and the repairs are expected to occur on monday 5/3/2010. This situation could have resulted in a serious accident or even death to my son. I do not know whether the individual who performed the repairs was a nissan trained and certified technician or not. However, it is worthy of note that there is a serious deficiency in existence at the nissan location. It is my hope and expectation that an investigation be made into the type and qualifications of the service personnel and the service advisor and their business practices at this location. I am convinced that these individuals were fully aware that they were returning to me a defective vehicle that could have had catastrophic consequences. I should also note that i have been very dissatisfied with previous service jobs at this location, and have always elected to drive approximately 30miles to the pembroke location although the kendall branch in only about 6 miles from home.
