| Description of the problem | My 2004 nissan xterra has a rusted fuel tank. I always smell gas. Nissan corporate told me to bring it to a dealer. I brought it in to nissan to confirm this and they said" its rusted and dangerous to drive" i called corporate and they said the will get in touch with me in 3 days, its been 2 weeks. A gas tank should not rot in 5 years(bought in 05) with 58,000. If the tech said i should not drive this truck then why is nissan corp. Not getting back to me in a timely manner? |
