| Description of the problem | I smell gas inside the car, i took it to a shop and they told me the gas tank is all rusted on top, causing the gas to spill out. I called junk yards and all there tanks for the nissan are also corroded. I called nissan and they said there were no recalls. They said it is from living in a salt area. However no other makes or models that i have had ever did this. I was told to take it to a nissan dealer for evaluation. Which i did but felt unsafe driving the car. I feel this should be a recall, please help. Thanks |
