What owners report
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1990 NISSAN 240SX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 95V103002 (SEAT BELTS). THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING A FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL AND WANTED TO CHARGE THE CONTACT FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
THE FACTORY BREAK BOOSTERS ON NISSAN 240SX MODEL YEARS 1989-1998 LEAK AND DRIP BREAK FLUID ONTO THE FRAME RAIL, EATING AWAY THE RUST PREVENTIVE COATING. THIS ALLOWS THE ELEMENTS TO CONTACT BARE METAL, OXIDIZING IT AND BOTH WEAKENING THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE BREAKS TO FAIL.
I HAVE PURCHASED THIS AUTO APRIL 20, 2005. I DROVE IT FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS. THEN AN OVERPOWERING ODOR OF GASOLINE EMITTED IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. UPON INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, THERE WAS GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE FUEL RAIL. I HAVE HAD THE O-RINGS AND INSULATORS REPLACED ON ALL FOUR FUEL INJECTORS AND THE LEAK IS STILL PRESENT. IT SEEMS THAT I MUST NOW REPLACE THE INJECTORS. IN CHECKING FOR POSSIBLE RECALLS, I HAVE NOTICED THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS MADE REFERRING TO THE FUEL SYSTEM ON THESE MODELS, AND THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT RECALL THE 240 SX EVEN THOUGH THE EXACT SAME DESIGN IS USED IN THE FOUR CYLINDER ENGINE AS THE SIX CYLINDER MODELS THAT THEY DID R
SMELLED BAD GAS ODOR. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP AND SAID 3 OUT OF 4 INJECTORS WERE LEAKING, VERY DANGEROUS. REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. NOW I AM READING ABOUT RECALL # 95I006000--NEVER NOTIFIED. WILL NISSAN REFUND OR CREDIT ME FOR COST SINCE THIS WAS IMMEDIATE DANGER PROBLEM. WILL PROVIDE PROOF OF SERVICE AND COST.*AK
3 OF 4 FUEL INJECTORS LEAKING AND FUEL REGULATORS NEEDS REPLACEMENT. *AK
