In owners' own words
Filling the gas tank till the gas pump automatic shut-off occurs, fuel leaks (approximately 1/2 gallon) from the fuel line going into the gas tank. Is this the fuel tank vent hose leakage described in nhtsa recall numbers 00v419001 & 00v419002? I need to get this corrected asap to avoid and fuel ignition possibilities. Do I have to wait until the investigation closes for a recall? I hope not. Engine and engine cooling
While entering into a parking lot there was a loud noise, crankshaft fell off. Mechanic stated there was no diagnostic after looking at vehicle. Also, engine has to be replaced. Manufacturer has been notified and responded that vehicle was no longer under warranty.*Ak engine replaced at owners expense. Consumer feels dealer should take reponsibility for claim. Engine and engine cooling
The exhaust manifold attaches to the engine block in two locations. The bolts vibrate loose and fall out or shear off. Some of the gasket falls out. I am told by an indepentant repair facility, that this is a typical problem with Nissan Quest and mercury villager mini-vans. There is a problem with exhaust fumes coming into the passenger compartment. Engine and engine cooling
