2007 Nissan Altima Fuel System Problems

CALL HAS BEEN STALLING FOR A FEW YEARS NOW IT DOESN'T START AT ALL. A MECHANIC CAME OUT AND SAID IT'S THE FUEL PUMP.

VEHICLE LOST ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

AFTER REFUEL THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE REMAINS INDICATING "EMPTY". FUEL GAUGE SLOWLY ASSUMES "FULL" POSITION AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE HEARD FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTER STOPPING TO INSPECT THE NOISE, HE NOTICED A FUEL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE FUEL TANK, WHICH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT TO NOTIFY NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

SUNDAY OCTOBER 2, 2011 MY CAR BEGAN LEAKING OIL UNEXPECTEDLY. IMMEDIATELY MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHERE HE DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL COOLER WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR AS IT WAS LOSING TOO MUCH OIL. I CONTACTED COGGIN NISSAN AT THE AVENUES (904-880-3000), SPOKE WITH JASON IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE AND HE INFORMED ME THAT HE HAS SEEN QUITE A FEW CARS THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MINE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I STRONGLY FEEL THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS PART SINCE SO MANY CARS LIKE MINE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS ISSUE SHOULD BECOME PART OF A RECALL AND NISSAN SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PRICE OF THE PART. UP UNTIL NOW I HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH MY NISSAN. THIS HAS CAUSED ME A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS AND MONEY I DO NOT HAVE AS I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH A YOUNG CHILD TO SUPPORT. I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ME.
