On March 07, 2007 my 2000 Nissan Frontier began intermittently to lose engine power. No recognizable events lead up to the power failure, it came on suddenly and without any warning. The first incident occurred at a major highway intersection, and nearly caused vehicle crash. On March 08, 2007, I had my vehicle towed to my primary mechanic for inspection. On March 09, 2007, my primary ase certified mechanic diagnosed the problem as being a faulty fuel tank sending unit. He also advised me of Nissan's voluntary recall campaign for this specific problem, and suggested that I return my vehicle to them to have the recall service completed. On March 22, 2007, I had my vehicle towed to sandy sansing Nissan of pensacola, fl, to have the recall service completed. The details of this service as noted on my service invoice were as follows: Fuel sending unit non-salt recall; checked connection, no corrosion found, sprayed protective coating on connectors. On March 23, 2007, I returned to the dealership to pick up my vehicle, as I had been advised that the service was completed. After driving less than four miles from the dealership, the engine in my vehicle began to fail, just as it had when the problem was diagnosed as being a faulty fuel sending unit. I phoned sandy sansing Nissan's service department to asvise them that the problem still existed. Their response was that the recall did not require them to replace the faulty fuel sending unit since my vehicle was identified as not being located in a " salt state". as a result of my vehicle's engine failure, again I had to have it towed home. I don't understand the process that was used to determine that my vehicle was not eligible for being located in a salt state. I have two homes and one of them is in Tennessee, which is a salt state", and I travel there quite frequently. I am unable to find a local independant mechanic to replace the fuel sending unit because of Nissan's recall.ak

Vechile is 2000 nissian Frontier crew cab SE. 10-04 got recall notice on fuel system gasoline fuel pump. Took truck in was told no crack or corrosion so was told they put a sealent on it. Procedure per recall I have. Recall # is 04V230000. On 6-15 truck stop working in major intersection was almost hit from behind. Truck towed to nissian 6-1605 and was told it was this part that was cracked and had lots of corrosion on it, but I would have to pay for it since recall was for sealent only. Not acceptable. Was told that Nebraska is not a salt state so the sealent would work. What the heck do these people think we use for the ice and snow we have here" sorry. People at my dealership were the best. They really tried to go to bat for me but their hands are tied as well. They were told it was a company policy. I am really upset. I called the 800 # for nissian and got no where. Hell they would not give me a a street addr for me to send a certified letter to and they would not tell me who the CEO was. I got some women on the phone who just gave me the run around and said she would open a file. What ever that means. I believe these people are responsible for this part. They new it was bad in the begining.it says so on their website. Nebraska a no salt state. Where do these people think Nebraska is, the tropics" sorry. I wish to issue a formal complaint. I do not want anyone else to have to go through this nor if their engine stops I would hate for a fatlity to take place. I would think they would want to prevent that my self. I am a resonalbe person with a great sense of humor but my humor and my patientce is running very low. I hope to hear from someone on your end as soon as possible. Thank you laural.
