Fuel leak from top of defective fuel tank (corrosion) confirmed by Nissan 112 patchogue, NY. There was a recall on 2001 Frontiers for the same reason but not on the 2000. I see many other 2000 Frontier owners have the same safety issue and that in most cases Nissan replaced the tank for no charge. I am seeking for them to do the same for my vehicle or recall the 2000 Frontier for this defect.

I was driving back from school on March 10th 2011. While entering a highway onramp my car engine stopped. I was traveling 40 mph and did not get any warning about the stall, my steering did not have any power and brakes were difficult to operate. When I called Nissan (1-800-nissan1) about my incident and ask if there were any recalls made to my vehicle I was told that there was no recall. I then took my truck to a repair shop where it was diagnose with a faulty pump and burned electrical wires. This repair cost me over $900. I checked www.NHTSA.gov website for any recalls, learned that there was a recall for faulty fuel sending unit as per recall campaign I.D. # / NHTSA #: R0401 & R0402 / 04V-230 document rcrit-04V230-8435. This recall was made back in January 23, 2009. I was never notified about this, I wish I was and so I would not have to go through all the costly repairs.when I called Nissan back I was told that they will research my incident and get back to me the next day. I am still waiting.
2000 Nissan Frontier fuel sending unit set off service engine light. This was a recall which was repaired on 6 Sept 2007 fuel tank and sending unit were replaced. Vehicle had 62698 miles then.
