Shortly after purchasing vehilce gas smell was present, each time vehicle was taken in for complaint dealership was unable to denote gas smell. This vehicle was purchased May 1998. The recalled on the vehicle was in 1996. I am the second purchaser and was never notified of the recall. The vehicle started losing power and I was told that the timing chain was going out on the vehicle and it would be expense to repair. I was advise to replace when it when completely out. On November 2004 while driving alone the vehicle went completely out and had to tow to a garage. I was told that the crank shaft of the vehicle has dissentrated. I was told that Nissan should repair it because it was a lifetime part and a factory recall on the vehicle in 1996. The Nissan dealership was notified a advised me to bring the vehicle in and they would make the necessary repairs. They repaired the vent hose that had been iinstalled incorrectly and refused to repair the crank shaft problem. The estimate from nissian was $4000. I still owe $10,00 on this vehile.
