Nissan is declining to honor a recall for fuel injectors that was issued on all 1986 nissans.
I received a recall notification on april 9,2010. Nhtsa campaign # 95i006000. This was and is the only recall that i have received since owning the vehicle that was bought from gies nissan of cortlandt manor, ny back in 1989. The vehicle was originally sold from newburgh nissan of newburg ny. The vehicle is doing exactly what the campaign describes. The vehicle is leaking gas from the injectors. The vehicle is getting progressively worst. I contacted the local nissan dealer and was told they can not perform the recall due to parts availability. They told me that i can find the parts after market produced and they would negotiate payment reimbursement for the parts but cost of labor was my responsibility, this was also told to me by nissan consumers affairs service of north america the regional directors name that i spoke to only would give me his first name "mike". I was able to located the parts which are available thru nissan. I do not believe that it should be my responsibility to handle this when this was a national recall. Also a note, this vehicle is stored in my home in a garage below the living quarters. The defect causes fire in the vehicle.nissan corp customer service is giving me a run around, the dealers have stated that they would perform the recall if the parts were made available. Please give me some assistance with this matter before this vehicle burns along with hopefully not a more serious situation.second note this vehicle up until this past year was only used o about five times a year and always garage kept. When the vehicle was started to be used more often is when the smell of gas has got worst. I was also informed that due to this fuel problem the vehicle will not pass nys emissions nor safety inspections.[xxx]nissan claim #[xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
