What owners wrote

Due to significant corrosion of the fuel filler tube resulted in fuel leaks, which in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire. In addition, the left rear seat belt retractor is mounted to the wheel housing and in the event of significant corrosion, and the mounting could fail in a vehicle crash. I have already contacted nissan and dealer in this regard; the nissan is not giving response from last one month to the dealer.

CrashFire

The vehicle's gas filler tube corroded. A recall (95v244000) was issued for the vehicle, however the dealer refused to repair it at no cost. Please provide any additional information. *nlm
