Puchase from private party in february, nissan ran diagnostics immediately after purchase. Leak was not recorded. Accident happened in june, vehicle returned in september, approximately a week after pick up, coded leak in emulation system, manifold/exhaust causing fumes to back up into truck while stopped, extreme fuel consumption and lack of power, causing idle to idle low at stop. This developed after a sideswiped hit accident and transmission being replaced. Left and right sensor also coded.
Nissan titan fuel line cover made from soy material. Rodent and small animals are attracted to the soy material and chew through the line, causing fuel fumes or fuel to leak. This is a potential fire hazard. Nissan refuse to acknowledge or fix the issue. After contacting nissan, nissan advises customers to replace part and cost themselves, part is replaced with same material causing the same problem. Part is not just a fuel line, it is a whole fuel tank system as line is connected to the tank system.
