Your car's fuel tank won't accept a full charge at the gas pump—the pump keeps clicking off as if the tank is full, even though you can only add less than a gallon at a time. A technician replaced the fuel pressure sensor (which cost over $300) to fix the issue, though a technical bulletin about this problem may exist from the manufacturer.

WE PAID NISSAN $88.75 FOR THE TECHNICIAN TO TELL US THAT WE NEED A NEW GAS TANK ($900) DUE TO A CANISTER LEAKING AND CLOGGING THE AIR FILTER INSIDE THE TANK. THEY WANT US TO PAY $900 TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK! WE THINK IT MUST BE A DEFECT BECAUSE GAS TANKS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR OR ATLEAST MORE THAN 4 YEARS. WE ARE DRIVING WITH THE SMELL OF GAS UNTIL THIS IS RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP. DT
