I bought my 2018 Frontier with 40K miles on it back in April 2018. I now have about 56K miles on it. Over the last couple of months it got harder and harder to put gas in it and for a month now it shuts off multiple times and or spits gas out when I try to fill it. Yes, while filling the tank the gas pump will shut off and gas will spit out of the filler tube and spill onto the ground! took it to my local dealer and assumed it would be fixed under warranty not knowing anything about this common issue. Dealer looked at it and told me $1,600 and suggested replacing filler tube assembly, canister filler, canister assembly, control valve assembly and evap control system pressure sensor. The paperwork says 'please check and advise found dtc for vent valve P0448 service bulletin ntb15-079.' They said my vehicle was over the 35K general warranty mileage. I did one minute of research on the web and found a tsb and Nissan website for the warranty enhancement (15yrs/150K). I called the dealer back and said why didn't you tell me about the tsb, the Nissan website and that this was a common problem for 15 years with multiple models of Nissan vehicles? not much of a response except you can call Nissan. I called Nissan and was assigned a case manager. They explained that the warranty enhancement was VIN specific and did not apply to my vehicle. He said he would review the case and get back to me in 4 days! he called back and said they had decided not to help me at all with the repair. So, here I am with a 2018 vehicle and Nissan wants me to spend $1600 to fix this issue they have had for 15 years. The same issue they are covering for thousands of other cars up to 15 years old with the warranty enhancement.
