Gas smell after driving. Dealer replaced EVAP canister valve but still fills my garage with smell
- Wenona, IL, USA
My Vehicle has 3,700 miles on it and i have smelled a very intense fuel smell in the cabin of the vehicle at least 6 times mostly when the interior fan is not set to recirculate the air, i took the vehicle to my local nissan service center and they could find no issues but said this is a complaint that others have also made. I am concerned that there could be a fire from the fumes that are being released.

The gas pedal in my new 2022 Nissan Rogue has stuck open full throttle twice. Both times I managed to avoid a major car accident, but I was in the middle of a highway with traffic... I was in the left hand turn lane and pushed the gas pedal to the floor - the vehicle immediately seemed to be full-throttle in LOW gear - this is a problem with this vehicle. It slips into low gear about 20 percent of the time when you put it in D. the engined raced but the vehicle moved slowly. I took my foot completely off the gas pedal but the gas pedal stayed fully engaged. I pushed on the brake and managed to stop the vehicle with the engine still racing and the vehicle still trying to lunge forward. I tried to put the vehicle into neutral but it bypassed neutral - even the dotted indicator transmission light bypassed neutral and jumped into reverse. the car lurched but i still had the brakes fully engaged... this continued with me again tryying for neutral - then I gave up and concentrated on taking one of my 2 feet off the brake and reaching under the throttle. I had to slip my seat belt off and slide down to accomplish this. I did manage to do it and the gas pedal did disengage. I estimate the pedal was stuck and the engine revved full throttle for four minutes or a little longer. My son was outside the vehicle (waiting for me to pick him up) and he witnessed this from outside the vehicle. This is obviously very dangerous and could be deadly. In my case it could have caused a major multi-vehicle accident.

There is a strong unburied fuel smell on occasion. The dealer says that they are waiting for Nissan engineering to provide a repair and that it would be ok to drive.

For roughly the last three months, several times I have smelled fuel or gas in the interior cabin. Mostly at startup for first time during morning. But also when starting car after use earlier in the day. The smell dissipates after 10 minutes or so. Especially if I roll down windows to let in fresh air. Please let me know how address because dealer will not see issue as it does not occur with a defined pattern that I recognize. I did notice that when the gas tank was near empty the smell was very strong - and I was driving car for several minutes before the odor started. This issue is not healthy for breathing and I-??m worried about it getting worse and becoming a safety issue.

There is a strong smell of gasoline a few minutes after parking the vehicle in my enclosed garage. The smell is strongest on the drivers side, near base of the windshield and along the left side of the hood. This problem occurs every time I drive the vehicle more than 20 mins and then park it in an enclosed garage. 10 mins after parking it, the garage smells like spilled gasoline. I took the vehicle at 2,200 miles to a dealer and they stated that they were unable to duplicate the problem. They asked me to return the vehicle at 5,000 miles if I still had the problem.

Vehicle has raw fuel smell, both outside and inside. Smell intensity varies, sometimes it is faint, sometimes it smells up the whole garage for days. When restarting the vehicle after having driven it, fuel smell comes into the cabin from the air vents. Took to dealer multiple times. The first time, the Service Advisor noted the strong fuel smell. Subsequant visits to the dealer had faint fuel smell that was hard to detect over the typical odors in a repair shop. Opened a case with Nissan, and they sent a tech, but no resolution. Requested a re-purchase, and Nissan denied it. Nissan states this 1.5L engine is under Engineering Review, but they do not know if or when they will figure out a repair. This vehicle is an extreme health hazard with the exposure to hydrocarbon vapors, and is not safe to drive as an engine fire could result from the gas vapors. Issue started a month ago at 1100 miles.

For several weeks I have noticed strong smell of gasoline when my car is parked in my garage. Today, I called my Nissan dealer because I am very concerned. The service advisor informed me that they have received many similar complaints and Nissan is supposedly trying to identify and remedy the problem. He said my car is safe, but I am terribly concerned.
