Xterra 6-cyl

I smell gas inside the car, I took it to a shop and they told me the gas tank is all rusted on top, causing the gas to spill out. I called junk yards and all there tanks for the Nissan are also corroded. I called Nissan and they said there were no recalls. They said it is from living in a salt area. However no other makes or models that I have had ever did this. I was told to take it to a Nissan dealer for evaluation. Which I did but felt unsafe driving the car. I feel this should be a recall, please help. Thanks

Xterra 6-cyl

  • 58,000 miles
My 2004 Nissan Xterra has a rusted fuel tank. I always smell gas. Nissan corporate told me to bring it to a dealer.I brought it in to Nissan to confirm this and they said" its rusted and dangerous to drive" I called corporate and they said the will get in touch with me in 3 days, its been 2 weeks. A gas tank should not rot in 5 years(bought in 05) with 58,000. If the tech said I should not drive this truck then why is Nissan Corp. Not getting back to me in a timely manner?
