1995 NISSAN 240SX Complaints

THE FUEL TANK WHERE THE STRAP WAS ATTACHED BROKE, AND FUEL LEAKED ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO REPAIR. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT THEY NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT ON THIS MATTER. *AK *SC

DEFECT IN ALL NISSAN 240SX GAS TANKS, RESULTS LEADING TO GAS LEAKING. NISSAN MANFACTURES SHOULD DO AN RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. *JB

AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED MAY 2000. IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE. *AK THE AIR BAGS FAILED TWICE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITHOUT THE CONSUMER GETTING INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER SAYS THE AIR BAGS WERE DEFECTIVE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD PAY FOR THE COST OF REPLACING IT. BESIDES, THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. *YH

I FORGOT TO MENTION NOT ONLY IS THE BRAKE SYSTEM BAD BUT THE TAKOMETER AND GAS GAUGE AS WELL. ODI #738038. NO ONE WILL LISTEN. THE 91 240SX WAS GREAT! THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE INQUIRED ABOUT WHY IT WAS DISCONTINUED AND I CAN'T GET A ANSWER FROM ANYONE.*AK

NO BODY CAN FIX THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN MY CAR. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THEM DONE FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS. 4 + TIMES. I'M NOW BEING TOLD THAT THE REASON BEING IS BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE UNIVERSALS, CALIPERS, BEARINGS ROTORS AND MORE. WAS TOLD THAT IF THE PROBLEM WAS TAKEN CARE OF FROM THE BEGINNING THAT THE CAR WOULDN'T NEED AS MUCH WORK NOW. WAS QUOTED OVER 1,000 IN BRAKING SYSTEM WORK NEEDED TO BE DONE. THIS CAR IS ONLY A 1995. MY 1991 WAS A TANK COMPARED TO THIS ONE. I HATE THIS CAR. NISSAN CORPORATE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED SEVERAL TIMES IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM AND THE PAINT PEELING OFF IN THE FRONT END. AT THIS TIME, I DON'T HAVE THE VIN # WITH ME. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. JUST HEARD A LOUD CRASHING SOUND IN THE REAR END LAST NIGHT. *AK

AIRBAG LIGHT IS FLASHING. CONSUMER SAID VEHICLE NEEDED A ECU. AIRBAG LIGHT FLASHING INDICATED THAT AIRBAG WAS NOT WORKING. *AK

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, AND NEITHER DRIVER'S SIDE NOR PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

SHIFTER COMPONENT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 5 YEARS DUE TO INTERNAL PARTS BREAKING WHICH PREVENT THE SHIFTER BUTTON FROM BEING PUSHED IN AND THUS LOCKING THE CAR IN THE PARK SETTING.

THE AIRBAG SYSTEM OF MY CAR IS INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF A MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAG CONTROL UNIT. THE VEHICLE HAS AN ACCELENT MAINTENANCE HISTORY, IS ONLY A FEW YEARS OLD, AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN DEPLOYED. THIS MALFUNCTION IS UNREASONABLE AND I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT IT IS RATHER COMMON ON THIS CAR. *AK

MY DAUGHTER/I PURCHASED THE CAR (DEMO W/ 4714 MILES) 8/23/94 AND RECEIVED A 6 YR WARRANTY. SHE HEARD ENGINE NOISE IN 8/99, BUT SERVICE DEPT. COULD NO DETERMINED CAUSE. AFTER THE TENSIONER BROKE THEY OPENED TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY & FOUND THE TENSIONER IN THE BOTTON OF THE HOUSING. MFG'R DECLINED TO HONOR THE WARRENTY. *AK
