1992 NISSAN STANZA Complaints

VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE AT VARIOUS OF SPEEDS WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING AND CONTROL. *AK

2 FUEL INJECTORS LEAKING GAS ONTO ENGINE. I HAVE CHECKED AND THERE ARE AT LEAST 30 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON 1990 - 1992 NISSAN STANZAS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO INITIATE A RECAL. SEVERAL OF THESE HAVE RESULTED IN FIRES. THE DEALER WOULD NOT TELL ME IF ANY OTHER MODELS USE THE SAME INJECTOR, OR I WOULD HAVE CHECKED THEM AS WELL. THIS IS A VERY VOLITILE SAFETY ISSUE WITH GASOLINE LEAKING ON A HOT ENGINE. I THINK SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.

FUEL INJECTORS WERE LEAKING GASOLINE ONTO THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT OWNER'S COST. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK
