2000 Nissan Frontier

FUEL LEAK FROM TOP OF DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK (CORROSION) CONFIRMED BY NISSAN 112 PATCHOGUE, NY. THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2001 FRONTIERS FOR THE SAME REASON BUT NOT ON THE 2000. I SEE MANY OTHER 2000 FRONTIER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IN MOST CASES NISSAN REPLACED THE TANK FOR NO CHARGE. I AM SEEKING FOR THEM TO DO THE SAME FOR MY VEHICLE OR RECALL THE 2000 FRONTIER FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR
