Let's face it --- whether you're talking about a car or sitting at the dinner table, gas leaks are never a good thing. Nissan knew it had a problem back in August when they recalled 6,000 new Maximas because gas was getting out. Now they have a bigger problem. The O-ring seal that allowed the fuel to flow out of those Maximas was installed on thousands of other cars too ... maybe even yours. O-dear.

The automaker is expanding the recall to include:

  • Any 2016 Maxima built between Februrary 10 and August 18, 2015.
  • Any 2013-16 Altima with a 3.5L V6 engine that was built between March 30, 2012 and August 18, 2015.

Don't be surprised if they expand it again. In the meantime, keep open flames away from your car and check out the full story for more details.

The best way to find out what's wrong with a vehicle is from the people who drive them. Not only do owner complaints help us rank vehicles by reliability, but they're often used to spark class-action lawsuits and warranty extensions. Plus, they're a great way to vent.
