In september of 2011 i started to have a problem fueling my car. As soon as i begin putting fuel in, it starts spitting fuel back out. My service engine light has been on since then and just yesterday i checked out the code at my friend's house - it is indeed p1446. After more investigation on line, it looks like a vent control valve needs to be replaced. I'm not sure why this isn't a recall issue. It's dangerous…

Faulty fuel pump on 2004 nissan sentra , noted by nissan since they issued a tecnichal service bullitin and a repair kit for the pump for sale for well over $200 u.s. But failed to issue a recall for this issue which leads to poor fuel pressure and hard to start conditions. *tt

Refueling: this 2004 nissan sentra 1.8s has had issues when refueling. The tank is not properly vented thus leading to a rush of pressure once the fuel cap is opened. This results in gasoline rushing up through the filler neck and spilling out. In addition, the tank is hard to fill as station nozzles do not permit refueling if the tank is not venting correctly while fueling; the station pump automatically stops…
