Fuel leaks out of the evap canister and onto rear passenger wheel fender liner under heavy driving and cornering. This leakage IS also the source of very strong fuel fumes inside the cabin of the car. The evap canister IS located ~6" upwind of the exhaust and has been seen to be the source of fires! I attach photos of fuel staining around the evap canister on my car. I have personally seen 2 nissan gt-rs catch fire due to this situation, & have photos (not attached).

The lights go out for the gauge cluster routinely go out rendering drivers unable to read the gauges at night including the fuel gauge and speedometer. I noticed it when I started my car while in a dark location and was unable to see my temperature gauge, fuel gauge, and gear indicated gauge along with part of my tachometer. Many other owners experienced this same problem and there does not seem to be a related to anything caused by the owner. Nissan's solution IS to replace the cluster with the same cluster that still has the faulty design and the lights still go out.
- Electrical system · Exterior lighting
The instrument cluster lighting in the car has failed rendering the gauges/speedometer/etc unreadable at night. Nissan extended the warranty on this item but mine has been replaced and now has the exact same issue. This IS a safety issue - not being able to read the speedometer at night IS dangerous!
