| Description of the problem | I recently learned of the safety recall 10v-074 that described the exact situation i encountered in 2014. I was driving on expressway at 70 mph when engine died. Luckily i was able to coast over to side of road, but was between an on ramp and off ramp--very dangerous. Fuel gauge showed 1/3 of a tank. Roadside assistance added a couple gallons of gas. I was able to start and drive to dealer. No recalls were identified for my vin at the time so i was charged nearly $1000 to replace fuel pump/sender. I am bringing this to your attention because i have so far been unsuccessful in negotiating reimbursement from nissan. Based on the number of complaints i see on your website, i believe a non-vin specific safety recall campaign must be initiated because this problem will most likely continue since these vehicles can last a long time--my armada had 154,000 miles on it at that time. |
