| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan armada the fuel gauge is not accurate and caused my armada to run out of fuel in the middle of a highway at speeds of 65mph. The fuel gauge was showing i had 1/4 of a tank left as the car shutdown right in the middle of the busy highway no warning lights at 3am , very close call on a accident almost cost me my life and the cop who was helping me. We could not push my suv off to the side. So i took the suv to campbellnelson nissan of edmonds, i was told there's no recall on my suv vin specific. I was told there's a recall 2005-2009 but on not on my vin #. They called me and said the fuel sending unit was bad and was not reading it shows 1/4 of a tank but it was out of gas. So way is my 2005 nissan armada not on the recall list what's it going to take someone to get killed! I want nissan to pay for my suv to get fixed asap this is so wrong my suv is still at there shop. |
