| Description of the problem | Vehicle started fine as usual, but as we were taking off to drive out driveway. The engine stalled and would not restart even though starter was turning. The fuel gauge was showing a quarter of a tank fuel level. I called nissan dealer and they said it may be fuel sending unit. Put about 4 gallons of gas in gas tank and engine started, but still showed quarter of a tank on fuel gauge. The fuel tank was evidently empty even though gauge was showing it had fuel in tank. This could have been a very serious safety issue if this had happened on the freeway. Nissan dealer says our vehicle vin is not in the recall, but it is evident that this vehicle has the same issue as the recalled vehicle. This problem needs to be addressed as soon as possible. |
