| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan armada fuel gauge is reading incorrectly. When the fuel gauge gets down to 1/4 of a tank it stops registering. I found this out because twice i thought i had a 1/4 of a tank left but there was actually no gas in my tank and i ran out of gas in the middle of the highway. I took my car to the nissan of mckinney dealership and they said my vin number did not fall under the recall and couldn't fix it, even though it was having the same issue as the recall for the armada. I submitted a complaint to nissan and they rejected my request to have nissan pay for it because my vin wasn't part of the recall. If nissan knows this is an issue with the aramda why wouldn't all armada be covered? |
