| Description of the problem | We were left stranded on 2 occasions (3/11/14 and 4/22/14) because the fuel display read at least 1/4 tank of gas when, in fact, we found the tank was empty. Once in the middle of a windy road on a bad curve, the other in a parking lot. This is the pertinent recall that is associated with our vehicle from the website: report receipt date: mar 03, 2010 nhtsa campaign number: 10v074000 component(s): fuel system, other all products associated with this recall: vehicle makemodelmodel year(s) nissanarmada2005-2009 we have spoken with the dealership where our vehicle has been since monday, 4/28/14, and the corporate/regional offices for nissan. 2 diagnostic tests have been run, and did confirm that this is the issue with our vehicle. The corporate office will not approve the repair for our vehicle and now will not return my calls from wednesday and today. We have been given an estimate from the dealership and have been told they have also been notified this repair will not be covered by nissan regardless of it being the exact issue covered under the listed recall, and our vehicle is a 2005 nissan armada. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! |
