| Description of the problem | Around 7/09, my armada just stopped on the freeway (according to the gas gauge, we had a 1/2 tank left)... Then found out on 7/27/09 that gas gauge was faulty, so i had to pay $560. 21 to antioch nissan to have that replaced. On 3/3/10, heard on the news there's a recall on fuel gauge on my nissan & got my reimbursement & had fuel gauge replaced again on 4/2/10... Once in a while when i put gas in my armada, it takes forever for the gas gauge to go up to where it's supposed to be (ie. I put $40 which should put it in 1/2 tank... I drove 5 miles before it actually got from 1/4 tank to 1/2 tank... I took pictures of this occurrence). |
