| Description of the problem | Service engine soon light came on and the fuel gauge started going wacky and ultimately showed empty eventhough i had 1/2 tank of gas. Light would not go out, so i researched the issue on the internet and found that it is a known issue on my nissan truck. There is even a service bulletin out on it. So, off i went and took it into my nissan service department and they said the code p0463 was a fuel sensing unit that they would repair for over $350. I see this as a safety issue, since my wife drives the truck and if she is unable to correctly determine how much fuel is in the truck she runs the risk of running out of gas in traffic or maybe even in an unsafe neighborhood. |
