| Description of the problem | 10 months ago my 05 nissan frontier had the check engine light come on. Turns out is was the fuel sensor. Now the fuel sensor doesn't work. I have researched this and it is a very common problem for frontiers, xterras, and pathfinders. I have found literally hundreds of complaints, and nissan is aware of the problem, yet still no recall. In addition to the $90 diagnostic, we are being quoted $400 to have it repaired. This is a serious concern because the fuel gauge will work fine ofr a while, then get stuck, making it impossible to know how much fuel you have. I have been stranded twice on the interstate. |
