| Description of the problem | The fuel gauge will not read correctly and the service engine soon light stays on! Ex. If my low fuel light is on and i go fill up the truck, it still reads that i need gas and this is a constant problem! The gauge never reads the gas level correctly! I have already ran out of gas once due to the faulty gauge, so i now have to figure it out via mileage! The gauge was working just fine, and one day this just happened! I have been putting up with it for nearly two years and enough is enough! I have looked online and it turns out that this is an extremely common problem with nissan frontier's! Now the oil pressure gauge always reads that the oil pressure is high, when that is not the case! So i now wouldn't know if it was high or not, which if it was it could cause my engine to blow out and cause a crash! |
