| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan frontier that has a fault code of po463. Nissan has recalled the 2006-08 vehicles with this faulty fuel level sending unit. They are refusing to repair mine because it is a 2005 and are refusing to accept responsibility for an obvious defective part. There are hundreds of people like me with the identical problem that are having to spend in excess of $600. 00. This is a serious safety issue as well. I have ran out of gas twice because i thought i had enough fuel when infact i did not. My son was driving it to college at college on august 21st when he thought he had fuel when the truck was empty. I'm afraid to think what would happen should the vehicle run out in the middle of an intersection. Please with your help and persuasion, we can get nissan corporation to repair all affected vehicles. Thank you |
