| Description of the problem | There is a recall listed for 2006 nissan frontiers where the gas gauge drops to 1/4 tank when filled, and the service engine light comes on. "the molded shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel is empty." when i called nissan north america they looked up my vin and said it was not from a "batch of cars that are covered". Are you kidding? Please address this with nissan... |
