| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan frontier - gas gauge was not working, and not showing that i had gas in my tank. Then it began giving me problems, misfiring while driving and "service engine soon" light appears. I took it to a nissan dealership who told me that the fuel level sensor a circuit high input needed replacing. Since i was not under warranty, i had to replace fuel sending unit. My job at the time, required me to drive alot, though the car was barely two years old. I had over 30,000 miles. Still, the problem cost me over $800!!!! And in all respects, it was a problem with a defective part - not because i drive it. I am sorry i ever bought this vehicle - i should have bought a honda element (my wife's car) she has never had a mechanical problem in the four years she has had the car. Nissan makes a trash pickup. Disgruntled and frustrated over nissan's incapability to produce a better vehicle, and replace faulty parts. They obviously need the money! |
