| Description of the problem | 2006 nissan frontier xe 4 cylinder manual trans. At approximately 35,000 miles my fuel gauge stopped working after filling up, and read empty. The check engine light came on immediately. The fuel gauge began behaving erratically, sometimes reading correctly without the check engine light on, but always malfunctioning at approximately half tank, causing the check engine light to come on. Then it ceased to function at all with the check engine light remaining on. Nissan of santa rosa told me it would not be covered under my q certified power train warranty 100,000 miles or 2 years. Nissan told me it was a problem with the fuel delivery system, and the sensor inside the gas tank needed replacement, at my charge. Also, i cannot have my evap emissions system recall work performed until the fuel delivery system problem is fixed. As a result i cannot complete my vehicle registration for this year. I demand a recall of the fuel delivery system for the 2006 nissan frontier. Thank you. |
