| Description of the problem | Fuel gauge stopped working, making it impossible to tell how much gas is in the tank. This is dangerous and a huge inconvenience requiring me to fill up way before necessary to avoid have the truck run out of gas in the middle of the freeway. There was a recall, but my vin didn't qualify. This is a much bigger problem than nissan is acknowledging. They need to extend the recall to all vehicles with this fuel system design. |
