| Description of the problem | I have a 06 nissan frontier. Just after the 36k warranty the fuel sending unit went out. This causes the service engine light to come on not to mention the fuel gage doesn't work. I paid 400 to have this unit replace. However, they have a "newer part number" which proves they know about the problem. This just isn't fair especially the vehicle on had 38k on it. Also, tailgate hinge problems. The right side hinge breaks. Something def wrong with how it was made as i had looked at several frontiers and 3 of them were broken. This needs to be looked at as well. Damages the tail gate when this happens and someone is going to get hurt. |
