| Description of the problem | Filled my 2006 frontier with gas one day and the "service engine" came on. The next day the gauge did not register amount of fuel in tank. The following week i refilled again and gauge did not register properly. I then drove around for an hour and it eventually registered full again. Took to local nissan dealer and they did a scan and it revealed it had a faulty fuel level sender. The repair was completed about 2 months prior to recall being announced. I checked with the dealer and one service advisor said they would reimburse my cost, once the actual recall letters were sent out. Since then the dealer says the recall for the fuel sender does not apply to my truckand will not reimburse me. I called the 1-800 nissan number and they say my truck is not covered . However the service bulletin say "2005-2007 frontier - all". |
