| Description of the problem | Fuel level gauge failed at approximately 76k miles. Received code po 461 indicating sensor failure. Currently using odometer to keep from running out of gas while driving. Noted recall 10v075000 apparently covers this exact problem but 2007 model year not included. Service bulletin ntb-07-069c also notes issue of defective oem part used by nissan in manufacture of vehicle, but only recourse is to replace at owner's expense. Note over 150 separate complaints under various categories for this identical problem. Seems like a valid safety issue requiring a voluntary recall by nissan for affected vehicles or a mandatory recall by nhtsa. |
