| Description of the problem | I was driving home on the expressway hwy 75 south downtown atlanta ga and all of a sudden my truck just stopped running. I manage to cost to the side of the expressway. After several attempts to restart the truck i called for help. Had the truck town to a local shop only to find out that it ran out of gas. The culprit a faulty fuel gauge a known issue with the 2007 frontier models. I contacted nissan to have it replace but i was told that since i was over 72000 miles that i would have to replace it the cost to me. I will never buy another nissan as long as i live i almost got ran over trying to get the truck to the side of the roadway. My fuel gauge was reading 1/2 of tank of gas. This should be a safety recall. I know that it will not be considered one until someone is killed as a result of this issue and this is very sad especially since nissan has known about the issue since day one. |
