| Description of the problem | Nissan acknowledged that the fuel gauge sending unit in model years 2004-08 was faulty, causing the unit to send faulty information on fuel levels and causing the check engine light to come on. They offered an extended warranty to repair the problem, but when i contacted them, they said my vin# wasn't covered - even though it is the year model affected with the problem. No such restriction on vin# s is presented on their websites. It is only after i tried to get the problem repaired that they denied covering it, even though it is a known defect. I appealed all the way to corporate and got nowhere. I believe they are simply trying to dodge paying for a repair that is their own manufacturing fault. |
