| Description of the problem | Mr. , president & ceo nissan motor co., ltd. P. O. Box 685003 franklin tn 37064 dear sir; i am writing to you today to complain about a problem with my 2006 nissan frontier club cab. A couple of weeks ago at about 54000 miles my check engine light came on, and the gas gauge started to malfunction. I had my personal mechanic check the codes, and it came back as a failed fuel level sending unit. I called my local dealer where i purchased it and was told that it was not going to be covered under the warranty. It would be covered if it was the fuel pump under the drive train but it was the fuel pump, but the sensor that was bad. I think that is a very bad business decision considering the current business climate. I have been a very loyal nissan customer for the past 25 years starting with my first new pickup in 1985, i then had two 1987 sentra's, then a 300 zx, and now my frontier club cab. I have been extremely happy with all up until now! I have now done much research on the issue, including your technical bulletin ntb07-069a. Where you state |
