| Description of the problem | My 2005 nissan pathfinder's fuel level sensor stopped working while on a long distance trip. This caused us to pull over along a very busy highway and inspect the vehicle for the problem. We later learned that this is a huge problem that nissan created and is not willing to fix. As a full time law student living off of student loans (and unable to pay to have this huge issue fixed), my family has been forced to reset the mileage every time we fill up on gas in order to keep track of when we are likely out of gas. Not the most ideal situation for a mother of 4 young children driving around in the arizona heat. We thought we were buying quality when we purchased a nissan, however the opposite happened. |
