| Description of the problem | Now my vehicle will not pass state inspection due to faulty fuel sending unit - the faulty fuel send unit cause check engine light to stay on and does not properly show fuel level in vehicle if a vehicle can not pass inspection, due to a faulty manufacturer part under voluntary recall info from nissan website nissan fuel sending unit warranty extension nissan has extended the nissan new vehicle limited warranty for the fuel sending unit on certain nissan frontier, pathfinder, and xterra models. Nissan is extending your vehicle's new vehicle limited warranty as it applies to the fuel gauge sending unit from 36 months 36,000 miles to 72 months 72,000 miles. Please note that this is not a safety recall, and there are no safety issues relating to your fuel sending unit shouldn't this be considered a safety recall (faulty fuel gauge) - it definitely has nothing to do with emissions? Nissan has not provided any assistance and has even refused partial compensation for this repair over $350 to fix any advice on how to drivers/consumers like myself?? I will have to foot the bill to be in compliance with ncdmv rules without any recourse against nissan - failure due to known faulty nissan part/design seems unfair! I have been chasing this for over a year! Last year light was intermittent when it first occurred - now it stays on full time. Can nissan be forced to make this a safety recall?? Since my vehicle will not pass local safety. |
