| Description of the problem | I will have 1/4 of a tank of gas and suddenly the gauge will drop way past empty. My car just stops which can be very dangerous because you have no warning of sudden stop after the vehicle doesn't get any fuel. After researching this issue i have found that many people are having this same problem due to a faulty unit. I also understand there was a recall for this same issue with the 2000-2004 nissans. This is clearly a defect on nissan's part! |
