| Description of the problem | I filled up my gas tank and it didn't register a few days later the check engine light came on i took it to the dealership who informed me that my warranty expired a month ago and i was almost 1,000 miles over the warranty limitation. So because of this i would have to pay anywhere from $400-$800, which i don't have we're in a recession. Also while i was driving to nursing school one morning the 2005 pathfinder i was driving just stopped in the midst of morning rush hour traffic in the dead of a cold blistering winter morning. Later that day i took the vehicle to firestone who gave me a printout to take to the nissan dealership for the fuel sensor problem that seems to be apparent in this model as well as others. Again nissan wasn't willing to fix this problem. I pray that you guys can help us nissan owners who have invested our hard earned money into a vehicle of this type which by the way isn't a cheap vehicle, to alleviate this problem by asking nissan to take ownership of the faulty products that they're selling so that we don't have an additional out-of-pocket expense because of a problem that is truly no fault of our own. Obviously this is a safety issue and problem because my vehicle didn't pass inspection. So please help us millions of consumers who are having this problem get corrected through nissan its the right thing to do since this problem existed in other models and previous models they should make a better product or correct the problem as they occur. Nissan is a reputable company and unlike other automobile dealerships they're doing quite well so they can afford to keep us as customers happy by correcting their fuel system problems. |
