| Description of the problem | 2005 nissan pathfinder. Check engine light came on after filling up with gas. The gas gauge reads empty and fuel light is on even though the tank is full. Called nissan told me this was a very common problem among nissan suv's but unfortunately there is no recall for my personal vehicle. I was told just to watch my mileage so as to not run out of gas or repair the fuel gauge sensor @ an estimated cost of $600. If this is a well known problem why can't the consumer get any help? |
