| Description of the problem | Vehicles fuel system is faulty. I noticed that the gas gauge reads empty after having a full tank of gas, additionally the digital "distance to empty" display does not work properly. At times the low gas indicator will be displayed even after i filled the tank up. I have been in two different situations where i ran out of gas on the highway thinking that i had enough gas for my journey. This is a major safety hazard. Nissan replaced the parts on 2006 & 2007 vehicles but refuse to replace my 2005 device quoting that it has high miles and out of warranty. |
