| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2006 nissan pathfinder. Upon purchasing the vehicle, the contact noticed that the check engine light was illuminated. She was informed that the fuel gauge sensor needed to be replaced. She stated that the fuel gauge indicator needle remains on the empty symbol, even when fuel is in the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer two weeks later to have it repaired. The dealer informed her that the cause of failure was a short in the cluster and the part had to be ordered from puerto rico. The part arrived a week and a half later and the dealer replaced the cluster. One week later, the odometer began to display the incorrect mileage. The odometer was later repaired. Two weeks later, the vehicle began making a loud squeaking noise as soon as it was started. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed that the cause of failure was the tension belt. The dealer replaced the belt, but later discovered that the part was defective. The belt was replaced again, but the dealer was unsure if the replacement part would be defective as well. The vin, engine size, number of cylinders, speed, and powertrain were unknown. The current mileage was 12,566 and failure mileage was 693. |
