| Description of the problem | While researching a transmission issue on my 2006 nissan pathfinder, my husband came across recall #10v075000 for the fuel level sensor for 2006 pathfinders. After all the transmission/radiator repairs were completed (another issue that nissan was well aware of but has not remedied) my check engine light came on and i took it to an auto parts store to have the code read. They put it on a code reader and told me it was the fuel level sensor. I contacted my local nissan dealership to bring my car in to have the repair done. I was told that the recall was not associated with my vin and that the repair would have to be paid for out of my pocket. I then contacted nissan north america where i was told to take my car into a nissan dealership: 1) ask for a diagnostic code on the part 2) get the name of the service advisor and dealership 3) get an estimated cost of repair/replacement and i was given a case number. I made an appointment and had all of those things accomplished. I then called back and gave nissan all the required information and was told they would call me back with a decision. 2 days later someone from consumer affairs called me back and told me that nissan would not pay for the repair since my vin is not associated with the recall. I asked to speak with that person |
