| Description of the problem | In 3/2017 i received nhtsa safety recall no. 10v-075 from nissan north america. I took the vehicle in on 3/31/2017 for this work to be performed knowing this was a very important safety recall involving the gas tank float. After the work was performed the fuel gauge gives false readings: when the gauge reaches about 1/2 full it drops to empty and the "distance to empty" computer says 12 miles left until running out of gas. When filling up with with the gauge reading empty and 12 dte the tank will only accept 12 gallons and it's a 21. 1 gallon capacity tank. I took the vehicle in to scott clark nissan in charlotte, nc 4/12/2017 and 6/28/2017. I've also filed a formal case/complaint with nissan north america: 27312766. Nissan is refusing to fix the issue even though the malfunction was a result of the safety recall work. This poses a very serious safety issue as we do not know if/when the vehicle will run out of fuel. Again, i've tried to work with scott clark nissan in charlotte, nc and nissan north american in good faith to get this issue resolved. They are refusing to take responsibility for their safety recall making the vehicle less safe after the work was performed. Attached please find a letter to the chairman of nissan north american, jose munoz and the ups delivery confirmation. |
