| Description of the problem | my 2006 nissan pathfinder had been having fuel gauge problems for several weeks. Finally after the annoyance became too much, we took it to the nissan dealer. We were told that there was a known problem with the fuel gauge assembly that involved a recall. Unfortunately for us, we missed the recall by less than four months. My complaint is that nissan knew there was a problem, then arbitrarily chose a date when the recall would end that would satisfy the nhtsa, but not fully cover the period when this problem could arise. Limiting this recall by date can prove to be extremely prejudicial to the customer that purchases the vehicle later in the year; for example, purchasing the car in november 2006 versus january 2006 would place the consumer at an eleven month disadvantage. *tt |
