| Description of the problem | Service engine soon light came on while driving recently. I researched possibilities on cause and discovered via the internet this was typical of this make/model/year and that the fuel level sensor and sending unit had issues. Nissan info on recalls indicates that about 74,000 vehicles of this type/year had that problem and were being recalled. I took it to the gresham, or nissan dealer on oct 17, 2012 and after a check up was advised mine wasn't part of the recall. That will be $451 to replace. I declined and appealed with nissan - case #[xxx]. [xxx], at nissan, 1800-647-7261 x [xxx] says nissan can't help me. Oct 29, 2012 very convenient on their part and frustrating on my part! Can you help? Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
