| Description of the problem | Known issue with fuel system (nhtsa id # 10v075000) nissan acknowledges problems but put mileage limit on dealer paid repair. (approximately 1300 miles over) apparently defective manufacture issues have time limits regardless of safety issue associated with this. Intermittent problems caused delays in identifying this issue. This is a major safety issue that should not have been timetabled,inaccurate and then failure of the fuel gauge. This is a failure of both nissan and the nhtsa to allow mileage to be the determining factor in limiting our safety. |
