| Description of the problem | Fuel sending sensor fails to register properly. Appears to be a known problem having done a google search. Gas gauge reads full then empty. Never sure how much fuel is in the vehicle. Not sure if there's a possibility the vehicle will think it's out of fuel at any given time. What if i'm driving down the road and the vehicle thinks there's no fuel? Nissan dealer says oh well. They want any where from $500 to a $1000 to fix, then there's not guarantee it will fix the problem? This is not right. |
