| Description of the problem | I own a 2006 nissan pathfinder, bought it to my dealer (countyline nissan --ct) to replace a recall fuel tank that may send incorrect reading to the instrumental panel fuel gauge. After 3 visits in one week to this dealer to correct this problem; tonight i am now looking at a 4th visit because today my fuel indicator dropped from a quarter tank to empty with seconds while on the highway. I have seen fill the tank, but still showing empty. I am soooooo frustrated, because, i have to take another day off to fix this problem. I feel hopeless because i seem t have no recourse, i am stuck at going to a dealership that offers no recourse, even though it is obvious that they are not doing something right, i am stuck in a cycle with not even a loner car, until they figure out the problem. I feel unsafe driving this vehicle and i do not know what else to do. |
