| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 nissan pathfinder se with 47000 miles. The fuel level sensor failed and the service engine light came on. I went to the dealership and paid $100. 00 to read the engine code and confirm the sending unit was at fault. They told me that this was a common problem and it cost $400. 00 dollars to fix. In this economy i am unable to afford this so i will have to postpone this fix. My concern is that if i or a family member forgets to check the mileage since the last fillup, this vehicle can shut down at hi speed and lose steering and brakes. I just found out that nissan issued a recall to fix this problem but limited it to a few vehicles manufactured during a few months from 2005-2007. My vehicle missed this small window by 2 months. |
