| Description of the problem | Was in traffic and fuel level gauge was at 1/4 tank. I decided to stop at my usual gas station to fill up. I completely filled the tank and then when i went to leave i noticed the fuel gauge didn't go back up to full. It took over 30 miles for it to finally go back up to full and the check engine light came on. Ever since then fuel gauge doesn't go down past 1/4 tank and if i don't use my trip odometer to gauge how many miles i have gown i would run out of gas! I found numerous complaints about the same problem from other owners and found a recall on this problem. Also found where nissan refuses to fix the problem under recall/warranty. I contacted nissan with my vin number and they said my car was not one of the recalls. Then i asked for a list of the vin numbers for all the pathfinders recalled for this and they said they could not give out that information. I told them i wanted visual proof that my car was not one of the recalls since i have the problem with my car. Again they refused to provide this. Nissan should be liable and be made to back this problem recall with my nissan pathfinder! Do not bye a nissan product cause they do not back their products and pay for recalls. |
