| Description of the problem | After filling up the tank and getting back on the highway, i noticed my gas gauge was reading i had 1/4 tank and my tachometer was flashing dashes all the way across. I pulled off the highway and checked to see if my gas cap was on and it was. The vehicle was running fine so i continued on my way. Eventually, the gas gauge moved to the full position and my tachometer began to keep the miles to empty, but not accurately. Once i got home, i researched online and found a recall for my vehicle. Campaign id 10v075000. I've contacted nissan 4 different times and no one is willing to help me with this matter. My vehicle's gas gauge will not go below 1/4 tank. I've already run out of gas twice because i forgot to keep track. Running out of gas on us hwy 275 south in rush hour traffic is not fun. I was lucky that i didn't cause an accident. What do i need to do to have my vehicle fixed? |
