Description of the problem	Approximately 2 mo ago, the check engine light came on. I took it to my mechanic and was told that there was a failure within the fuel system. He said i would have to replace the entire system which would cost approximately $800 for the part and labor. He looked further into the issue since i told him that i don't actually notice a problem with my fuel gauge. I also did some research on my own and have discovered, like him, that many people are having the same problem as me. Some people actually do have errors with their fuel gauge and other don't, however the resulting issue has to do with a malfunction of the fuel system which is causing the problem. Nissan is well aware of the issue and there is a recall for certain 2006 and 2008 xterra and pathfinder vehicles. When i contacted the nissan #800, i was told that my vin does not qualify for any recalls---in spite of the company knowing about the issue, issuing a recall for the issue on the same year and model of my vehicle and my experiencing that exact issue. My family has been hit very hard by this economy like everyone else. I do not have $800 to pay to have an item fixed that is not my fault or normal maintenance but the fault of the manufacturing company. I also have 4 children that i transport using this vehicle. I worry that there might actually be or there will be something wrong with the fuel gauge and in that situation, my children and myself could be involved in an accident or stranded in the middle of no where. If the company is aware of an existing malfunction in their vehicle and thousands of people have complained about it, they should cover all necessary costs to fix the problem. Period. I hope that they will do what is right with your help.
