| Description of the problem | On a regular morning of commuting my children to their school, suddenly my check engine light illuminated, and my gas gauge immediately went to empty with gas light on, i knew i had gas in the vehicle, so i didn't worry right offlater i did stop at a local mechanics shop and let them perform a diagnostics test on the vehicle and was quoted that the fuel sensor needed replacing. I filed a complaint with nissan file#[xxx] and was told that my vehicle was not part of the recall, i also called a local nissan dealership and they confirmed what i was told about not being a part of the recall, but i was also told to just bring the vehicle in for diagnostics which cost 100. 00 dollars and is alot of money for a single mother of five who was recently laid off, he also stated there was an extension on the recall miles up to 75000, i am just a basket case right now since its time for tag renewal plus im unemployed plus car note plus insurance, and no repairs...............
