| Description of the problem | I parked in my driveway which has a slight hill. I went to move the vehicle and it would not start. The minivan was out of gas, though the gas gauge indicated 1/4 tank. The dealer quoted me $880 to replace the fuel pump assembly after diagnostics. I thought it was waaayyy too much to pay, but i had a road trip coming up and bought parts from the local auto store to reduce the cost. As with so many other complaints i've seen on the internet, the gauge did not work after the replacement. Before and directly after the repair, the gauge read 1/4 tank when it was empty, so i just filled up early. Since then, my routine has changed and so has the gauge. The other day i filled up when it read 1/2 tank. However, i put 16. 5 gallons in the tank. This should have been below the e mark! I'm afraid my children and i will be stranded or wreck one day as i can't possible tell when i need gas. I have contacted the dealer and the only suggestion they have is to bring it back and let them look at it again. Since other nissan models have been recalled for the same issue, i can't imagine that paying them to diagnose it again will help! |
