| Description of the problem | First of all, this is related to nhtsa action number pe14012. I just got off the phone with nissan and was told that there is no program or fix available for the problem. You closed this investigation on january 13, 2015 based on nissan telling the nhtsa that they were going to do something to rectify the issue. It is now july 15, 2015, 4 months after i was told by nissan consumer affairs that they would have a fix by july. I believe that nissan lied to you to get you off their backs. Their fix so far is to tell me that i need to fill up the gas tank when it is half full.... In a day and age when every car has a red light that comes on, this is ridiculous for me to have to watch my gas gauge or mileage in order not to run out of gas when at full speed! This is a safety issue. I had the vehicle stop on my in the middle of a very busy intersection... Other cars had to slam on brakes and since i was making a turn in a space of oncoming traffic... They had to swerve to avoid me! My wife also had it cut out on her, but fortunately was just pulling into a station to fill up. Please reopen this investigation to put nissan on notice. They are doing nothing. I even offered to my dealership to pay to have this fixed and they couldn't do it because there aren't parts available. Nissan lied to you. Get 'em! I am going to send a copy of this to senator johnny isakson and congressmen rob woodall, tom price, lynn westmoreland, jody hice, doug collins, barry loudermilk, david scott, austin scott and tom graves. All of whom are personal friends of mine. Thanks for your attention to this matter. |
