| Description of the problem | Was exiting a highway and slowing to a stop. Traffic began to move so i pressed the gas pedal. The car hesitated then stalled. I was in center lane and had to cross another lane of traffic to get to the shoulder with no power steering and trying not to hit brakes so i didn't unintentionally block traffic. My gas gauge showed just over a quarter tank and the mileage showed 77 miles to empty. I was able to get 2 gallons of gas and it started right up. Went to fill it up at the nearest gas station and it took 19 gallons to fill. This is a 20. 1 gallon tank. This was the third such occurrence with the exact same scenario. I had it addressed previously at the dealership, but was told that there was no fault found. After this latest incident, i was told the fuel sending unit/fuel pump had to be replaced at a cost of appx $750 dollars! Not happy!!!... Updated 04-10-14 *bf there were no dash lights to indicate a problem. No check engine light. No low level fuel light. The first two times, i took it to nissan to be looked at, there were no fault codes. It was not until the third time, that they finally were able to see a fault code. Shortly thereafter, i did get a check engine light after filling my gas tank. I took it back to nissan for troubleshooting and they got the same fault code for the fuel sending unit. Just about every time, i fill the tank, the check engine light comes on for the same reason. Updated 06/03/14 |
