| Description of the problem | I was leaving a store and gas light came on. I knew that i had fill up before entering the i-95 interstate and i was a bit perplexed. I drove to a gas station and filled up once again and notice that the gas gauge filled to its capacity. This occurred a few months ago and i dismissed it. On 9/19/13, i stopped at a gas station and the check engine light came on. On 9/20/13 i took the vehicle to the dealership for a diagnostic check and was told that i needed a fuel sending unit which would cost me $1,087 which includes parts and labor. Of course, i decline to repair it because at that time i was frustrated with nissan and was thinking about trading in the car. Previously, i took the vehicle back on two occasions for transmission problems which i was grateful that it was under warranty. The dealership replaced the transmission and treated this incident an occurring problem with 09 rogue. I only have this vehicle for 1. 5 years and i am fearful each time that i drive. Even the triple a young man told me to get rid of it because within the last month he has to tow quite a few. My commute on interstate each day is worrisome because i don't know what is going to happen next. Now i am stuck with a new problem with this vehicle that i am still paying for and spending more money on gas because i don't know what can happen . Please we must do something with this company nissan. I placed a complaint today 9/23/13 and was told they would call me back since they don't have any information with this type of recall. (liars) they are lots of complaints about the fuel sending unit on nissans. I am not certain if i will continue to make payments on a car that i truly feel unsafe with or write off my loss and look for another vehicle. Either way, i had to write this complaint since i have never felt so unsafe driving a vehicle. |
