Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Traveling at 65 mph when the vehicle ran out of gas. The fuel gauge indicated that there was between 1/4 and 1/8 of a tank remaining and the low fuel warning light had not come on. Multiple attempts to restart the engine were unsuccessful. Upon adding 1. 5 gallons of fuel the vehicle re-started on the first try so it was definitely out of gas. Nissan has a recall for this very issue but i was told it does not cover my vin# although it is for some vehicles of my make and model year. I paid to have the fuel sensor in the gas tank repaired and the problem went away immediately and has not resurfaced. Nissan may need to expand their recall as my vehicle definitely experienced the symptoms of the recalled vehicles. |
