Description of the problem	My nissan xterra is having a fuel gauge/sensor problem which results in the driver having no idea how much fuel is in the gas tank. This is a very common problem on nissan xterras, pathfinders and frontiers. All one needs to do is an internet search to see how common this problem is. Nissan has not issued a recall and will not cooperate with me in getting this fixed. The cost of the repair is between $300-500 (most of which is labor) and a vehicle can not pass inspection if they have this problem. I have already run out of gas in a not so nice area while going 55 mph and controlling the vehicle/getting it to the side of the road was difficult when it was out of gas. I was fearful of not only the difficulty in handling/dealing with the vehicle in a safe manner so as to not cause an accident but imagine my surprise that was out of gas and i could not tell because of the faulty sensor not indicating actually how much gas was in the car. I was fearful for my safety because this happened on a highway in a not so nice area in the metro nyc area. All one needs to do is an internet search on nissan fuel gauge or sensor problems and will see many complaints about this issue. Nissan has recalled earlier models for this same issue but has not recalled any vehicles from 2005 on for this defective problem. A nissan mechanic at a local dealership told me that this was a common problem on xterras, pathfinders and frontiers and wished me good luck in getting nissan to fix it under a recall since he thought it was highly unlikely that nissan would do anything about it. I have contacted nissan consumer affairs about this issue and they were not helpful at all. They basically told me that nissan will not repair this issue since there is no recall on it even though this is a very common problem on their vehicles.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
