Description of the problem	I drive a 2005 nissan xterra and have 27,100 miles on it. When the car hit 26,000 miles, the "service engine soon" light came on. I had the car looked at by my mechanic and he said that there was a defect in the fuel sensor line which doesn't register the amount of gas being used. The gas gauge is extremely erratic and i don't know how much gas i have. I've been stuck a couple times because the car ran out of gas and the fuel gauge said that i had half a tank. This is a dangerous issue because there are usually passengers in the vehicle (small children) and to have to pull a car over on a highway because it ran out of gas is quite a problem, especially if i have to lug children out of the car and walk the highway looking for a gas station. I've read online where numerous people have complained about the exact same issue. Why would something like this not be recalled? How may people have to die or become seriously injured before something is recalled? Please, please look at this issue and hopefully resolve before someone's life is either ended because of death or injury. Thank you.
