Description of the problem	Nissan's x-terra off-road edition model is experiencing fuel gauge failures at or after 45,000 miles. I have owned two identical vehicles, sold one, have one remaining that my mother drives. Both suv's have experienced identical fuel gauge failures. An internet search reveals that i am far from being alone in experiencing this issues as the pathfinder model is also seeing the same failures indicating there's a deeper problem here. The failures are starting to occur as early as 45,000 miles which is slightly outside the standard 36,000 mile warranty period. This in turn ends up putting the cost for repairing this defect back on the customer to the tune of $500 to $700. Much of this cost is due to the labor charge incurred in pulling off the fuel tank to access the sending unit. It is unreasonable to expect a fuel sender gauge failure at 45,000 miles as there are millions of vehicles on the road that do not experience this problem at all during their operational lifetimes. It is my sincere hope that the nhtsa will investigate and force nissan to replace this defective fuel sending gauge.
