Description of the problem	The fuel gauge on my '05 xterra read e after fill up. After ecm reset event recurred several times. On two occasions engine shut down while leaving my driveway. Mistakenly, i attributed this to bad fuel and/or cold engine. That is until yesterday, during rush hour at 60mph the engine cut off in heavy traffic. Narrowly escaping a major accident, this would have involved multiple cars. I mercifully coasted to the shoulder of the interstate. I turned off the ignition waited a few minutes and tried to restart. I repeated this procedure until on the fourth attempt it restarted and i made it to work. The engine shut off as i was leaving work that day also. After a diagnostic and simple query on the internet, i found my p0463 code to be related the fuel sending unit, a well known and all too common issue. In fact a relevant service bulletin was issued by nissan. Moreover, a recall was issued for earlier model xterras. Frequency of this issue and my safety concerns have progressively worsening. I refuse to transport my children in the vehicle. (imagine an engine shut down while turning left with oncoming traffic.) though nissan customer care and my dealer indicate no recall has been issued, i am working with both the resolve. To me $26,000 is a substantial purchase, and commensurate product quality and customer support is expected. Absent nissan standing behind its product, the estimated dealer repair cost is $500+. The potential cost of not repairing the fuel sending unit on any affected nissan vehicle is immeasurable.
