| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan xterra. The check engine light came on and the fuel reader is not functioning so i have no idea how much fuel i have. I hooked up a diagnostic to it and discovered a code that indicates a faulty fuel sensor. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and explained the problem. They made me go into nissan and have them diagnose it. They charged me $120 dollars and told me that the fuel sensor was faulty and it was going to cost $600 to replace. Nissan just recalled all xterras from 2006 to 2008 because of faulty fuel sensors. I found a website that has one hundred other owners of a 2005 xterra with the same problem. Nissan told me they could help me out by knocking off $250 from the $600. This is a safety issue that many are experiencing and i want to see if i can get some help. |
