Description of the problem	I own a 2005 nissan xterra. My check engine light came on about 2 months ago. I used a code reader to read the problem and it stated it was the fuel level sensor failing. I cleared the code from the computer and filled my gas tank and the levels seemed half way accurate. The check engine light came on once more just recently. After much research, i have found it to be a faulty fuel sensor gauge that is an all in one fuel pump, filter, and sensor unit. Feel free to research this yourself. Nissan has had fuel pump and filter issues with 2005+ truck/ suv models. I believe they recalled them in the eastern us, but not here in the west. It appears to me that it is a defective part on the car. They claim it is not covered under warranty and is a "wear and tear" item. This is ridiculous! It is a part that should last over 125k miles... But not. They need to fix the problem they created. It will cost me $600 dollars to fix it! In this economy its impossible for me! Basically you can run out of fuel anywhere at any time if the sensor is not functioning correctly. This can cause an accident or cause you to get stranded in a bad part of town. Both of which are life threatening.
