| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 nissan xterra. The truck starting having a fuel gauge problem, but i didn't think much of it because my car still was running. The problem started about 3 months ago 4/1/10 where i would put a full tank of gas and the fuel reader would show that is was still empty. About 3 days ago on 7/28/10 i was about to get freeway, thank god that i had not get on freeway way when out of a sudden the truck starting shaking and then eventually died. I was stuck a traffic lights for about 10 mins. I tried to start it again and pushed gas but still no luck. Until a 3rd time tried it and then it started. When this happened i realized i had to take it to the dealer. I took it to my expert mechanic and the said it was a control modulator and told me that is was going to be $1,000. 00. At this point in my life i am not able to afford that, but i need my vehicle running. Please advise what can we do and if there will be a recall. I also saw there are many more complaints about this and this can be dangerous for anyone that owns a nissan xterra 2005. |
