Description of the problem	I had less than 1/4 of a tank of gas, when the service engine soon light came on. On my way home, i stopped by auto zone and had the code checked. It came up with po463, which indicated the fuel sending sensor. I immediately stopped and filled up. The gauge appeared to go to full. Upon searching the internet i found this is a common problem and was recalled on several nissan models between 2000-2004. I talked to the dealer, but since my 5 year warranty expired this month and i have 63,000 miles on my xterra, the repair wouldn't be covered. The cost of repair would be around $600 - $700. I decided to just keep up with my mileage to make sure i don't run out of gas. Since then i have driven 270 miles. The service engine soon light went off around 200 miles, but i am still nervous that the unit is malfunctioning and it could reoccur. My complaint is that if this problem was recalled in previous models, and it was considered a safety hazard that could result in a major traffic accident, why isn't is being recalled on the 2005-2007 models?
