Description of the problem	In the past month i have experienced a series of anomalies with my fuel gauge. I initially noticed this when i completely refilled my gas tank only to notice that the gauge showed 7/8ths full. It seemed odd, but i didn't think it was an issue as the pump may have automatically shut off prematurely. Turns out to not be the case. On my next trip to the gas station, upon refilling the gas tank, my gauge only read a half tank. Upon my next trip in the vehicle, the gauge read properly. However, subsequent trips the gauge read sometimes more than it should and sometimes less than it should. For example, after going 78 miles the gauge still read "full", and then after going 96 miles the gauge read "half full". After refilling the gas tank this last time, the gauge read 3/4 of a tank. The next trip the gauge read "full". Subsequent trips the gauge reads sometimes more than it should and sometimes less than it should. The last couple of trips the gauge showed the same amount each time even though i have driven more than 60 miles. I took my vehicle to the nearest nissan dealer (where i've had service performed before) to check for a recall as i had heard there were vehicles with this same issue. Apparently, nissan has issued the recall for "some" models and years but not for mine. They offered to "diagnose" the problem, for their usual shop fee naturally. You should be aware that this issue is not limited to the model years allowed in the recall. I have been reading on online forum with many 2005 xterras that are experiencing this same issue. I am less than pleased with the response from the dealership. I should not have to pay to diagnose a known problem; much less pay to have it fixed. I am issuing this complaint in hopes that you will do the right thing and realize the extent of this problem and include the 2005 model year in the existing recall.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
