Description of the problem	Noticed check engine light on dash was on but detected no issues and unemployed so didn't run down to nissan to pay them $600 to turn out a light. Needed tx inspection sticker about 4 days ago went to get one at nearby jiffy lube and they denied because of "safety or emissions issues" on a code "p0463:fuel level sensor circuit high input". I got home and researched and found that is was quite common problem with xterras and pathfinders. So common in fact, that previous generation nissans were actually recalled for a similar issue. The sensor is in the gas tank and only checks the accuracy of the gas gauge. Unfortunately, no recall has been placed on the part for the 2nd gen yet, and so nissan customers are being forced to have the dealer make the repair to the tune of about $600. What a racket. And without the repair i can't get my inspection sticker, when the worst that can happen is to run out of gas because the gas gauge may not show the correct level in the tank. My gauge is working fine. Since when is even a possible gas gauge problem a "safety and emissions" hazard anyway? Racket. The guy at jiffy lube told me it might be sending to much gas thru the engine. What? A blatant lie. So apparently, the system has it that this unemployed person, with barely enough to survive has to either risk a big costly ticket for no inspection sticker or line nissan's pockets with money i need to feed my family for a faulty part that they have even recalled the prior version of already when my vehicle runs good as it ever did and the gas gauge is working just fine. This is just wrong on so many levels and an injustice and apparently, you folks are the only ones that can bring justice to this situation by forcing them to recall that part they can't seem to get right before they rob more good americans of their limited resources in the racket they have going.

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.
