| Description of the problem | There was no specific event leading up to failure; i purchased my certified pre-owned '05 xterra 4 months ago and drove it up until yesterday without problem. When i turned on my vehicle after work, my "service engine soon" light was on. I stopped to fill up with gas on my way home, and noticed my gas gauge would not pass the 3/4 tank position. Eventually, after driving about 50 miles or so, my gas gauge (sometimes) returns to its normal position. The "service engine soon" light always remains on. At this point, no corrective measures have been taken. But in doing my research, all signs point towards this being a fuel sending unit problem that is common in both 01-04 nissan vehicles (for which there was a recall) and 05-present nissan vehicles (for which there has been no recall). |
