| Description of the problem | We have a 2005 nissan xterra and am having the same fuel sensor issue as so many others. We fill up and the gas gauge does not register. The check engine light is on and this causes us to not pass emissions until it is fixed, which is a 600. 00+ issue since the gas tank needs removed to fix it. Very frustrating since a simple search of the web shows hundreds of nissans in or around 1 year difference with the exact same problem! Nissan recalls more than 500,000 vehicles regarding:fuel gauge problem, source of many complaints, being addressed i called my local nissan dealer, they reported that my 2005 xterra vin# wasn't part of the recall. |
