| Description of the problem | Yesterday mile fuel light came on. I stopped after work and filled up the gas tank. When i started my car, the fuel gauge was still showing empty and the fuel light was on. This morning, i got in my car to head to work and the service engine soon light came on and stayed. When researching on internet, i saw that this was a grossly common problem. I also saw that a recall had been place on a couple of nissans from 2006-2008 for this exact problem. When calling my local dealership they inform me that my vin is not included in the recall. It seems to me that your gas gauge is improperly functioning, and your car is the same year and style, all the vehicles should be fixed. No exceptions!!!! This can be very dangerous and should be fixed. Any car that has this problem, no matter what the vin, has received the same faulty pieces! |
