Description of the problem	I noticed last summer that when i gassed my nissan xterra up that the gas gauge would not show it being full and after visiting my local nissan dealership it was diagnosed that it was a faulty fuel sensor error code p0463 and since i had over 75,000 miles on my xterra at the time nissan would not pay to repair it and that i had the option to pay for the repair myself which is well over 300 hundred dollars . I was also told by the dealership this was a known defect for 2005 and 2006 xterra pathfinders etc. I have since found out that there was a nhtsa campaign recall on this id # 10v075000. I have since looked this up and found that this only covered xterras with certain vins and i'm not sure if my xterra is one of these vins. I also found it only covered it up to 75,000 miles which of course doesn't help me since the fuel sensor broke after 75,000 miles. This has been a very annoying problem for me for the last year and although i haven't run out of gas yet i've been close and i'm sure its only a matter of time before it will and then it will a safety issue for me. I recently contacted nissan and talked to one of their representatives [xxx] at 1-800-343-6913 ext [xxx] and was told because i have over 105,000 miles on my xterra now that nissan would not pay to have it fixed and it was my problem. I feel that this a very known defect that nissan knows about and has only halfway tried to resolve ie only covers xterras with certain vins and up to 75,000 miles which shouldn't matter. It still is a defective part that i don't consider a wear and tear part and mileage vins shouldn't matter. I think nissan should pay to have the fuel sensor fixed and mileage vins shouldn't matter they need to stand behind their products and correct their mistakes as this is a potential safety issue. I would appreciate any help in getting this issue resolved thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
