Description of the problem	Our fuel sensory went out on our nissan xterra shortly before we reached 100000 miles. Nissan is aware of the problem and sent a letter out for a warranty only. However, the warranty included 2006 nissan xterras with less than 72000 miles on them. When i did research i found that over 80000 2006 nissan xterras were affected by this. I contacted nissan usa to have them resolve the issue of the fuel tank sensor and indicated i would like the defect fixed. They refused to fix it and indicated it would cost me a little over $400 to fix. I asked them for financial assistance since i do not have this to pay for the repair on top of my $433 a month a car payment. I recently had a baby and never know when my car is empty. The sensor no longer reads fuel levels and is constantly showing empty. I was up for emissions testing this year and can not pass emissions until the sensor has been replaced. I believe since this is such a wide spread issue that nissan should recall the part. Just this week my vehicle ran out of gas according to my speedometer i had 100 miles left on the tank it misread and i was stuck with my screaming 5 month old on the side on the road at night waiting for aaa to arrive . This wide spread problem needs to be addressed by nissan and not just shoved to the side. Way to many vehicles are affected for this to remain a warranty issue only!!!!! I have see the stats listed here on nhtsa. Campaign id # 10v075000.
