| Description of the problem | Defective fuel gauge sensor. Was not aware that there was a recall period to have sensor checked out and fixed for free. Grace period has expired and dealership which is lokey nissan now wants to charge us nearly $700 dollars to fix. If we had known about this defect earlier via any type of communication, we would have had vehicle checked out. Since we purchased this vehicle from said dealership, we would have expected some sort of notice concerning this flaw. We have had our share of problems that should not have occurred with such low mileage, but this is over the top. *js |
