| Description of the problem | Fuel sending unit is faulty, causing truck to stall on a major highway twice with no warning (while showing there was still gas, but tank empty). Driving with my 5 year old son and almost being crashed into because of this hazard. Nissan had a recall out on few vin #'s in which mine was supposedly not included. Nissan says they are not obligated to do anything about this problem which seems to be common with this vehicle when i look it up. The repair costs around $600 to fix. My truck has failed inspection because of this issue, so now in order for me to drive and not be pulled over, i have to somehow gather $600 together to fix this. I'm a single parent who cannot afford to fix this, and as i see all over the internet, many people have had to replace this same part multiple times on the same vehicle. Doesn't sound proper to me when it's a safety hazard. |
