Description of the problem	At 49,000 miles my fuel gauge dropped to empty and my service engine light went on. It has been erratic ever since, mostly reading empty. I had a friend check out the engine light code and it said it was po462, po463 which is the fuel sending unit. I went on the internet and found a service bulletin out on this problem. The issue has never gone away and continues today. I never know how much fuel i have in my tank except i keep track on the odometer how far i have traveled. I have run out of gas a few times on the road not knowing i was about to run out of gas. I also discovered many other people have the same issue. Nissan wants over $700 to fix it. I thought the part was covered under the fuel california emission control warranty and was told no. I went back to a nissan dealer as i have in the past to see if a recall has been issued and found out recently there was. But when the dealer checked my vin number they said my xterra was just out side the range of vins that were covered. The service bulletin says all-2005-2008 xterras applied vins. I have an 2006. Why is mine excluded?? Also i am not able to get my car smoged in my state with the engine light on. Currently the car has not been fixed.
