Description of the problem	Fuel-sending unit prone to failure on 2006 nissan xterra. Shortly after purchasing my used nissan the fuel sending unit failed and had to be replaced last fall. Less than a year later and the fuel sending unit is once again sending incorrect readings to the fuel indicator. Even after filling the tank the fsu reads as 3/4 full and does not indicate properly as fuel is used. Nissan has not provided a replacement part that fixes the problem, the replacement component is the same as the one that was installed at the factory and just as prone to failure. This could lead to the dangerous situation of running out of fuel in the middle of a busy road, bridge or rail crossing. Nissan has recalled only selected xterras, but all 2005+ xterras use the same part. Nissan says that this issue is a safety concern but has only issues a limited recall when many more vehicles are affected.
