| Description of the problem | The fuel level sensor is malfunctioning, it suddenly goes to empty at no particular level the fuel tank is actually at. My risk is to run out of gas in the middle of an emergency situation. My coworker has the same problem with his xterra as well, it seems to be a factory defect for these cars. Someone needs to check this out as there might be many consumers affected by this issue. |
