| Description of the problem | Recall for 2006 xterra with manufacturer date of jan-march. My manufacturer date of my vehicle is august but has the same fuel level sensor issue listed on the recall. This has caused me to dangerously run out of gas on an interstate causing hazardous conditions. Problem: fuel sensor indicates there is fuel in the tank when in fact it is empty. It either stays full or stays at half a tank. The service engine soon light comes on intermittently. *js |
