| Description of the problem | Fuel gauge is giving an erroneous reading. Problem started at around july 2014 with mileage at around 75,000 but corrected itself then it happened again few months after with the service engine light on and has been on since. Empty light is on even though there's gas in tank or it will read full even though there's less than full in tank. Either way it is erratic & not giving you the correct reading. Apparently this is a known issue with nissan and a recall in a form of a warranty extension specific to that part and problem has been sent out and of course it happens to my car after the warranty has expired. It's aug 2015 and mileage is now at 82,650 and way past the warranty even with the extended one that they had put out. Contacted nissan consume affairs but was just told they couldn't help and to file complaint with nhtsa and/or bbb which i am doing and hoping this would be attended to as repairs are too costly for something that is a known defect with these vehicles. |
