 Description of the problemI own a 2007 nissan xterra with 30,200 miles on it. Earlier this year i filled my gastank and drove from station. 1 mile down the road the check engine light went on, the gastank needled dropped to empty and the gas warning light went on. Dealership service dept. Told me the fuel level sending unit was stuck and that it was safe to drive and when i drove about 25 miles the gastank level would go back up to full and the light go off. The check engine light,however, stayed on. This happened again when i filled my tank. I returned to dealer, had diagnostic check and verified the problem. They turned off the light. The same problem continued but after a few more fills the gastank level stays anywhere 1/2 full or 1/4 full.. In may i was called by nissan and told there may be a recall on my vehicle. I called the dealer and nissan recalled the 2006 and 2008 year xterras but not the 2007, however, i have verified that all three years have the identical fuel level sending unit. I then called nissan n. A. Was given a case number and after 2 weeks and 3 calls i received a return call by a technician; was told my vehicle was outside of the mfgrs warranty and not eligible for assistance. I asked for and received a written confirmation of their decision. It is very disconcerting to continually drive with the check engine light on. Something else internally to my vehicle could cause the check engine light to go on and i wouldn't know it. Also unless i reset the trip indicator each time i fill my tank i would never know how much gas i have left in the tank. Because of the safety issue i had nissan replace the fuel level sending unit at my own expense. I think the 2007 xterra should have been included in the march 2010 recall of the 2006 and 2008 xterras because they all have the same problem or recalled now as a stand alone...
