| Description of the problem | The 2007 nissan xterra that was purchased for my sons has had a gas gauge that never recorded properly. This has been an ongoing problem that my sons have noticed from the beginning. First they wondered about it... And then said something to us. We notified the dealership, notified them again, and again, and again (i think you get the story) and finally after a couple of years, one sales serviceman said "yes others have the same problem". The replaced the gauge and then requested that i come back when the fuel tank was really empty to replace something in the tank. I did both these things. We haven't noticed a problem since but all boys are in college without the car. Our car also isn't one of the cars being recalled for anything... It's the same year but it is when the car was manufactured. I called nissan many, many times. Unresponsive reps and had a few senior people call me after my numerous attempts, said they mailed me something about one item that was recalled. I said that i never received anything and they wouldn't resend it. I will never buy another nissan vehicle again. Our other vehicles are a 2008 suburban and a 2008 300 mercedes. Less problems with both. Nissan people if you are reading this... Your customer service stinks. Btw the original dealership by my house went under and closed... Family nissan.. Bought car at el monte because it had the car i wanted and at a better price. |
