| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 nissan xterra. My fuel sending unit has failed resulting in failure of my fuel gauge. At times the gauge will show no gas at all, and at other times it will stick at partially full. The gauge is never accurate. This presents an enormous safety problem as the chance of running out of gas on a highway or interstate is greatly increased. This exact same issue was deemed a safety hazard that resulted in recall on xterra models before and after 2007, as well as other nissan models made in 2007. If it is a safety hazard for those vehicles, it is a safety hazard for a 2007 xterra! |
