| Description of the problem | Fuel system, gasoline- i called the nissan consumer line and gave them the information in regards to the fuel system issue. They stated that initially that my vehicle wasn't part of the recall based on my ven# for my 2007 xterra. However, they had me go thru the steps of going to a certified dealership to obtain a diagnostic to confirm that i was having the same problem. After all the work done on this end, nissan stated they would not be responsible for cover the part... Even though it is a known issue with their cars the cost is min $400 and i do not have those type of funds readily available as a single mother. I recently ran out of gas on a major highway with my two kids. Blessed that i was able to pull over in a timely manner without causing an accident or being in one. Nissan needs to take ownership and responsibility for their cars as this is a safety issue and can cause damage to the driver and their family as well as others. |
