| Description of the problem | 1. No events leading to the failure but just driving 2. The failure is the check engine light came on and then a few days later the gas gauge started messing up; when it gets to 1/2 a tank it drops to empty and when filling up the gas tank it takes a day or so before the gas gauge reads full again; a consequence is i have ran out of gas do to this situation since the gas gauge does not function right 3. To fix the problem the vehicle needs a new fuel leveling/sending unit; it is a nissan xterra 2007 but production year of 2006 and was told by nissan that the truck's vin did not come up for the recall they have going on for production year of 2006 and 2008 xterras although the symptoms of my issue is exactly the symptoms of the recall and that the truck falls into the production year of the recall years. Problem has not been fixed at all, and i am not paying out of pocket for an issue that is common with the nissan xterras hence the recalls. |
