Description of the problem | My 2007 nissan xterra (47,000miles) just stopped (no power when gas pedal is depressed) while on the freeway during a busy time... I had to try to get to the shoulder and was very dangerous. Luckily the cars around me were paying attention and a huge accident was avoided. After researching this on the net, apparently this is common with this vehicle and previous models(which were issued recalls). The fuel sending unit apparently has an issue where it stops sending fuel through to the engine, without any warning or notice.... This is life threatening and unacceptable.. This needs to be taken care of before people die at the hands of a faulty 20 dollar part. Please please forward this or add it to the many other complaints i hope are listed... And thank you.. So far i have accumulated towing bills, rental car bills, and now have to wait for the weekday until nissan can "talk" to someone in the tech dept.. The dealerships need to be made aware of this issue and the owners need to be contacted immediately... |
