NHTSA Complaint #10317490 — 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE WITH 47000 MILES. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $100.00 TO READ THE ENGINE CODE AND CONFIRM THE SENDING UNIT WAS AT FAULT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT COST $400.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. IN THIS ECONOMY I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS SO I WILL HAVE TO POSTPONE THIS FIX. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I OR A FAMILY MEMBER FORGETS TO CHECK THE MILEAGE SINCE THE LAST FILLUP, THIS VEHICLE CAN SHUT DOWN AT HI SPEED AND LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT LIMITED IT TO A FEW VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DURING A FEW MONTHS FROM 2005-2007. MY VEHICLE MISSED THIS SMALL WINDOW BY 2 MONTHS. *TR
