NHTSA Complaint #10321871 — 2006 NISSAN XTERRA

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA WITH FUEL GAUGE MISREADING PROBLEM. ONE DAY, THE FUEL GAUGE METER DROPPED DOWN TO EMPTY AND LIGHT CAME ON DESPITE I HAD A QUARTER TANK OF GAS. EVER SINCE THEN I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWS A QUARTER TANK, IT'S LITERALLY EMPTY, AND WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK, IT TAKES HOURS TO READ FULL TANK. I HAVE RESEARCHED ARTICLES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AND FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CALLED THE NISSAN HQ BUT THEY SAID MY VIN IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL MODELS, BUT ON THE WEBSITE (HTTP://WWW.AUTOBUYGUIDE.COM/2006/12-AUT/NISSAN/XTERRA/RECALLS/INDEX.HTML ) IT SPECIFICALLY LISTS THE SAME ISSUE THAT I'M HAVING AND ARE UNDER RECALL MODELS. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR ALL XTERRA OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE INCONVENIENCE AND ARE NOT VERY HAPPY. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST AND LAST NISSAN I WILL PURCHASE. [XXX] *TR
