NHTSA Complaint #10660012 — 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A 30 DEGREE MORNING AFTER JUST DROPPING MY SON (DIAGNOSED WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE) TO SCHOOL. HAD THIS BEEN PRIOR TO DROPPING HIM TO SCHOOL HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING IN THE FREEZING VEHICLE FOR 30MINS UNTIL MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET TO US AND THIS COULD HAVE AGGRAVATED HIS CONDITION. I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I AM SHOWING A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE SO DID NOT THINK THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. I THEN CONTACTED MY HUSBANDS AT WORK AND HE HAD TO LEAVE TO COME CHECK ON THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED IT MAY NEED GAS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKED OK AND WE HAD JUST COMPLETED A SERVICE WITH NO MENTION OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. HE DROVE ME TO THE GAS STATION IN HIS VEHICLE WHERE WE PURCHASED SOME GAS CAME BACK POURED IT IN THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED UP AND WAS FINE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (AM). I THEN DECIDED TO CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V075000 WE THEN ADDRESSED THIS WITH NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO CORRECTING THIS ISSUE IS AT MY EXPENSE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS A KNOWN IDENTICAL ISSUE WITH THE PART. *TR
