NHTSA Complaint #10671115 — 2006 NISSAN XTERRA

FUEL SENDING UNIT IS FAULTY, CAUSING TRUCK TO STALL ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY TWICE WITH NO WARNING (WHILE SHOWING THERE WAS STILL GAS, BUT TANK EMPTY). DRIVING WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD SON AND ALMOST BEING CRASHED INTO BECAUSE OF THIS HAZARD. NISSAN HAD A RECALL OUT ON FEW VIN #'S IN WHICH MINE WAS SUPPOSEDLY NOT INCLUDED. NISSAN SAYS THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WHICH SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE WHEN I LOOK IT UP. THE REPAIR COSTS AROUND $600 TO FIX. MY TRUCK HAS FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, SO NOW IN ORDER FOR ME TO DRIVE AND NOT BE PULLED OVER, I HAVE TO SOMEHOW GATHER $600 TOGETHER TO FIX THIS. I'M A SINGLE PARENT WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS, AND AS I SEE ALL OVER THE INTERNET, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS SAME PART MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE SAME VEHICLE. DOESN'T SOUND PROPER TO ME WHEN IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
