NHTSA Complaint #10840107 — 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER

MY DAUGHTER TOOK OUR BABY TO THE DAYCARE AND WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE BITTER COLD IN OHIO AS SHE RAN OUT GAS. SHE CALLED AAA WHO SHOWED 2 HOURS LATER. IN THE MEANTIME SHE WAS WITHOUT ANY HEAT ON THE HIGHWAY IN12 TEMP. ALTHOUGH THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/2 OF TANK OF GAS, THE CAR WAS EMPTY. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH MY TO NJ COUNTING THE MILES SO I WOULD NOT RAN OUT OF GAS. I HAD IT FIXED AT THE WINDSOR NISSAN. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I PAID $500+ FOR A PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED. THIS HAS BEEN PUBLISHED EVEN BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMIN. WROTE A LETTER (I CAN PROVIDE) ON MARCH 3 2010, INFORMING NISSAN OF THE DANGER OF THIS ISSUE. THE REF NUMBER IS 10V-075 SUBJECT FUEL SYSTEM GASOLINE STORAGE AUXILIARY TANK. THE LETTER GOES TO EXPLAIN THE ISSUE WHICH COVERS MY CAR AND SAYS "THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. ANOTHER REF NUMBER REGARDING THE NISSAN FUEL GASOLINE SYSTEM NUMBER- 10V-075000, AND ANOTHER SERVICE BULLETIN NTB-07-069C, ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE ABOUT THE GAUGE BEING FAULTY AND READING THAT THE CAR HAS GAS WHEN IT DOESN'T. MY DAUGHTER WAS LUCKY THAT SHE HAD JUST DROPPED OFF THE BABY AND WHEN THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS SHE WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. HOWEVER, BEING PUT THROUGH THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING IN OHIO IN WINTER WITHOUT HEAT IN A COLD CAR FOR 2 HOURS IS UNFORGIVABLE!! ALTHOUGH, I CALLED HEADQUARTER SEVERAL TIMES, THEY ACTED LIKE THEY DID NOT NOT ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND REFUSED TO REFUND MY MONEY BACK. I HAVE ALL THE SERVICES BULLETIN AND WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY TO SHARE, ALTHOUGH NISSAN CAN CALL US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION.PRODUCT_OR_SERVICE: HAD WORK DONE TO FUEL SYSTEM. I FILLED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB#91355526 FOR NOTHING. PLS HELP!!
