Consumer Description

I am writing in regards to a recall that has previously been serviced on my vehicle. I bought my 2008 Nissan Titan through a private party on 4/16/23. The truck had no issues until 4/20/23. The fuel gauge read that I had a quarter tank of gas. However I was driving to work that morning and all of a sudden the truck acted as if it would when one runs out of fuel. I was not able to use the breaks and the steering was near impossible. I was frightened as I had my baby in the truck with me and I easily could have caused an accident not being able to use my breaks especially. Once I got to the side of the road and we stopped "coasting" I called for help. I did have an individual bring me some gas just incase that could have been the issue. Sure enough once I put fuel in it the truck started up and I got to the closet gas station to fuel up. Come to find out once my gas gauge reads a quarter tank it is in fact empty. The truck had a recall serviced on 4/16/2010 to replace the fuel gauge sending unit. I took the truck in to be serviced on 4/24/23 because of the issue I experienced. I was told that it was more than likely the sending unit and it would cost me $600-$800 to have it fixed. Why should I have to pay for a cost that has already been serviced once? Is there a warranty on a recall that has already been serviced? Can this possibly be a defect in the recall that was already serviced?
