What owners say
My gas gauge is always not correct. I only rely on the time and how much I filled it. Several incidents that it didn't start, even the gas gauge in the dashboard says its full but it's empty. I did talked to the mechanic he told me that there's a recall for it from the national safety but every time I brought my vehicle the dealer will deny it and says that the VIN number says no history of recall. The speedometer and RPM not reading accurately, the dealer says I have to change the whole dash board, but when I went to the other mechanic he says it's the ipdm and on I was googling about any recall for this problem and found it to your site about recall but the dealer again says there's no recall in VIN number. In your website it seems like the engine and engine cooling which I paid them to fix it. Engine light is always on, the mechanic says about exhaust manifold need to be replace, nissan material can break easily. I spend more the $4500 fixing this and that. Excluding the expenses that I had from the dealer shop.
Gas gauge was between 1/4 and empty,yellow fuel light was not on when I ran out of gas. Gauge is not accurate any more.
