Filed Jun 20, 2024 · Electrical, Engine · VA

So back in October 2023 ,I noticed a lot of things go wrong at once lime the radiator had to be replaced because it was leaking everywhere. The steering went bad and started leaking. The rear main seal started leaking. The clock spring went bad. there isntons of water always in the passenger floorboard and passenger door. The fuel gauge is all over the place and never reads right. The oil pressure gauge always has been on high. The engine light, air bag light slip light, and abs light have always been on. The right rear window stopped going up and the controls on the drivers door sometimes work and sometimes don't. The Manuel shifter has never worked and I cannot put the transmission in 2,3, or 4th gear from a stand still. Always been weird knocking sound in the suspension

Sunday evening my son was driving onto an entrance ramp to I-10 interstate when the truck died. Fuel gauge indicated truck had fuel. Would not start, left on side of interstate until next day. Bought some gas to put into tank which started the truck. He drove to fill tank ! Fuel gauge inaccurately displays fuel reading. Called nissan to informed them of my understanding that a fuel system recall. I was told I serviced my truck with this recall which I told corporate I was told there was no problem with my fuel system. I always ask for old parts but was not provided. Today, I took my truck to picayune nissan to get info on cost, diagnostics for corporate for them to make decision to approve this recall work. I spoke with service manager that the dealership sends used parts to corporate because they paid for work. I ask I should have the right to inspect old worn parts?! Dealership now wants to charge me about $400.00 for this recall work. Why is a recall warranty allowed a one-time fix!?! Lemon comes to mind!!!! Thx.
