FUEL LEVEL GAUGE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER [XXX] GIVES SPORADIC READINGS: READS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. AFTER SEVERAL MILES GIVES APPARENTLY ACCURATE READING UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK WHEN IT SUDDENLY READS EMPTY. THIS USUALLY (BUT NOT ALWAYS) OCCURS. NISSAN CLAIMS THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL OF THIS MODEL FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AND INSISTS THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO FIX IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A HUGE INCONVENIENCE REQUIRING ME TO FILL UP WAY BEFORE NECESSARY TO AVOID HAVE THE TRUCK RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. THIS IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM THAN NISSAN IS ACKNOWLEDGING. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS FUEL SYSTEM DESIGN. *TR
