| Gas gauge shows incorrect amount of fuel. the nissan people's fix is to keep the gas tank over half full. we received a recall notification about 3 or 4 months ago, but when we took our truck in, we were told we had to receive a appointment from nissan before they could do anything. our letter states the vehicle could stall, which could create an unsafe condition which could result in a crash. we need to be able to get this fixed. please help us. | |||
