Instrument Panel problem #1

The fuel gauge en the speedoometer does not tell the correct amount of gas in the car. It says there is fuel when the care is actually empty causing me to get out of gas for several times. I took it to the dealership and they told me the only way to repare it is to change the whole speedometer, and that the cost of it is almost a $1,000. 00. This is a lot of trouble for me because I have to fill up the car every 2 to 3 days so the car doesn,t leave me with out fuel.

Crankshaft Position Sensor problem #2

My daughter was driving in orlando when her check engine light and the slip control light came on and the engine lost power and stalled. We had to have the vehicle towed to an orlando Nissan dealer. They diagnosed it as the camshaft and crankshaft sensors and we had to have it fixed at a cost of $815. 65. I recently contacted Nissan about this as I saw there was a Nissan recall (no. R2022) on the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. However, Nissan informed me that my car was not included in the recall as the recall was for 2003 vehicles. They stated the recall was VIN specific. I believe it should be symptom specific as the symptoms of the vehicle in this incident were exactly the same as what was described in the recall.

Electrical System problem #3

The contact owns a 2004 Nissan 350z. The contact stated that the air bag sensor warning lamp illuminated. In addition, the water temperature and fuel level gauges continuously fluctuated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 68,500 and the current mileage was 71,755.
