I have been having this problem for the past 2 years and have the dealer replace my fuel gauge twice within the last 2 years. Just recently, my Armada fuel gauge start acting up and the fuel level does not read properly.

I just don't feel comfortable even though they promise to replace the fuel gauge sensor which I have already been replace twice. Is there anyway I can return that truck to Nissan for a replacement since they are still have problem with the sensor after replacement. In my case, it's twice and going to be the third time around.
