| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On march 07, 2007 my 2000 nissan frontier began intermittently to lose engine power. no recognizable events lead up to the power failure, it came on suddenly and without any warning. the first incident occurred at a major highway intersection, and nearly caused vehicle crash. on march 08, 2007, i had my vehicle towed to my primary mechanic for inspection. on march 09, 2007, my primary ase certified mechanic diagnosed the problem as being a faulty fuel tank sending unit. he also advised me of nissan's voluntary recall campaign for this specific problem, and suggested that i return my vehicle to them to have the recall service completed. on march 22, 2007, i had my vehicle towed to sandy sansing nissan of pensacola, fl, to have the recall service completed. the details of this service as noted on my service invoice were as follows: fuel sending unit non-salt recall; checked connection, no corrosion found, sprayed protective coating on connectors. on march 23, 2007, i returned to the dealership to pick up my vehicle, as i had been advised that the service was completed. after driving less than four miles from the dealership, the engine in my vehicle began to fail, just as it had when the problem was diagnosed as being a faulty fuel sending unit. i phoned sandy sansing nissan's service department to asvise them that the problem still existed. their response was that the recall did not require them to replace the faulty fuel sending unit since my vehicle was identified as not being located in a " salt state". as a result of my vehicle's engine failure, again i had to have it towed home. i don't understand the process that was used to determine that my vehicle was not eligible for being located in a salt state. i have two homes and one of them is in tennessee, which is a salt state", and i travel there quite frequently. i am unable to find a local independant mechanic to replace the fuel sending unit because of nissan's recall.ak |
