Driving our Nissan Armada at apprx 15mph and went over a tree branch that could not be avoided that had fallen, with no injury to our vehicle but caused a large leak in the gas tank. Now the punctured gas tank has to be replaced. The risk of this large puncture in the tank from such a minor impact could have resulted in an explosion of the vehicle. Fuel tanks should not be made in a manner that they are so vulnerable to damage because it is a hazard.

Around 7/09, my Armada just stopped on the freeway (according to the gas gauge, we had a 1/2 tank left)... then found out on 7/27/09 that gas gauge was faulty, so I had to pay $560.21 to antioch Nissan to have that replaced. On 3/3/10, heard on the news there's a recall on fuel gauge on my Nissan & got my reimbursement & had fuel gauge replaced again on 4/2/10... once in a while when I put gas in my Armada, it takes forever for the gas gauge to go up to where it's supposed to be (ie. I put $40 which should put it in 1/2 tank... I drove 5 miles before it actually got from 1/4 tank to 1/2 tank... I took pictures of this occurrence).
