My 2005 Xterra gas gage goes to empty and will not show true amount in tank. This has been happening for about 1 month. Also the check engine stays on and I know it is from the fill valve from the gas tank. I had one replaced already about 1 year ago and the problem is back. This is a re occurring problem that has been continuing for the last 2 months. Also the latch for the rear hatch some times will lock and not open I also replaced this about 1 year ago and the problem continues.
