Called Triple AAA with urgency and stated that i was in the left shoulder nearest the #1 lane. AAA told me that someone will be out within 25 mins. Right when i hung up, i see a tow truck right behind me. A good samaritan from AAA was going home and seen us stranded, from his good will he pulled us onto his truck and took us home. He even told us that even if we didn't have AAA he would of taken us off the freeway because he seen us in a very bad situation. Anyways, got the truck home and put 2 gallons of fuel in it and it started right up. I noticed that the gauge still read 1/4 tank with no low level fuel light, WTF? I also looked on this site and seen a TSB on the fuel sensor.
One thing to consider this is that... Even that yours doesn't do this, it is considered a silent recall, The dealer knows about it and if you don't complain about it then this will leave you stranded. So make it a point to get this done. I was very thankful that someone stopped to help us and got us out of a very bad situation. (Blinking lights on the side of the freeway attracts drunk drivers to go that way) Don't put yourself in this situation. Thankfully i was driving and not my wife or had this happen with me not in the vehicle.
I found this file on this site so send thanks to the person who uploaded this.

First off I am glad you mad it home for safe. Just to clarify this is not a "silent recall" this is a technical service bulliten that is put out by nissan to help with the diagnosis & getting the correct parts replaced. Since the sending unit is the only thing being replace then it falls under the 3/36 warranty or service contract. Back when they were replacing the pumps for this it was a powertrain coverage but not any more.
