CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH ERROR CODE P0463. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND THE PREVIOUS MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WERE RECALLED. THIS FAILURE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE OUT OF COMPLIANCE WITH TEXAS LAWS AND WILL NOT PASS ANNUAL INSPECTION WITHOUT REPAIR. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CHECKED OUT BY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP . I WAS TOLD THAT A SMALL EVO LEAK ON GASKET OF FUEL SENDING UNIT. HAD CHECKED BY OWN MECHANIC HE CONFIRMED WHAT NISSAN HAD SAID. I NOTICED MORE COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM BY OTHER OWNERS OF THE 2003 FRONTIER I THINK THIS ISSUED SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED OVER $600 TO FIX IF THE GAS TANK IS STILL USABLE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB, LONG BED (6') AND THE AIR BAGS (BOTH DRIVER & PASSENGER) DID NOT DEPLOY. THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK SUFFERED DAMAGE. THE DAMAGE IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT THE HOOD FOLDED UPWARDS. MY DAUGHTER HIT AN IMPALA WITHOUT SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HARD ENOUGH TO SNAP THE IMPALA'S FRONT AXLE. THIS SEVERE OF AN ACCIDENT SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY BUT, THEY DIDN'T. I JUST SAW THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHERS AND IT APPEARS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AS I FOUND MULTIPLE WEBSITES SPEAKING ABOUT THIS FAILURE TO DEPLOY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING BACK FROM SCHOOL ON MARCH 10TH 2011. WHILE ENTERING A HIGHWAY ONRAMP MY CAR ENGINE STOPPED. I WAS TRAVELING 40 MPH AND DID NOT GET ANY WARNING ABOUT THE STALL, MY STEERING DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER AND BRAKES WERE DIFFICULT TO OPERATE. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN (1-800-NISSAN1) ABOUT MY INCIDENT AND ASK IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS MADE TO MY VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. I THEN TOOK MY TRUCK TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSE WITH A FAULTY PUMP AND BURNED ELECTRICAL WIRES. THIS REPAIR COST ME OVER $900. I CHECKED WWW.NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE FOR ANY RECALLS, LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT AS PER RECALL CAMPAIGN I.D. # / NHTSA #: R0401 & R0402 / 04V-230 DOCUMENT RCRIT-04V230-8435. THIS RECALL WAS MADE BACK IN JANUARY 23, 2009. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS, I WISH I WAS AND SO I WOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE COSTLY REPAIRS.WHEN I CALLED NISSAN BACK I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL RESEARCH MY INCIDENT AND GET BACK TO ME THE NEXT DAY. I AM STILL WAITING. *TR
