FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AT APPROX 55,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. INITIALLY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE FUEL REACHED APPROX 1/4 TANK FULL. NOW, SES LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED AND ACTUAL GAS GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ADDRESSED MANY MANY TIMES ON VEHICLE FORUMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE AND THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AN ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR ROAD DUE TO A REAL GAS OUTAGE. THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY BULLETIN ABOUT THIS BUT NO RECALL YET TO MY UNDERSTANDING AND HAS OCCURRED THROUGHOUT MANY DIFFERENT NISSAN TRUCK MODELS FROM THE XTERRA, PATHFINDER, AND FRONTIER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CONCERNING MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4 NISMO. I NOTICED MY DTE (DISTANCE TO EMPTY) INDICATOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT READ ---- AND THEN 0. SHORTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AT X.NISSANHELP.COM AND OTHER SITES. AFTER SEARCHING, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A SAFETY RECALL WAS MADE BY NISSAN. ACCORDING TO ALL ACCOUNTS SOMETHING IN THE FUEL SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND CORRODES OVER TIME. EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING IN THE RANGE OF 39,000 TO 80,000 + MILES. SINCE THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. WHY SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE TO WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS? ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM LIES IN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. COST OF REPAIR RANGES FROM $300-600. *TR

STEERING
I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD SON IN THE TRUCK WHEN I CAME IN TO A CURVE AND THE STEERING WOULD NOT TURN. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE GET OUT OF THE TRUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND GET THE STEERING BROKE LOOSE SO I COULD MOVE THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOW THE STEERING COLUMN HAS A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN EVERY DIRECTION. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NISSAN DEALER SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BEARING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT $980.00. THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS A SEVERAL TIMES. NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. THE TRUCK HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT NOW. IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY ISSUES LIKE THIS ON AUTOMOBILES WITH THIS LOW OF MILEAGE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER, AND THE GAS TANK SENSOR FAILED LIKE SO MANY OTHERS FROM 2005 TO 2010. I RAN OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME AND IT STOPPED SO SUDDENLY I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T FALL IN THE RECALL LIST. I AM ON FORUMS AND EVERYONE IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS BUT THEY ARE ONLY PICKING A FEW TO FIX. THIS IS WRONG. ANYWAYS NOW WHEN I FILL IT UP IT GOES TO EMPTY AND THE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT LIGHTS. THEN AFTER 30 OR SO MILES IT EVER SO SLOWLY STARTS TO CLIMB UNTIL IT IS FULL. THEN FOR NO REASON IT WILL GO EMPTY AGAIN. IT KEEPS GOING THROUGH THIS CYCLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR WEEKS NOW, THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN COMPLETELY ERRATIC. I AM REALLY WORRIED THAT I WILL RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE, OR RUN OUT OF FUEL AND NOT KNOW AND GET HIT ON THE FREEWAY! NISSAN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE BUT STILL REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON WHAT THEY ADMIT IS A BAD SENSOR. I HAVE HAD THIS DIAGNOSED FOR FREE AT AAMCO,(P0463 IS THE CODE) NISSAN REFUSES TO ACCEPT THIS AND WANTS ME TO PAY THEM 100.00+ TO LET THEM DIAGNOSE WHAT I ALREADY KNOW! *TR

05 NISMO FRONTIER, I HAD A TICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. MY ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER CODE, GAS GAGE WAS INTERMITTENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT, GET A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND HAVE MY DRIVELINE REPLACE BECAUSE IT WAS BLOWN. THE TRUCK HAD 94K WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS. I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO FIND A POSSIBLE COOLANT LEAK. I CAN SMELL IT BUT CAN'T FIND WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION
2006 NISSAN FRONTIER REAR BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO LEAK IN THE REAR AXLE SHAFT. THE SEALS IN THE REAR AXLE FAILED ALLOWING OIL TO COMPLETELY COAT THE REAR BRAKES ON BOTH SIDES RENDERING THEM ESSENTIALLY USELESS. REPAIR REQUIRED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF REAR AXLE SHAFT SINCE NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE JUST THE SEALS. HAD REPAIR COMPLETED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. NISSAN PAID A PORTION, BUT IT DIDN'T EVEN COVER HALF OF THE PARTS, LET ALONE THE LABOR. I FOOTED THE MAJORITY OF THE BILL. *TR
