FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT HAS A FAULT CODE OF PO463. NISSAN HAS RECALLED THE 2006-08 VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR MINE BECAUSE IT IS A 2005 AND ARE REFUSING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECTIVE PART. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT ARE HAVING TO SPEND IN EXCESS OF $600.00. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH FUEL WHEN INFACT I DID NOT. MY SON WAS DRIVING IT TO COLLEGE AT COLLEGE ON AUGUST 21ST WHEN HE THOUGHT HE HAD FUEL WHEN THE TRUCK WAS EMPTY. I'M AFRAID TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SHOULD THE VEHICLE RUN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. PLEASE WITH YOUR HELP AND PERSUASION, WE CAN GET NISSAN CORPORATION TO REPAIR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. THANK YOU *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AND I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. THIS IS NOT AN INCONVENIENCE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR I MAY HAVE TO REPLACE IT MYSELF SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE DEALER DO IT. THE REPAIR IS HAZARDOUS AS IT DEALS WITH REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK. 1/2 OF THE VIN NUMBERS FOR THIS YEAR FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT AND 1/2 HAVE NOT. THOSE NOT RECALLED ARE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

NISSAN FRONTIER 2007, SERVICE BULLETIN NOTES DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR AND THIS CAN GIVE A FALSE FUEL LEVEL AND CAUSE BREAKDOWN ON HIGHWAY. SB # NTB07-069B AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR THIS AS A RECALL NEED. DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE IS A DANGEROUS ITEM WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS AT NIGHT. PLEASE PUSH NISSAN TO RECALL / IMPROVE THESE UNITS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENSOR GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. VEHICLE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND LOW FUEL LIGHT, ALL THIS WITH PLENTY OF GAS IN TANK.SOMETIMES FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW 3/4 FULL AND AFTER GAUGE GETS AROUND 1/2 FULL, THE GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY. NEVER SURE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN TANK. WOULD NOT WANT TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND CAUSE A CRASH. NISSAN HAS RECALLS FOR THE 2006 AND 2008 FRONTIER FOR THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN OFFERED ME $250.00 TOWARDS THE REPAIRS AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE 2007 MODEL'S ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. NISSAN IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF OTHER YEAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND DO NOT WANT TO FIX THEIR DEFECT AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER KING CAB. FIRST OFF WHEN MY TANK WOULD GET TO JUST UNDER A QUARTER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND I WOULD HAVE TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY TO MAKE THE LIGHT GO AWAY. NOW MY GAUGE READS EMPTY ON A FULL TANK OF GAS AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ARE ON. THIS FIRST HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY A FEW DAYS AGO. GAUGE IS STUCK A EMPTY AND LIGHTS WILL NOT GO AWAY. *TR

THE TAILGATE ON MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER LE 2WD PICKUP TRUCK CONTINUALLY COMES OFF IT'S HINGES EVEN AFTER BEING SECURED BY FORCEFULLY CLOSING, AND AT TIMES, SLAMMING, THE TAILGATE SHUT. THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED THE TAILGATE TO COME OFF IT'S HINGES AND IS A SAFETY RISK TO OTHER DRIVERS WHO ARE BEHIND ME, AS IT CAN CAUSE GREAT BODILY HARM, SERIOUS INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH IF IT EVER ENTIRELY FELL OFF. BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, I LOCK THE TAILGATE IN AN ATTEMPT THAT IT IS SECURELY CLOSED. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB LE MODEL. FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ PROPERLY AND DOES NOT INDICATE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL WHICH HAS CAUSED A STALL DUE TO LACK OF FUEL WHEN THE GAUGE READS 1/4 TANK. AFTER LEARNING OF A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, A SEARCH OF MY VIN NUMBER REVEALED THAT NISSAN DID NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE RECALL. *TR
