FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. AS WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE, UPON FILLING THE TANK THE GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY AND THEN DURING THE DRIVE IT ACTS ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES IT WILL READ CORRECTLY ONE MINUTE AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT'S ON EMPTY AGAIN. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING TO KNOW THIS WAS A RECALL IN OTHER YEARS YET NISSAN WON'T MAN UP AND FIX THESE ISSUES. I WON'T BUY ANOTHER NISSAN BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THIS OR SHOULD I SAY NOT HANDLING THIS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN YOUR GAUGE IS OBVIOUSLY FAULTY AND TELLING YOU THERE'S FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2005 NISSAN FRONTIER, FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, WHICH COSTS AROUND 700 DOLLARS TO REPAIR AT DEALERSHIPS, RECALLS ON SOME YEARS BUT NOT THE 05. A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. CAUSES FUEL GAUGE NOT TO WORK PROPERLY AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF GAS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING GAS TANK: THE FUEL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY REGISTERED "EMPTY" AND CONTINUED READING SAME. CURRENT TO DATE, NO CHANGES IN READING. ITS' CONSEQUENCES ARE ON-GOING THAT A SERIOUS INCIDENT COULD OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY BY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A CURRENT FAILURE, AND HAS NOT HAD REPAIRED OR REPLACED. SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR REPAIRS. FAULTY, AND COULD BE UNSAFE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL EITHER READ EMPTY OR HAVE AN ERRATIC READING. NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THESE UNITS FOR 2006, 2008, AND 2009, BUT NOT 2007, WHICH IS THE YEAR OF MY NISSAN FRONTIER. MY UNIT FAILED JUST LIKE THE RECALLED UNITS, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE UNIT. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE UNIT BECAUSE IT IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THE SENDING UNIT FAILED AT APPROX 44,000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 66,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ONCE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. NOW I PUT GAS IN IT EVERY 2 DAYS REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE GAUGE SAYS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE SPORADICALLY WOULD NOT REGISTER THE GAS WHEN WE FILLED UP THE TANK. QUOTED $500 TO REPAIR. HEARD RADIO NEWS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO THAT NISSAN WAS RECALLING VEHICLES DUE TO SEAT BELTS, GAS GAUGES AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS. THE PROBLEM NOW IS CONTINUOUSLY - WHEN GAS GAUGE REACHES 1/2 TANK, IT DROPS TO EMPTY. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED YET.

HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WHICH HAS A DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR. THIS CAUSED ME TO FAIL NJ STATE INSPECTION. NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENSORS. APPARENTLY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THIS PROBLEM, THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPAIR DUE TO VIN #. I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY CAR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER XE PICK UP. AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS ON 2/28/2010 I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE DID NOT MOVE TO THE FULL MARK. THE FUEL GAUGE EVENTUALLY (AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING) BEGAN TO MOVE TO ABOUT THE 3/4 FULL MARK. MY WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER ON 3/1/2010 FOR A STRANGE ENGINE NOISE AND TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER FROM THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. I AUTHORIZED THE DEALER TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR,(3/3/2010) THE COST WAS $474.38. THE NEXT DAY A FRIEND CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY HEARD OF A NHTSA RECALL ON CERTAIN NISSAN MODELS REGARDING THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONING. I CONSULTED YOUR WEBSITE AND IN READING THE SUMMARY OF THE RECALL DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS VERY SIMILAR IF NOT EXACT TO THE SYMPTOMS MY VEHICLE HAD DEMONSTRATED. I CALLED NISSAN AND FURNISHED MY VIN FULLY EXPECTING MY VEHICLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY NISSAN INSISTED MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. I APPEALED WITHIN THEIR COMPANY ASKING THEM TO CONSIDER COVERING THE COST OF THE REPAIR SINCE THE DEFECT SO CLOSELY MIRRORED THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY VIN WAS TECHNICALLY EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE TOWARDS MY REPAIR COSTS. I REALIZE THAT I AM ASKING A LARGE COMPANY TO SHOW INTEGRITY SINCE THEY ARE SECURE THAT MY VIN IS EXCLUDED, BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD HONOR MY REQUEST GIVEN THE NATURE OF MY REPAIR AND THE RECALL. IS THERE ANYTHING NHTSA CAN DO TO ASSIST ME IN THIS? IT SEEMS A SHAME THAT EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE DEMONSTRATED NEARLY EXACT SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL, THEY CAN DENY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE FOR WHATEVER REASON MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AT THIS TIME. *TR
