FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE GETS STUCK ON 1/4 TANK OR SHOWS NO GAS EVEN WHEN FULL. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THEY SAY IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE CORRECT MONTH. THEY DID SAY THE PROBLEM WAS MORE VEHICLES THEN THE RECALL COVERED AND FOR THOSE VEHICLES THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS OR 72,000 MILES SO THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIX IT. SEEING AS MY VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE FAILURE ON 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 4DOOR PICKUP TRUCK. I CALLED SEVERAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND ALL OF THEM TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WITHOUT EVER SEEING THE TRUCK! AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS SOMEONE COULD RUN OUT OF FUEL ON A BUSY ROAD AND BE HIT FROM BEHIND AND OR WRECK TRYING TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY. (AS ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME). *TR
