FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FILLED UP MY TRUCK AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY. IT MAY TELL ME I HAVE MORE OR LESS GAS THAN I ACTUALLY DO. I CAN TURN THE KEY OFF AND RECRANK THE ENGINE AND HAVE A DIFFERENT READING. RECENTLY IT CAUSED MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON. ALSO IF I AM DRIVING A LONG DISTANT THE GAUGE SOMETIMES WILL GO FROM EMPTY AND START GOING TO FULL AS I DRIVE. *TR

STRUCTURE, SUSPENSION:FRONT
REFER TO ODI CONFIRMATION NUMBER 103268. THE SUMMARY WAS COMPLETELY ENTERED IN A FALSE MANNER. MY ACTUAL COMPLAINT WAS THAT THERE WERE NO CAMPER ADJUSTMENT DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE, NOT THAT THEY HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE. THEY WERE NEVER THERE!!! I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING BLOWN OFF NOR SHOULD I BE MIS-QUOTED, NO THAT IS NOT HARSH ENOUGH, MY COMPLAINT WAS COMPLETELY FABRICATED. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE ODI OFFICE USING THE PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE "CONTACT ODI (888) 327-4236 TTY: (800) 424-9153" BUT THIS NUMBER TOLD THEY COULD CONTACT THE ODI OFFICE OR GIVE ME A PHONE NUMBER, SO HERE I SIT TYPING DUE TO YOUR ORIGINAL [XXX] IN ENTERING THIS COMPLAINT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING
MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. IT WOBBLES ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 INCH IN EACH DIRECTION. THE CAR STILL STEERS OK BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT IT WILL FAIL WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT AND THEY SAY IT WILL COST $400 TO CHECK AND REPLACE IT. I SEE THIS REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS AS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
