FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 ALL HAVE A COMMON DEFECTIVE PART, THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I HAVE THIS TRUCK AND AT APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES, THE SENSOR WENT OUT GIVING ME THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON", CODE NUMBER P0463. THE NISSAN DEALER SAID IT WOULD $350 TO REPLACE, AT MY EXPENSE. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH IN INTERNET FORUMS, THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH ALL 2006 FRONTIERS WITH THE SENSOR GOING OUT AT APPROX 42,000-43,000 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER FUNCTIONS, LEAVING THE OWNER NOT KNOWING HOW FULL THE FUEL TANK IS. THERE ARE POST ON VARIOUS FORUMS OF DRIVERS BEING STRANDED WITH AN EMPTY TANK DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE PART. NISSAN HAS RECALLED SOME OF THE VEHICLES FOR THIS DEFECT BUT WHEN I ADVISED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MY TRUCK HAD THE SAME DEFECT, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE BROADENED TO ALL VEHICLES PRODUCED IN THAT YEAR. *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.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 FUEL GUAGE NO LONGER WORKING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. VEHICLE HAS 50K MILES ON IT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL, AND SINCE THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THIS WOULD COST ME $450 OUT OF POCKET. FROM READING POSTS ON THE WEB, I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSANS FROM 2005-2007. I HAVE NO WAY OF BEING SURE I HAVE SUFFICIENT FUEL, WHICH WOULD SEEM, TO ME, TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF I AM CAUGHT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WITH NO FUEL? I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO DANGER IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE *AS IS*...... AND AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS WOULD NOT BE A RECALL ISSUE IF SO MANY VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED BY THE SAME THING.
