FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 NISSAN FRONTIER XE 4 CYLINDER MANUAL TRANS. AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING UP, AND READ EMPTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY, SOMETIMES READING CORRECTLY WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONING AT APPROXIMATELY HALF TANK, CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEN IT CEASED TO FUNCTION AT ALL WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. NISSAN OF SANTA ROSA TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY Q CERTIFIED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY 100,000 MILES OR 2 YEARS. NISSAN TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND THE SENSOR INSIDE THE GAS TANK NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AT MY CHARGE. ALSO, I CANNOT HAVE MY EVAP EMISSIONS SYSTEM RECALL WORK PERFORMED UNTIL THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM PROBLEM IS FIXED. AS A RESULT I CANNOT COMPLETE MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION FOR THIS YEAR. I DEMAND A RECALL OF THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB 4X4 HAD THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (SES) COME ON AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL AROUND 46,800 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO WORK AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER BUT THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF FOR THE SES. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND SERVICED ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN SEPT OF 2006 , SO IT IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD BUT SINCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 36,000 MILES I CAN NOT GO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE. I ALSO HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PAINT ISSUES, FADING, CHIPPING AND RUST ON THIS TRUCK AND HAVE , AS STATED BEFORE ALWAYS TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I ALL MOST HIT A TREE BECAUSE OF DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD BE AT LEAST 4.1 INCHES FROM THE FLOOR. MY TRUCK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM THE FLOOR. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS OK. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THINGS REPAIR WITH THIS DEALER, PIEDMONT NISSAN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB STOPPED WORKING RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS UP. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING AND GIVING FALSE READINGS, THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. SINCE THE FUEL SENSOR IS TIED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN A SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER UNTIL THE ITEM WAS REPAIRED. TO REPAIR THIS, THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REMOVED. THIS COST ME 400 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THE UNIT TO BE DEFECTIVE, AS I HAVE BEEN SEEING MORE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASED THIS TRUCK LOGGING THE SAME COMPLAINT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE A FEAR THAT IS THE UNIT IS SHORTING OUT, IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. AFTER ALL, IT SITS ON TOP OF A 20 GALLON FUEL TANK. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO'S FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, BUT I IGNORED IT BECAUSE I HAD ALLOWED THE WARNING LIGHT TO GO ON AND THOUGHT THAT AFTER A FEW FILL UPS IT WOULD REGISTER CORRECTLY, BUT IT DID NOT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER, ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE, ASKED FOR OVER $400 TO REPAIR, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. NOW I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING THE TANK AFTER EVERY 200 -250 MILES FEARING I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD SUCH AS WHEN I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE TURNPIKE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT 41,000MILES MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER V6 BEGAN HAVING A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL SENDING UNIT CAUSING IMPROPER READING OF THE FUEL GAUGE. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING NISSANS WITH THE 4.0L V6 IN XTERRA'S, PATHFINDERS AND FRONTIERS. THIS USUALLY OCCURS BETWEEN 39K-49K MILES. NISSAN HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD CONSIDERING THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS MISREADING. NISSAN WANTS THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY $450 FOR A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE ON THEIR PART.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS QUIT WORKING FOR THE SECOND TIME WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE FALSE READINGS. NISSAN REPLACED THE UNIT WHEN IT QUIT AT 10000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY BUT, NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE UNIT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE I FOUND OUT WE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE UNITS. NISSAN DOES SEEM TO BE FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT, JUST COVING IT UP. AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY DO NOT WANT TO TRY TO COVER IT, THEY WANT ME TO PAY $400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR WHICH I AM NOT GOING TO DO. BESIDES THE FACT THAT $100 FOR PARTS AND $300 FOR LABOR IS OUTRAGEOUS I AM NOT GOING TO REPLACE THIS PART JUST HAVE IT FAIL AGAIN. THIS PART SHOULD BE ON A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED 2, 3, OR 4 TIMES OR EVEN AT 10000 MILES. NOW MY PROBLEM IS THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE USING MORE GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE BEEN GOING OFF OF THE MILEAGE BECAUSE I KNOW MY VEHICLE WILL DO A LITTLE OVER 400 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS BUT, IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD AT 11:30 AT NIGHT WITH 352 MILES SHOWING. MY GIRLFRIEND ALSO HAS TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND I FEAR HER SAFETY WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SHE COULD GET STUCK IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD OR IN DALLAS, TX TRAFFIC IT IS NOT EASY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM SETS OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION IS OUT. THEY WILL NOT LET THE VEHICLE PASS WITH THIS ON. *TR

ONE DAY WITHOUT WARNING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL LEVEL GAUGE BECAME INCORRECT AND ERRATIC. THIS HAPPENED AT APPROX 38000 MILE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE MY FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 TANK AND THERE WAS NONE. HAVING TO FILL MY VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
