FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON 4/16/2010 I FILLED UP MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA 4X4 WITH GAS. WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE ONLY READ 1/2 TANK AND THAT THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LAMP WAS ON. THE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON SINCE AND I HAVE HAD TO RESET THE TRIP MILEAGE EVERYTIME I REFUEL SO THAT I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID MOST LIKELY IT IS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO DROP THE TANK AND REPLACE THE SENSOR/PUMP ASSEMBLY. FINE I SAID, THEN THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST AROUND $600, NOT FINE. I DECIDED TO SHOP AROUND BECAUSE THE PRICE WAS TOO HIGH. WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND WAS THE CAUSE FOR RECALLS ON THE '02-'03 XTERRAS. IF THIS WAS A RECALL IN EARLIER MODELS WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN FIXED IN THE LATER MODELS. I AM VERY UPSET AND DO NOT WANT TO BE RIPPED OFF FOR A MALFUNCTIONING PART. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA, ONE DAY WE FILLED IT AT A GAS STATION AND NOTICED RIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE STATION THAT THE GAUGE STILL SAID A QUARTER OF A TANK, SO WE PULLED INTO ANOTHER GAS STATION A FEW MILES DOWN TO SEE IF IT WOULD TAKE MORE GAS AND IT ONLY TOOK $0.60 WORTH, SO WHEN WE STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON. AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE GAUGE SLOWLY STARTED RISING TO THE FULL MARK. WE HAD TO FILL IT AGAIN BEFORE WE GOT BACK FROM OUR TRIP AND IT DID THE SAME THING, DIDN'T REGISTER OUR FULL TANK AND THEN SLOWLY WENT UP TO THE FULL MARK, AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT HAS STAYED ON THE WHOLE TIME. WE CANT TELL IF WE STILL HAVE FUEL OR NOT. *TR

FUEL SENSOR ON MY 2008 NISSAN XTERRA IS BROKEN. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK. IT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. SOMETIMES THE TANK WILL READ EMPTY OR OTHER VALUE. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR UNDER A WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD! I AM PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA HAS A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM WHICH CAUSES THE GAUGE TO NOT DISPLAY THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. IT CAN SHOW EMPTY AFTER A FILL UP.
