FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND A THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SMELL OF GASOLINE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. DEALER TELLS ME THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THEM AS THEY RUST AROUND THE TOP OF THE TANK. THIS IS A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM THE FUEL SENDING UNIT RECALL THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THESE VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1. HAD JUST FILLED UP MY GAS TANK ON A ROAD TRIP AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. 2. THE FUEL GAGE READ EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS JUST FILLED. IT SCARED ME AS I THOUGHT MAYBE THERE WAS A GAS LEAK. CHECKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE OR SMELL GAS SO CONTINUED ON HOME WITH SHOT NERVES. 3. HAD THE CHECK ENGINE CODE DIAGNOSED AND IT READ AS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS TURNS OUT TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WHICH NISSAN HAS NOT RECALLED. IT WILL COST $500+ TO FIX.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD MOVE FROM FULL TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SHE THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE, AUXILIARY TANK) SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT HER OWN EXPENSE. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO CONFIRMED THAT HER VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
6 MONTHS AGO MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK DONE AND IT IS A P0463 CODE WHICH IS THE FUEL SENSOR. NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE ALMOST $700 TO FIX. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO THOUSANDS OF XTERRAS. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ADMIT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS IT WAS SHOWING THE INCORRECT FUEL AMOUNT ON THE GAUGE AND ACTIVATED THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" INDICATOR. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY NISSAN XTERRAS FROM 2005-2008. A RECALL IS BECOMING ACTIVE FOR 2006 MODELS ONLY. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE FOR 2005-2008 MODELS AS I HAVE READ (ONLINE FORUMS) MANY VEHICLES IN THIS RANGE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART OR ARE IN NEED TO. THE REPLACEMENT PART THAT WAS INSTALLED INTO MY XTERRA IS STILL NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE. WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 TANK OF FUEL IS LEFT AND I FILL UP, IT WILL TAKE 12-13 GALLONS ONLY. THE XTERRA FUEL TANK CAPACITY IS 21 GALLONS. THE REASON I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT IS TOM AKE YOUR ORGANIZATION AWARE THIS RECALL SHOULD BE REVIEWED AND EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL MODEL YEARS. IT IS SOMEWHAT DISHEARTENING NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOT CORRECTING IT FOR THE ENTIRE AFFECTED CONSUMER BASE. MAYBE IF ONE OF THEIR EXECUTIVES WAS STUCK ON THE SIDE ON THE ROAD WITH THEIR INFANT CHILD AND OUT OF GAS WHEN THE GAUGE SAID 1/4 LEFT, THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA, AND MY SON HAS A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. HE HAS SINCE REPLACED HIS FUEL TANK INDICATOR. MINE HAS JUST STARTED TO INDICATE MORE GAS THEN WHAT IS ACTUALLY THERE. NISSAN HAS CHERRY PICKED SOME OF THE VEHICLES FOR RECALL, WHILE IGNORING THE BULK OF THEM IN AN EFFORT MINIMIZE COST. THIS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. I ONLY HAVE 39,000 MI. ON THE ODOMETER. WHAT IF I WENT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC SHOWING A HALF A TANK OF GAS, BUT ACTUALLY NONE. *TR

THEIR SONSUMER COMPLAINT LINE SAID STICK A STICK DOWN GAS TANK LINE TO SEE IF HAVE GAS, RIDICULOUS. HOW DO I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOT QUALIFY FOR RECALL.

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY. A PO4630 CODE CAME UP AND A MALFUNCTIONING GAS SENSOR WAS APPARENT AT THIS TIME. FOUR TIMES THE FUEL GAGE FAILED TO REGISTER--THEN CHECK ENGINE SOON CAME ON. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED YET BECAUSE IT JUST OCCURRED BUT AFTER SEEING THE OUTRAGEOUS COST AND I CANNOT AFFORD THAT--NOT AT THIS TIME. A RECALL IS NECESSARY.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 30K MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH, I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AFTER NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, POSING A GREAT DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT SOMTHING IN THE UNIT IS FAULTY AND WILL CORRODE OVER TIME. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YRS AND WITH AROUND 39K-49K. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER!! WHY WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM LIES IN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. COST OF REPAIR RANGES FROM $300-600."
