FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT IN MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER SHORTED OUT ON JUNE 22, 2010. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER ON JUNE 24, 2010. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE ALTHOUGH NISSAN HAS RECALLED THIS PART ON SOME VEHICLES, THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH RESULTED IN THE RECALL OF 2006 AND 2008 MODELS OF MY VEHICLE MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS OF NISSAN VEHICLES USING THE SAME PART FOR 2006 TO 2008, INCLUSIVE (ARMADA AND TITAN MODELS). I AM ASTOUNDED THAT SUCH A RECALL WOULD EXCLUDE VEHICLES WITH SAME PART AND SAME HISTORY OF PART FAILURE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY SURPRISING SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR OTHER MODELS OF MY YEAR, JUST NOT MY MODEL. IF THE PART IS FAILING AND IS A ENOUGH OF A SAFETY ISSUE TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR AND FOR THE SAME MODEL IN OTHER YEARS, WHY WOULD IT NOT BE CONSIDERED ENOUGH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY MODEL YEAR? DOES THE NHTSA PLAN TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION OF WHY NISSAN IS EXCLUDING MY MODEL IN THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER UNIT? *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER LE 4X4 WITH MAY 2006 BUILD DATE. FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REGISTERING UPON FILL UP. GAUGE NEEDLE DROPS TO EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT WITHIN 2 MILES OF FILL UP, FOLLOWED BY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT. AFTER 3-5 DAYS OF DRIVING, GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY STARTS READING ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL AND SES LIGHT GOES OFF. CONSEQUENT WEEKLY FILL UPS HAVE EXACT SAME RESULTS. NISSAN DEALER SAYS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR FUEL SENDING UNITS DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN TANK EXACTLY ON ANY GIVEN DAY. I USE MILES DRIVEN AS GAUGE, AND RESET UPON FILL UP WEEKLY FOR A ROUGH ESTIMATE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED DUE TO FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT CONTROLS THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE AND PROVIDES INFORMATION TO RUN ON BOARD EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTICS. DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. CONSUMERS ARE UNABLE TO REGISTER A VEHICLE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A SMOG TEST. SAFETY BECOMES AN ISSUE DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE NOT ACCURATELY PROVIDING THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK. A RECALL HAS ALREADY ISSUED FOR A SIMILAR FUEL ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE - I BELIEVE THE FIX REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP AND INCLUDES THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. *TR
