FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE IN 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER....ONE MINUTE I HAVE A FULL TANK NEXT ITS EMPTY. FILL THE TRUCK UP AND GAUGE SAYS I'M ONLY 1/4 FULL. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2006 AND 2008 FOR THE SAME REASON. DID THEY MAKE A CHANGE FOR 2007 THEN WENT BACK TO THE OLD WAY IN 2008. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THE PART ALONE IS $540 BUCKS AND RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE 2007 MODELS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO FAULTY GAS SENSOR IN TANK. KNOWN RECALL ON 2006 AND 2008 MODELS. SHOWS AN EMPTY TANK WHEN FULL AND EMPTY. UNLESS YOU ARE KEEPING UP WITH MILEAGE, YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY. THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE SAME ISSUE IN 2006 AND 2008 FRONTIER TRUCKS. FOR SOME REASON, THEY WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2007 MODELS. I TALKED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT WILL COST ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE THIS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, CAN'T BE RESET UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. *TR

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STRUCTURE
WEAK CLUTCH 2009 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4X4 4.0 LITRE, 6 SPEED MAN TRANSMISSION. 10,331 MILES AND CLUTCH SLIPS IN 3RD, 4TH, 5TH, 6TH AND LITTLE NO ENGAGEMENT IN REVERSE. SLIPS ON SUDDEN ACCELERATION. MANUFACTURER ALWAYS BLAME CUSTOMER'S ON FAULT. TRUCK WAS NOT ABUSED BY ME. MANUFACTURER IS NOT ADMITTING FAILURE. IF YOU SEARCH FOR NISSAN FRONTIER CLUTCH PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET, YOU WILL SEE, THAT THE SAME POWERPLANT BELONGS TO A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA AND AT 13,000 AND THE 24,000 THIS PERSON HAD TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH AS WELL AS SLIPS. 2ND ISSUE, THE BRAKES ASSEMBLED ON MY TRUCK WERE MISSING ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE FRONT BRAKE PAD RETAINER SPRINGS. BRAKES PULL RIGHT AND DAMAGED RT ROTOR. REQUIRED MACHINE SHOP TO REPAIR LATERAL OUT OF ROUND. POSSIBLE CAUSE IS MISSING LOWER RETAINERS SPRINGS AND NOW DEVELOPED INTO STICKING CALIPERS. 3RD ISSUE. RATTLE NOISE FROM SUSPENSION AREA ON UNEVEN ROAD SURFACES OR MANHOLE LIDS AT SLOW SPEEDS. UNABLE TO LOCATE CAUSE WITH SUSPENSION BOTH LOADED AND UNLOADED. HAVE USED EVEN RUBBER MALLET TO NO AVAIL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AS MY VEHICLE USES GAS THE GAUGE STICKS AT ABOUT 5/16 TO 3/8 FULL. THIS ACTION CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO THEN DO UNUSUAL THINGS SUCH AS FALL TO EMPTY AND THROW A FAULT CODE TO THE OBD II. OR THE FUEL LEVEL ON THE GAUGE WILL STAY AT APPROX. 5/16 TO 3/8 FULL FOR A PROLONGED TIME WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT THEY SAY THE TRUCKS BUILD DATE FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IT SURE SEEMS TO ME THAT I TOO HAVE A GAS TANK WITH THE DEFORMITY WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL FLOAT TO "CATCH' OR "STICK'. *TR

WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED DOWN THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE WHILE IN SLOW TRAFFIC. IT RACED FOR A SECOND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE FLOOR MAT HAD POSSIBLY CAUSED THIS BUT THE FLOOR MAT WAS UNDER THE GAS PEDDLE IN THE NORMAL POSITION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
FILLED MY 2006 FRONTIER WITH GAS ONE DAY AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE" CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY THE GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I REFILLED AGAIN AND GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER PROPERLY. I THEN DROVE AROUND FOR AN HOUR AND IT EVENTUALLY REGISTERED FULL AGAIN. TOOK TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DID A SCAN AND IT REVEALED IT HAD A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDER.THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO RECALL BEING ANNOUNCED. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND ONE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY WOULD REIMBURSE MY COST, ONCE THE ACTUAL RECALL LETTERS WERE SENT OUT. SINCE THEN THE DEALER SAYS THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL SENDER DOES NOT APPLY TO MY TRUCKAND WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME. I CALLED THE 1-800 NISSAN NUMBER AND THEY SAY MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED . HOWEVER THE SERVICE BULLETIN SAY "2005-2007 FRONTIER - ALL". *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
MY 2009 NISSAN FRONTIER CAME WITH A FULL SIZE SPARE TIRE THAT HAD NO SENSOR FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT, WHEN I ROTATED THE TIRES, THE TPM SYSTEM LIT UP AND STAYED ON. FURTHER, THE SYSTEM WILL STAY ON 80% OF THE TIME, WHICH IS THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THE SPARE WILL BE ON THE GROUND DURING THE LIFE OF THE TIRES. IT WILL BE IN THE SPARE POSITION ONLY 20% OF THE TIME. IT SEEMS THAT ADDING A SENSOR TO THE SPARE SHOULD GREATLY INCREASE SAFETY WITH ONLY A SLIGHT INCREASE IN COST PER VEHICLE.

I FILLED UP MY TRUCK AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY. IT MAY TELL ME I HAVE MORE OR LESS GAS THAN I ACTUALLY DO. I CAN TURN THE KEY OFF AND RECRANK THE ENGINE AND HAVE A DIFFERENT READING. RECENTLY IT CAUSED MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON. ALSO IF I AM DRIVING A LONG DISTANT THE GAUGE SOMETIMES WILL GO FROM EMPTY AND START GOING TO FULL AS I DRIVE. *TR

STRUCTURE, SUSPENSION:FRONT
REFER TO ODI CONFIRMATION NUMBER 103268. THE SUMMARY WAS COMPLETELY ENTERED IN A FALSE MANNER. MY ACTUAL COMPLAINT WAS THAT THERE WERE NO CAMPER ADJUSTMENT DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE, NOT THAT THEY HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE. THEY WERE NEVER THERE!!! I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING BLOWN OFF NOR SHOULD I BE MIS-QUOTED, NO THAT IS NOT HARSH ENOUGH, MY COMPLAINT WAS COMPLETELY FABRICATED. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE ODI OFFICE USING THE PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE "CONTACT ODI (888) 327-4236 TTY: (800) 424-9153" BUT THIS NUMBER TOLD THEY COULD CONTACT THE ODI OFFICE OR GIVE ME A PHONE NUMBER, SO HERE I SIT TYPING DUE TO YOUR ORIGINAL [XXX] IN ENTERING THIS COMPLAINT.
