TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE LEVEL AMOUNT OF GASOLINE. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY WHILE THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL AND DISPLAYED FULL WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUNNING DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RELATED RECALL FOR THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FOR THE 2006 AND 2008 MODELS BUT NOT THE 2007. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE AT NO CHARGE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD EXTEND THE RECALL TO INCLUDE HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. UPDATED 12/22/10*LJ

NISSAN FRONTIER 2007, SERVICE BULLETIN NOTES DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR AND THIS CAN GIVE A FALSE FUEL LEVEL AND CAUSE BREAKDOWN ON HIGHWAY. SB # NTB07-069B AND THEY WILL NOT HONOR THIS AS A RECALL NEED. DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE IS A DANGEROUS ITEM WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAYS AT NIGHT. PLEASE PUSH NISSAN TO RECALL / IMPROVE THESE UNITS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENSOR GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. VEHICLE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND LOW FUEL LIGHT, ALL THIS WITH PLENTY OF GAS IN TANK.SOMETIMES FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW 3/4 FULL AND AFTER GAUGE GETS AROUND 1/2 FULL, THE GAUGE WILL DROP TO EMPTY. NEVER SURE HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN TANK. WOULD NOT WANT TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND CAUSE A CRASH. NISSAN HAS RECALLS FOR THE 2006 AND 2008 FRONTIER FOR THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN OFFERED ME $250.00 TOWARDS THE REPAIRS AT THEIR DEALERSHIP. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE 2007 MODEL'S ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. NISSAN IS OBVIOUSLY AWARE OF OTHER YEAR VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND DO NOT WANT TO FIX THEIR DEFECT AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER KING CAB. FIRST OFF WHEN MY TANK WOULD GET TO JUST UNDER A QUARTER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND I WOULD HAVE TO DISCONNECT AND RECONNECT THE BATTERY TO MAKE THE LIGHT GO AWAY. NOW MY GAUGE READS EMPTY ON A FULL TANK OF GAS AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ARE ON. THIS FIRST HAPPENED RIGHT AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY A FEW DAYS AGO. GAUGE IS STUCK A EMPTY AND LIGHTS WILL NOT GO AWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
FIRST NOTICEABLE COMPLAINT IS THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT SHIFT BACK DOWN IN LOWER GEAR WHEN CLIMBING A HILL. IT JERKS AND SHAKES AT THAT MOMENT.SECONDLY, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR DOES NOT GO OFF AFTER CORRECTING THE TIRE PRESSURE AND KEEPING IT CONSTANT. WERE TOLD THE DEALER WILL HAVE TO RESET,WHICH THEY DID ONCE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN SO FOR 2 YEARS WE HAVE JUST LIVED WITH IT, KEEPING CHECK ON TIRE PRESSURE THE OLD WAY. LAST BUT DEFINITELY NOT LEAST FOR THIS IS THE COST FACTOR INVOLVED, IS THE ALIGNMENT CANNOT BE DONE DUE TO NEEDING TO PURCHASE AND HAVE INSTALLED 4 CAMBER KITS! NISSAN SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS ALREADY FOR A $25,000 VEHICLE!! OH AND FINALLY THIS JUST HAPPENED BUT THE REAR PASSENGER POWER WINDOW SWITCH WENT COMPLETELY OUT! *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAS FAILED IN MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THIS SENSOR WILL COST ALMOST $500.00. PLEASE HELP INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4X4 CREW CAB PICKUP. I PURCHASED THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE NEW IN 2007. RECENTLY THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE DROPPING TO EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY WHEN I KNEW I HAD AT LEAST 1/4 TANK OF GASOLINE. IF I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND STARTED IT BACK UP THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE WOULD INDICATE 1/4 TANK, AND THEN SHORTLY AFTERWARD DROP TO EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE VERY COMMON AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 45,800 MILES ON IT. IN MY OPINION RUNNING OUT OF FUEL OR BEING DISTRACTED BY A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. I REQUEST THAT THIS PROBLEM IS INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL IS INITIATED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ON THE TRUCK BECAME INACCURATE CAUSING ENGINE TO UNEXPECTEDLY STOP RUNNING FROM LACK OF FUEL. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS CONDITION IN NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE TRUCK IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC. NISSAN DEALER SAID THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE TANK HAD FAILED AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY DUE TO EXCEEDING MILEAGE AND TIME WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON OR ABOUT 7-15-10, I FILLED THE FUEL TANK IN MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER SE CREW CAB TO CAPACITY. WITHIN SECONDS OF STARTING AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTERWARDS, THE "SERVICE ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND MY FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DROPPED TO THE HALF-FULL MARK. IT HAS BEEN ERRATIC SINCE THAT EVENT AND HAS NOT PROPERLY INDICATED HOW MUCH FUEL REMAINS IN THE TANK. ON 7-16-10, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS PURCHASED. THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND ADVISED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. THEY ALSO ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THAT PART, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT PART FOR THE NISSAN TITAN. THROUGH RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NISSAN HAS HAD PREVIOUS RECALLS ON FUEL SENDING UNITS ON OTHER MODEL YEARS AND VEHICLES, AND MANY OWNERS HAVE POSTED THE SIMILAR PROBLEM ONLINE, SPECIFICALLY REGARDING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. NISSAN IS AT THIS TIME UNWILLING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST, WHICH I FIND FRUSTRATING AS IT IS AN OBVIOUS PART PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS THAT AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING CAUSED BY THIS FAULTY UNIT COULD LEAD TO A STALLED VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, POSING A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY RISK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DROVE THE TRUCK WITH THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT ON FOR SEVERAL MILES. UPON FILLING UP THE TANK, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT REMAINED ON AND NEEDLE SHOWED EMPTY. SHORTLY AFTERWARD, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MIL CODE IS P0463 - FUEL LEVEL SENSOR PROBLEM. RESETTING THE CODE WORKS FOR A FEW DAYS BUT THEN THE MIL LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THE GAS GAUGE IS ERRATIC, SOMETIMES SHOWING EMPTY WHEN IT'S NOT. SO WE HAVE TO TRACK THE APPROXIMATE FUEL REMAINING BY USING THE TRIP ODOMETER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED AND WAS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS.

THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE DEALER PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT HIS EXPENSE AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 12/15/10. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY. UPDATED 12/27/10

I HAVE A 2007 FRONTIER AND HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I FILLED THE TRUCK AND THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY. AFTER DRIVING FOR 10-15 MINUTES IT WOULD FLOAT UP TO NEAR THE FULL MARK, BUT THEN IT WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO HALF FULL. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND THIS IN TURN AUTOMATICALLY FAILED MY EMISSIONS TEST. *TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWED THAT I HAD A QUARTER TANK BUT I RAN OUT OF GAS. WENT TO STATION AND FILLED UP AND GAUGE STILL SHOWED 1/4 TANK. ON 8/2, GAUGE FINALLY REPORTED THAT I HAD 3/4 TANK OF GAS WHICH WAS PROBABLY CLOSE TO WHAT WAS IN MY TANK. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR NISSAN FRONTIERS, BUT MY YEAR (2007) DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE RECALL DATABASE. *TR
