FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
NISSAN FRONTIER 2006 FUEL GUAGE NO LONGER WORKING. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER. VEHICLE HAS 50K MILES ON IT. DEALER TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS NOT A RECALL, AND SINCE THE TRUCK IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THIS WOULD COST ME $450 OUT OF POCKET. FROM READING POSTS ON THE WEB, I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSANS FROM 2005-2007. I HAVE NO WAY OF BEING SURE I HAVE SUFFICIENT FUEL, WHICH WOULD SEEM, TO ME, TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT IF I AM CAUGHT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER WITH NO FUEL? I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO DANGER IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE *AS IS*...... AND AM TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THIS WOULD NOT BE A RECALL ISSUE IF SO MANY VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED BY THE SAME THING.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE AN 03 NISSAN FRONTIER SE 4 DR. IT IS BLUE AND THE PAINT IS COMING OFF, ALL THE WAY TO THE PRIMER. YOU CAN SEE IT RAISED AND THEN IT JUST FLAKES OFF. IT FIRST STARTED IN 06 WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY ON THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND NISSAN REPAINTED IT AND NOW IT IS FLAKING OFF EVERYWHERE ELSE EXCEPT ON THE ROOF AND BOTH PASSENGER DOORS. I KNOW IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR PAINT AND IT BEGAN WHEN IT WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. BECAUSE OF THIS IF I WERE TO TRY AND RESALE IT AT THIS POINT I WOULD TAKE A BIG HIT ON PRICE BECAUSE OF THE PAINT JOB AND THEN THERE IS A HEALTH ISSUE WITH CHILDREN, SUPPOSE A FLAKE AS BIG AS A QUARTER IS SPOTTED BY A SMALL CHILD AND THEY INSERT IN THERE MOUTH AND GET SICK OR WORSE, THERE'S NO WAY I CAN BE LIABLE FOR THAT SO THEREFORE IF I'M NOT LIABLE THEN SOMEONE ELSE IS AND THAT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD BE NISSAN, SO IF NISSAN IS LIABLE THEN THEY NEED TO REPAINT IT NOW. *TR

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AS REPORTED BY MANY OTHER NISSAN FRONTIER OWNERS . I SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED BY NISSAN FOR 2006 AND 2008 MODELS . I AM EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON MY 2005 FRONTIER . I CONTRACTED THE DEALER AND THEY WILL NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT THEIR COST . WHY WON'T THEY RECALL THE 2005 FRONTIERS IF THE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM ? [XXX] . *TR
