FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 45,000 MILES DEVELOPED "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WHEN FILLED UP WITH GASOLINE. CODE SHOWN WHEN READ WAS "FUEL SENDING UNIT HIGH OUTPUT". AFTER RESEARCH WITH SEVERAL NISSAN DEALERS, AN APPROXIMATE REPAIR COST OF $600 WAS GIVEN, INCLUDING A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR READING THE CODES. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROPERLY OPERATING FUEL GAUGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES SINCE, DUE TO HIGH COST OF REPAIR NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS A RISK SINCE THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY ONCE TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER COMPONENTS UPON VEHICLE CEASING TO OPERATE ONCE OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A RECURRING DEFECT IN SIMILAR AND PAST MODEL YEARS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS CHOOSING TO IGNORE ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THE LOWER HINGE ON MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER KING CAB PICK UP BROKE FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE FIRST TIME, IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AT 18,050 MILES AND THE MILEAGE AT THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IS 38, 567. I HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING VERY SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THESE TAILGATES. IF THIS HINGE WAS TO BREAK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING, IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT THE TAILGATE COULD FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR FALL OFF FROM ONE SIDE. THIS COULD POSE A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD TO THE VEHICLES BEHIND AND/OR TO THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT REPAIRING THE TAILGATE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE FIX WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY. I WILL HAVE IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALER BUT HAVE BEEN GIVEN NO ASSURANCE THAT THE DESIGN HAS BEEN IMPROVED OR MODIFIED TO PREVENT ITS RECURRENCE. *TR

FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM 2007 FRONTIER -47,000 MILE. AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS A COMMON RECURRING PROBLEM WITH NISSAN MODELS AND BECAUSE IT IS NOT A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE, NISSAN DOES NOT FEEL THE NECESSITY TO ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND THE GAS GAUGE WORKS SPORADICALLY. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AND SHUT DOWN AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A CRASH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 NISSAN FRONTIER XE 4 CYLINDER MANUAL TRANS. AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING UP, AND READ EMPTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY, SOMETIMES READING CORRECTLY WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONING AT APPROXIMATELY HALF TANK, CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEN IT CEASED TO FUNCTION AT ALL WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. NISSAN OF SANTA ROSA TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY Q CERTIFIED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY 100,000 MILES OR 2 YEARS. NISSAN TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND THE SENSOR INSIDE THE GAS TANK NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AT MY CHARGE. ALSO, I CANNOT HAVE MY EVAP EMISSIONS SYSTEM RECALL WORK PERFORMED UNTIL THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM PROBLEM IS FIXED. AS A RESULT I CANNOT COMPLETE MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION FOR THIS YEAR. I DEMAND A RECALL OF THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THANK YOU. *TR

THE RUBBER PAD THAT ACTIVATES THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH CRUMBLED AND FELL APART LEAVING THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUALLY ON WITH NO INDICATION INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT AN UNSAFE CONDITION EXISTED. SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE CONTINUALLY ON DRIVERS TO THE REAR WOULD NOT HAVE HAD NOTIFICATION THAT I WAS STOPPING WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SEVERE REAR END COLLISION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB 4X4 HAD THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (SES) COME ON AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL AROUND 46,800 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO WORK AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER BUT THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF FOR THE SES. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND SERVICED ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN SEPT OF 2006 , SO IT IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD BUT SINCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 36,000 MILES I CAN NOT GO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE. I ALSO HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PAINT ISSUES, FADING, CHIPPING AND RUST ON THIS TRUCK AND HAVE , AS STATED BEFORE ALWAYS TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
WHILE CLEANING TRUCK, I NOTICED HUNDREDS OF SMALL CRACKS IN THE TIRE SIDEWALL AREA ON ALL FOUR TIRES. ALL SMALL CRACKS WERE ON THE SIDEWALL THAT WAS EXPOSED. NO CRACKS WERE OBSERVED ON THE INNER SIDEWALL AREA. NO FAILURE NOTED AS OF NOW BUT I'M LEARY ABOUT KEEPING THESE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE TIRES ARE MICHELIN XCX/APT TRUCK/SUV TIRES THAT WERE INSTALLED ON 10/2004 AND THEY HAVE ONLY 33,268 MILES ON THEM SO FAR (60K MILE WARRANTY). THE VEHICLE IS A 2000 NISSAN FRONTIER XE, V6, 2WD. THE TIRE SIZE IS P235/75R15. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE BRAKE PEDAL IS LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I ALL MOST HIT A TREE BECAUSE OF DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD BE AT LEAST 4.1 INCHES FROM THE FLOOR. MY TRUCK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM THE FLOOR. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS OK. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THINGS REPAIR WITH THIS DEALER, PIEDMONT NISSAN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB STOPPED WORKING RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS UP. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING AND GIVING FALSE READINGS, THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. SINCE THE FUEL SENSOR IS TIED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN A SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER UNTIL THE ITEM WAS REPAIRED. TO REPAIR THIS, THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REMOVED. THIS COST ME 400 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THE UNIT TO BE DEFECTIVE, AS I HAVE BEEN SEEING MORE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASED THIS TRUCK LOGGING THE SAME COMPLAINT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE A FEAR THAT IS THE UNIT IS SHORTING OUT, IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. AFTER ALL, IT SITS ON TOP OF A 20 GALLON FUEL TANK. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR/TONE RING
I NOTICED A "TICKING" SOUND FROM THE REAR OF MY TRUCK. MY OWN INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE "HOUSING" THAT THE REAR SPEED SENSOR IS MOUNTED IN IS CRACKED. THIS IS WHAT CONTROLS THE ABS SYSTEM FOR THE REAR WHEELS. THE "HOUSING" IS MOUNTED TO THE FRONT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL. I DID CHECK AND THERE IS/WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCKS DURING THE 03 YEAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL. THE PART, WHICH I HAVE YET TO REPLACE, IS EXTREMELY CORRODED FOR BEING ONLY 6YEARS OLD WITH 45000 MILES. IT IS MADE OF ALUMINUM. I AM HAVING A HARD TIME LOCATING THE CORRECT PART, EVEN FROM THE DEALER. THE PART THAT I WAS TOLD IS THE CORRECT ONE IS $232. BUT DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH THAT PART IS ONLY THE WIRING FOR THE SENSOR NOT THE METAL "HOUSING". I NOTICED THIS ABOUT 2 MONTHS BACK, BUT THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE SOME RUST IN THE BRAKE DRUM FROM THE WINTER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON AND THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE VERIFIED THAT THIS IS NOT SUBJECT TO A RECALL IN MY MODEL VEHICLE BUT IS SUBJECT TO AN EARLIER MODEL YR RECALL. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY UNTIL I HAVE DRIVEN APPROX 125 MILE AND THEN IT GOES TO THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN # NTB07-69A FOR ITS DEALERS BUT HAS NOT CHOSEN TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR
