FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON AFTER EVERY FILL UP OF FUEL. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW AN ACCURATE READING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 DAYS. SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO'S FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, BUT I IGNORED IT BECAUSE I HAD ALLOWED THE WARNING LIGHT TO GO ON AND THOUGHT THAT AFTER A FEW FILL UPS IT WOULD REGISTER CORRECTLY, BUT IT DID NOT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER, ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE, ASKED FOR OVER $400 TO REPAIR, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. NOW I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING THE TANK AFTER EVERY 200 -250 MILES FEARING I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD SUCH AS WHEN I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE TURNPIKE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
10 MONTHS AGO MY 05 NISSAN FRONTIER HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. TURNS OUT IS WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. NOW THE FUEL SENSOR DOESN'T WORK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR FRONTIERS, XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS. I HAVE FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS, AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, YET STILL NO RECALL. IN ADDITION TO THE $90 DIAGNOSTIC, WE ARE BEING QUOTED $400 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE WILL WORK FINE OFR A WHILE, THEN GET STUCK, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED TWICE ON THE INTERSTATE.*TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT 41,000MILES MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER V6 BEGAN HAVING A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL SENDING UNIT CAUSING IMPROPER READING OF THE FUEL GAUGE. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING NISSANS WITH THE 4.0L V6 IN XTERRA'S, PATHFINDERS AND FRONTIERS. THIS USUALLY OCCURS BETWEEN 39K-49K MILES. NISSAN HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD CONSIDERING THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS MISREADING. NISSAN WANTS THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY $450 FOR A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE ON THEIR PART.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY FUEL LEVEL GAUGE INDICATED I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS LEFT. I STOPPED AND FILLED IT WITH 17 GALLONS AT THE LOCAL SHELL GAS STATION. AFTER FILLING, AS I WAS LEAVING THE STATION I NOTICED MY FUEL GAUGE HAD NOT MOVED AND STILL DISPLAYED 1/4 OF A TANK. I ALSO NOTICED MY CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND A COMPUTER READ OUT INDICATED A BAD FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. AFTER A REVIEW ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 FRONTIER KING CAB NISMO WITH 56,000 MILES ON IT. PUT FUEL IN IT TODAY AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT RISE ABOVE HALF FULL. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. A FEW MILES LATER THE GAUGE PLUNGED TO EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ON. ON MY RETURN TRIP THE GAUGE MOVED UP TO HALF WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON. IT APPEARS FROM MY RESEARCH THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS BAD AND THAT NUMEROUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME EXPENSIVE ISSUE. APPARENTLY THIS CAN CAUSE THE FUEL TO STOP BEING SENT AND POTENTIALLY LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MY CALL TO THE DEAL WILL BE TOMORROW AM. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS XTERRA'S WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME ISSUE IN PRIOR MODEL YEARS. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO I HAD A ABS SENSOR REPLACED AT $400. THE REAR END WAS DROPPED AT TWO WEEKS OLD TO FIX ANOTHER SENSOR AND ON AND ON. THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN RELIABLE AND I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY NISSAN PRODUCT AT THIS POINT! IT DOES NOT GO MORE THAN 2 MONTHS WITHOUT SOMETHING GOING WRONG WITH IT. HELP! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS QUIT WORKING FOR THE SECOND TIME WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE FALSE READINGS. NISSAN REPLACED THE UNIT WHEN IT QUIT AT 10000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY BUT, NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE UNIT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE I FOUND OUT WE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE UNITS. NISSAN DOES SEEM TO BE FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT, JUST COVING IT UP. AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY DO NOT WANT TO TRY TO COVER IT, THEY WANT ME TO PAY $400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR WHICH I AM NOT GOING TO DO. BESIDES THE FACT THAT $100 FOR PARTS AND $300 FOR LABOR IS OUTRAGEOUS I AM NOT GOING TO REPLACE THIS PART JUST HAVE IT FAIL AGAIN. THIS PART SHOULD BE ON A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED 2, 3, OR 4 TIMES OR EVEN AT 10000 MILES. NOW MY PROBLEM IS THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE USING MORE GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE BEEN GOING OFF OF THE MILEAGE BECAUSE I KNOW MY VEHICLE WILL DO A LITTLE OVER 400 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS BUT, IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD AT 11:30 AT NIGHT WITH 352 MILES SHOWING. MY GIRLFRIEND ALSO HAS TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND I FEAR HER SAFETY WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SHE COULD GET STUCK IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD OR IN DALLAS, TX TRAFFIC IT IS NOT EASY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM SETS OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION IS OUT. THEY WILL NOT LET THE VEHICLE PASS WITH THIS ON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 NISSAN FRONTIER XE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE FAILED AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST EXPERIENCED AT 63,000 MILES AND THE CONTACT HAD THE WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED. CURRENTLY, AT 70,000 MILES, THE FAILURE HAS RECURRED. NISSAN HAS PROVIDED TO PAY FOR THE PART, BUT NOT THE LABOR. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THE FAILURES SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HE FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE FAILURES COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,000.

UPON REACHING APPROXIMATELY 37,000 MILES ON MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN ACTING WILDLY AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF TO INDICATE I HAD A BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT. CODE 0463. THE GAUGE WILL NOT REGISTER ANY FUEL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL OR WHEN IT'S NEAR EMPTY. WHEN THE TANK IS HALF FUEL THE GAUGE SEEMS TO WORK. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM VIA SERVICE BULLETIN NTB07-069A. HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT STEPPED UP TO RECALL THIS KNOWN FAULTY PART. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNITS THEY PU IN MY TRUCK. IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF THESE FAILURES ARE HAPPENING NEAR THE 40K MARK SO NISSAN DOES NOT COVER THEM UNDER NORMAL WARRANTY. VERY CONVENIENT FOR THEM. *TR
