FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL TANK LEVEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR. I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ARE: 2005-2007 FRONTIERS, XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE NOT KNOWING THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN YOUR VEHICLE. SOMEONE COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND PUT THEIR LIVE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S IN JEOPARDY. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AROUND APPROX. 39,000 TO 50,000 MILEAGE ON ODOMETER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1. WHEN I FILL MY ,2005 NISSAN FRONTIER XE ,UP WITH GAS OR IT IS TO LOW ON GAS MY FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 MODEL. 2. THE FAILURE IS WITH MY FUEL SENDING UNIT. IT OCCURS ALL THE TIME. IT PROHIBITS ME FROM READING MY GAS LEVEL. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY NISSAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PART I NEED TO FIX IT CANNOT BE PURCHASED THROUGH THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY SAY THE UNIT IS ON RESTRICTION DUE TO THE RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL. THIS SAME PART IS COVERED IN THE 2006 RECALL BUT NOT FOR THE 2005 MODEL AND NO ONE CAN ANSWER WHY. *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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. IN DECEMBER 2009, HE NOTICED, WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD GIVE INCORRECT READINGS.

HE NOTICED THE FAILURE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL GAUGE ASSEMBLY, THE PACKING FUEL GAUGE WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. HE LATER FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILIARY TANK).
