FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
WE HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA AND AM HAVING THE SAME FUEL SENSOR ISSUE AS SO MANY OTHERS. WE FILL UP AND THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THIS CAUSES US TO NOT PASS EMISSIONS UNTIL IT IS FIXED, WHICH IS A 600.00+ ISSUE SINCE THE GAS TANK NEEDS REMOVED TO FIX IT. VERY FRUSTRATING SINCE A SIMPLE SEARCH OF THE WEB SHOWS HUNDREDS OF NISSANS IN OR AROUND 1 YEAR DIFFERENCE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM! NISSAN RECALLS MORE THAN 500,000 VEHICLES REGARDING:FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM, SOURCE OF MANY COMPLAINTS, BEING ADDRESSED I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER, THEY REPORTED THAT MY 2005 XTERRA VIN# WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK FAILED WHICH ALSO AFFECTS THE FUEL GAUGE. THE FUEL GAUGE MAY INDICATE THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL; HOWEVER, IT COULD ACTUALLY BE EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPAIR COST WAS $700 AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR RELATED WARRANTIES FOR HER MODEL YEAR VEHICLE. THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND INFORMED HER THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ON MY 2006 XTERRA THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED THE NISSAN DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS NOT RELATED TO ANY RECALL. HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN I HAVE NOTICE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM 2006 XTERRA OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2005 NISSAN XTERRA FUEL SENSOR ISSUE. THE FUEL SENSOR WILL TRIGGER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHEN REFUELING. THE SENSOR WILL READ EMPTY ON A FULL TANK AND THEN SLOWLY CREEP UP TO FULL OVER TIME. THIS IS THE SAME DESCRIPTION OF AN ISSUE AS THE RECENTLY RECALLED 06 NISSAN XTERRA'S. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NISSAN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL READER IS NOT FUNCTIONING SO I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE. I HOOKED UP A DIAGNOSTIC TO IT AND DISCOVERED A CODE THAT INDICATES A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM. THEY MADE ME GO INTO NISSAN AND HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE IT. THEY CHARGED ME $120 DOLLARS AND TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS GOING TO COST $600 TO REPLACE. NISSAN JUST RECALLED ALL XTERRAS FROM 2006 TO 2008 BECAUSE OF FAULTY FUEL SENSORS. I FOUND A WEBSITE THAT HAS ONE HUNDRED OTHER OWNERS OF A 2005 XTERRA WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN TOLD ME THEY COULD HELP ME OUT BY KNOCKING OFF $250 FROM THE $600. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MANY ARE EXPERIENCING AND I WANT TO SEE IF I CAN GET SOME HELP. *TR

STEERING, SUSPENSION:FRONT
2005 NISSAN XTERRA PURCHASED IN 2006 WITH 19,000 MILES CURRENT MILEAGE 59,000. AFTER THE PURCHASE I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE TRUCK HITS RUTS ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL FOLLOW THEM. AT TIMES THE TRUCK FEELS COMPLETELY UNCONTROLLABLE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO THE TRUCK CAUGHT RUTS THAT THREW ME INTO THE OTHER LANE NO AMOUNT OF CORRECTION COULD STOP IT. HAD THERE BEEN A CAR NEXT TO ME THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. WHEN I ASKED THE DEALER TO INVESTIGATE MY SAFETY CONCERNS THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME MONEY RATHER THAN ADDRESS MY SAFETY CONCERNS. MY RESEARCH IN 2006 SHOWED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON XTERRA WEB SITES ABOUT STEERING ISSUES BUT THE OWNERS WROTE THEM OFF AS BEING THE NATURE OF THE BEAST 4WD. VIN AVAILABLE ON REQUEST I DO NOT HAVE WITH ME. I HAVE OWNED A 2000 FORD F250 4X4 AND TWO 4X4 FORD RANGERS 02 AND 04, NONE OF THEM EVER CAUGHT THE RUTS IN THE ROAD. NONE OF MY OTHER CURRENT VEHICLES HAVE RUT PROBLEMS EITHER WITH TWICE THE MILEAGE, 90 GEO 152,000, 92 STEALTH TT 150,000 AND A 67 SKYLARK 96,000, ALL HAVE ORIGINAL FRONT END PARTS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE RECALL - NISSAN I OWN A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA, THAT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECENT RECALL FOR NISSAN VEHICLES WITH THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM. MY PROBLEM WAS ON 04/06/2009, AND COST ME $443.65+TAX TO HAVE FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN, AND ALL I GOT WAS "A CALL BACK IN 3 WEEKS" RESPONSE. THE CURRENT RECALL COVERS NISSAN "XTERRAS" PRODUCED BETWEEN JANUARY AND MARCH 2006 AND BETWEEN OCTOBER 2007 AND JANUARY 2008. THE PROBLEM EXISTED PRIOR TO THAT, IE: MY 2005 XTERRA. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER 2005 MODELS, AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. THE PROBLEM WAS NOT MY FAULT........ *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON AN '08 NISSAN XTERRA S WITH ONLY 17,000 MILES, THE RIGHT FRONT INNER BRAKE PAD WAS COMPLETELY WORN DOWN AND MADE METAL TO METAL CONTACT WITH ROTOR, RUINING THE ROTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING BADLY TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ONLY THE INNER PADS WERE AFFECTED,THE OUTER BRAKE PADS LOOKED LIKE NEW, SHOWING THAT THE BRAKE CALIPER WAS STUCK ON THE BRACKET. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE 2 INNER PADS, LEFT AND RIGHT, WERE STUCK IN THE BRACKET, WHICH STOPS THE CALIPER FROM FLOATING OR MOVING. AT 17,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY INVOICE SAYS "BOTH INNER PADS STUCK IN CALIPERS". *TR

MY 2005 XTERRA GAS GAGE GOES TO EMPTY AND WILL NOT SHOW TRUE AMOUNT IN TANK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 1 MONTH. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE STAYS ON AND I KNOW IT IS FROM THE FILL VALVE FROM THE GAS TANK. I HAD ONE REPLACED ALREADY ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM IS BACK. THIS IS A RE OCCURRING PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN CONTINUING FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS. ALSO THE LATCH FOR THE REAR HATCH SOME TIMES WILL LOCK AND NOT OPEN I ALSO REPLACED THIS ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
WHEN MY MILEAGE HIT 36,446 MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. IT FAILED INSPECTION AND THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $600.00 TO FIX. NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS AND THEY SAID MINE IS NOT ONE OF THEM HOW CAN THIS BE? BY THE WAY I HAVE SPOKEN TO AT LEAST 2 OTHER XTERRA OWNERS AND THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS IS OCCURRING IN MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL DOES IT REQUIRE INVESTIGATING. IT FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE FUEL PUMP THAT IS GIVING A BAD EMISSIONS READING. *TR

FUEL SENSOR IN 2005 NISSAN XTERRA IS GIVING FAULTY READINGS ---NISSAN KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAVE ISSUED A PARTIAL RECALL, BUT IT DOES NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO THE ACTUAL MODELS INVOLVED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I ASSUMED I HAD GAS AS THE GAUGE READ 1/4 TANK. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY BETWEEN TOWNS, AND HAD TO CALL FOR HELP. SINCE THEN, IF THE GAUGE GETS DOWN TO JUST UNDER 1/2, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE NEEDLE FALLS TO THE BOTTOM AND READS EMPTY. I HAVE TO TRACK MY GAS USAGE BY MILEAGE, AND ON TRIPS THIS IS A HUGE PAIN. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS FAULTY. AFTER FILLING UP TANK IT READS ZERO FOR SOME TIME UNTIL SLOWLY PROGRESSING TO CORRECT LEVEL. ALSO, WILL SOMETIMES JUST DROP TO ZERO/EMPTY. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER FILLING UP TANK THEN GOES OUT ONCE I REACH ABOUT HALF TO QUARTER TANK (IF THE FUEL GAUGE IS READING CORRECTLY). SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR WEEKS - THE CODE READING IS FOR A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I OWNED THE 2000 XTERRA AND THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WAS RECALLED FOR THAT VEHICLE. *TR

NOW AT AROUND 52,000 MILES MY FUELS GAUGE STOP WORKING WHICH CAUSED MY TRUCK TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN IT AND I SEE NO RECALL ON THESE ISSUES FROM NISSAN .MY BROTHER HAS A PATHFINDER WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR
