FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA, AND AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK MY FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. AFTER RESEARCHING A LITTLE IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER NISSAN CUSTOMERS. APPARENTLY NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THIS AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I DRIVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA AND HAVE 27,100 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE CAR HIT 26,000 MILES, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE FUEL SENSOR LINE WHICH DOESN'T REGISTER THE AMOUNT OF GAS BEING USED. THE GAS GAUGE IS EXTREMELY ERRATIC AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. I'VE BEEN STUCK A COUPLE TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE SAID THAT I HAD HALF A TANK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE USUALLY PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE (SMALL CHILDREN) AND TO HAVE TO PULL A CAR OVER ON A HIGHWAY BECAUSE IT RAN OUT OF GAS IS QUITE A PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO LUG CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR AND WALK THE HIGHWAY LOOKING FOR A GAS STATION. I'VE READ ONLINE WHERE NUMEROUS PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. WHY WOULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS NOT BE RECALLED? HOW MAY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR BECOME SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE SOMETHING IS RECALLED? PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY RESOLVE BEFORE SOMEONE'S LIFE IS EITHER ENDED BECAUSE OF DEATH OR INJURY. THANK YOU. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN XTERRA. HE RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE # 08V690000 FOR THE AIR BAGS: FRONTAL. A TECHNICIAN STATED THAT BECAUSE OWNERSHIP CHANGED THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR SIX WEEKS. A DELAY IN HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED HAS INCREASED HIS RISK IF THE AIR BAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY. HE ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER DEALER; HOWEVER, THEY ARE TOO FAR AWAY AND HIS MEDICAL CONDITION MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TRAVEL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED HIM WITH ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 30,000.

I FILLED UP MY 2006 XTERRA WITH GAS (THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON BEFORE I FILLED UP) AND RIGHT AFTER I FILLED UP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GAS GAUGE BARELY MOVED. I HAVE 36,088 MILES. MY FACTORY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED. I HAVE READ MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. I DROVE HOME (5 MILES AWAY) AND THE LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF. I ALSO TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE SEVERAL TIMES.*TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE NEEDLE ON EMPTY. DISCOUNT AUTO PARTS TOLD ME THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SAYS THAT THE FUEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AFTER RESEARCHING, APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN XTERRAS AND WAS ONCE RECALLED IN 2004 FOR ALL 2000-2004 MODELS, BUT NISSAN ISN'T RECALLING THEM ANYMORE. I FEEL THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURERS ERROR AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED! *TR

STEERING
WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC MY STEERING BECAME TIGHT. ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GO INTO THE OTHER LANE. ONCE YOU DROVE FOR A FEW MINS. THE STEERING WOULD GET BETTER. THEN WITHOUT WARNING THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY LOOSE. I COULD MOVE IT UP AND DOWN. TOOK TO DEALER TO FIND THAT MY STEERING COLUMN WAS BROKEN! 06 WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT SHOULD NOT HAVE A STEERING COLUMN TO BREAK. I HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT NOT COVERED. I CALL MANY DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY STEERING COLUMNS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT. IT WAS A SCARY DAY FOR ME WHEN YOU PULL OUT AND EXPECT THE STEERING TO WORK. *TR
