FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND DROVE TO WORK WITH INTENTIONS ON FILLING UP WHEN I GOT OFF OF WORK. AFTER GETTING OFF, I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND THE GAS LIGHT WAS ON AND THE GAUGE WAS BELOW THE E. I WENT TO DIRECTLY TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE AND THE GAS LIGHT STAYED ON. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE NOT GONE TO THE DEALER YET, BUT AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE, I THOUGHT I WOULD GO AHEAD AND START THE COMPLAINT PROCESS. I DON'T HAVE THE 400 TO 600 DOLLARS RIGHT NOW TO PAY ON AN ISSUE THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED YEARS AGO SO I WILL HAVE TO PRAY THAT I DO NOT RUN OUT OF GAS UNTIL I HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO REPAIR NISSAN'S PROBLEM. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. ABOUT A MONTH AGO WHEN I WOULD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT INDICATING THE AIRBAG WAS DEACTIVATED WOULD TURN ON. I AM 5' 3" AND WEIGHT 115 LBS. WE TOOK IT TO A KEN GARFF NISSAN IN SALT LAKE CITY. THEY DID AN AIRBAG SYSTEMS CHECK ON THE CAR AND SAID IT WAS WORKING FINE. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN MANUFACTURING TO SEE WHAT THE WEIGHT LIMIT WAS SET AT FOR THE COMPUTER TO DECIDE IF IT WAS A CHILD OR NOT, THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER. THE LADY SAID SHE (OR THE TECHNICAL PERSON SHE CONTACTED) DID NOT KNOW THE WEIGHT. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN WOULD SAY A CHILD WEIGHTS 115 LBS. I KNOW SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG IN THE SYSTEM ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR DID NOT DO THIS WHEN WE FIRST GOT IT. *TR

2005 XTERRA - CODE P0463 - FUEL SENDING UNIT ERROR. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE NOW FOR OWNERS WITH MODELS 2005 AND NEWER. NISSAN NEEDS TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION WITH A RECALL FOR NEWER VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE GAS SIGN DROPS AFTER FILLING UP INDICATING E WITH A LIGHT ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHICH HAS STAYED ON EVER SINCE JUNE 5, 2009. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE WOULD SWITCH DRIVERS AND WOULDN'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS THERE ARE, THAT'S A PROBLEM. WE PURCHASED THE NISSAN X-TERRA IN 2007, BUT IT IS THE MODEL YEAR 2006. THE PROBLEM DOES OCCUR WITHIN TWO YEARS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON REPAIRING OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS APPARENT THAT THE DEFECT CAME FROM THE MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE. WE ARE STILL STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. IF THIS PROBLEM DOESN'T GET SOLVED, THERE WILL BE FURTHER ACTIONS. FIGURING THAT SINCE WE ARE LOYAL CUSTOMERS, THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF UNDERSTANDING. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA HAS FAILED (THE FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS) THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER ON THE HIGHWAY IF I WERE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL - OR IT COULD LEAVE ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. REPLACED FUEL SENDING UNIT AT A LOCAL SHOP. OLD UNIT IS UNAVAILABLE. *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN X-TERRA'S FUEL GAUGE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY AND ITS FUNCTIONALITY IS TIED TO A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT. THE GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY EVEN WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE TANK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSANS. *TR

2005 NISSAN XTERRA FUEL GAUGE SLOWLY SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE CAR (APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK). FROM MANY FORUMS THE PROBLEMS IS OBVIOUS AND THERE IS A NEED FOR A RECALL BY NISSAN. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IN THE VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE ON ALL NISSAN XTERRA'S PLATFORM (INCLUDING FRONTIER & PATHFINDER) AFTER 40K MILES ON THE CAR. THE COST OF SUCH REPAIR BY DEALERS AMOUNTS TO $600 DOLLARS FOR PARTS AND LABOR. *TR

FUEL SENSOR HAS GONE OUT AT 57,000 MILES. THIS CAUSES THE GAS GAUGE NOT TO WORK OR WORK VERY SLOWLY. IN TAKING IT TO DEALER, FIX IS 475.00. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT SEEMS ALL NISSAN SUV EXPERIENCE THIS. I ASKED DEALER ABOUT THIS AND HE SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN, BUT IT RECOMMENDED BUYING A BETTER PART. *TR

TODAY, I HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS AND FILLED UP BEFORE TAKING A SHORT ROAD TRIP. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, THE GAS GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. I PULLED OVER, CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP WAS ON PROPERLY AND STARTED THE CAR BACK UP. THE GAUGE STILL READ EMPTY, THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM SENSOR THAT IS A KNOW DEFECT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY NISSAN XTERRA IS HAVING A FUEL GAUGE/SENSOR PROBLEM WHICH RESULTS IN THE DRIVER HAVING NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON NISSAN XTERRAS, PATHFINDERS AND FRONTIERS. ALL ONE NEEDS TO DO IS AN INTERNET SEARCH TO SEE HOW COMMON THIS PROBLEM IS. NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH ME IN GETTING THIS FIXED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS BETWEEN $300-500 (MOST OF WHICH IS LABOR) AND A VEHICLE CAN NOT PASS INSPECTION IF THEY HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY RUN OUT OF GAS IN A NOT SO NICE AREA WHILE GOING 55 MPH AND CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE/GETTING IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WAS DIFFICULT WHEN IT WAS OUT OF GAS. I WAS FEARFUL OF NOT ONLY THE DIFFICULTY IN HANDLING/DEALING WITH THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE MANNER SO AS TO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT IMAGINE MY SURPRISE THAT WAS OUT OF GAS AND I COULD NOT TELL BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY SENSOR NOT INDICATING ACTUALLY HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE CAR. I WAS FEARFUL FOR MY SAFETY BECAUSE THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY IN A NOT SO NICE AREA IN THE METRO NYC AREA. ALL ONE NEEDS TO DO IS AN INTERNET SEARCH ON NISSAN FUEL GAUGE OR SENSOR PROBLEMS AND WILL SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NISSAN HAS RECALLED EARLIER MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT HAS NOT RECALLED ANY VEHICLES FROM 2005 ON FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PROBLEM. A NISSAN MECHANIC AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM ON XTERRAS, PATHFINDERS AND FRONTIERS AND WISHED ME GOOD LUCK IN GETTING NISSAN TO FIX IT UNDER A RECALL SINCE HE THOUGHT IT WAS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT NISSAN WOULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AT ALL. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT NISSAN WILL NOT REPAIR THIS ISSUE SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR

I HAVE NISSAN XTERRA '07 WITH 41K MILES ON IT. ON OUR 4-TH OF JULY TRIP AFTER FUELING UP THE FULL TANK I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL NEEDLE DID NOT GO UP AFTER I STARTED THE ENGINE. IT TOOK ~30 MINUTES THEN IT WENT ALL THE WAY UP. BUT THEN WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THAT THE "ENGINE SERVICE SOON" LIGHT IS ON AND THE FUEL LEVEL NEEDLE IS ALL THE WAY DOWN (LIKE NO FUEL AT ALL.) THEN I READ THAT THE ESS LIGHTS UP WHEN THE VEHICLE THINKS THERE IS NO FUEL SO IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION. LATER I INVESTIGATED MORE AND FOUND OUT THAT A LO OF PEOPLE WITH XTERRAS 05-07 HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME MILEAGE. THE P/N 25060-ZS00A ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN # NTB07-69A. I THINK ALL THESE DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSORS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR
