FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE IN OUR 2006 NISSAN X-TERRA HAS STOPPED WORKING AND IS CAUSING OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. IF THERE IS A FULL TANK OF GAS, THE GAUGE IS ON EMPTY AND THE LIGHT COMES ON. IT GRADUALLY COMES BACK UP BUT NEVER GOES ABOVE 3/4 FULL TANK. WE WERE QUOTED $800 TO FIX IT BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE SENSOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. THE VEHICLE IS WELL-MAINTAINED. RECENTLY, AFTER SERVICE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND REMAINED ON FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. I NOTICED THAT MY GAS GAUGE WASN'T RESPONDING WHEN I FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK. MY FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ 1/4 TANK AFTER FILLING UP, AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WOULD COME ON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE EXPERIENCED A FAILED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON OUR 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. WE FILLED THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY AND THEN NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT RISE ABOVE 2/3. THEN THE 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON' WARNING LAMP CAME ON. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INCIDENT WE FOUND THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS POSTED ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL NISSAN VEHICLES MODELS AND SEEMS TO BE AN INEVITABLE INCIDENT WITH MOST OF THE MODELS. WE BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART WILL COST BETWEEN $300 - $400. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO THE BOTTOM AND THE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER CRANKING THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER DRIVING A SHORT WAYS THE GAUGE GRADUALLY BEGINS TO MOVE BACK UP TO THE TOP. AFTER SEVERAL DRIVING TRIPS THE CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT WILL TURN ITSELF OFF. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I FILL MY TANK WHETHER THE TANK IS 3/4, 1/2, 1/4, OR EMPTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN XTERRA. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL. THE REMEDY WAS PERFORMED BY SILICONE SPRAY BEING SPRAYED OVER THE STRAP SENDING UNIT, WHICH RESTS ON THE FUEL PUMP AND INDICATES HOW MUCH FUEL THE VEHICLE IS USING. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A CRASH COULD HAVE OCCURRED. HE FEELS THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT FIXED PROPERLY, BUT COVERED UP INSTEAD. HE WOULD LIKE THE REPAIR WORK INVESTIGATED. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 92,000.

STEERING
BEARINGS IN STEERING COLUMN BAD AS PER NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE STEERING STARTED TO STIFFEN UP WHEN I DRIVE. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS FINE AND THEN WHEN I TURN A CORNER, IT TIGHTENS UP AND WILL STAY TIGHT FOR A WHILE AND THEN WILL LOOSEN UP. *TR

I OWN AN 06 XTERRA WITH A SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 24000 KM I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I PULLED OUT TO PASS A TRANSPORT THE CLUTCH FAILED RESULTING IN NO THROTTLE AND I ALMOST GOT CRUSHED BY THE TRANSPORT I HAD JUST PASSED. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THE CLUTCH HAD SHATTERED IN EIGHT PIECES AND THAT IT WAS MY FAULT CAUSE I MUST TOW ALOT. I DON'T EVEN HAVE A TOW HITCH. THEN I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE I DO A LOT OF 4X4 OFFROAD DRIVING. ITS BEEN OFFROAD ONCE. THEY DID NOT WANT TO WARRANTY THE PART I ARGUED WITH THEM. THEY CHANGED THEIR STORY YET AGAIN NOW THE CLUTCH WAS WORN OUT NOT SHATTERED. SO I ASKED FOR MY WORN OUT CLUTCH THEY HAD TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN THROWN IN THE GARBAGE. FOUR DAYS LATER THEY MIRACULOUSLY FOUND IT. IT COST ME $2,000 DOLLARS TO FIX MY TRUCK AND GUESS WHAT ITS HAPPENED AGAIN AT 49,000 KM COINCIDENCE I THINK NOT. ITS TIME TO FIGHT NISSAN BECAUSE U DON'T BUY A NEW VEHICLE TO PUT $2000 OF YOUR OWN MONEY INTO IT EVERY 13 MONTHS AND ALMOST DIE IN THE PROCESS. *TR

TODAY I FILLED THE GAS TANK ON MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA, AND THOUGH THE TANK IS FULL, THE GAS GAUGE STILL READS EMPTY AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT IS ON. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT ON PRE-2005 XTERRAS, AND IS INCREASINGLY EMERGING AS A DEFECT IN MORE RECENT MODELS. I BELIEVE IT POSES A SAFELY HAZARD BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL WHETHER THE 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT INDICATES A REAL ENGINE PROBLEM, OR JUST THE FAILURE OF THE FUEL SENSOR. *TR

I TURNED ON MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA THE OTHER DAY AND SAW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I KNEW THIS WAS CLEARLY WRONG AS I JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICED. TWO DAYS LATER I TURNED ON MY CAR AND THE GAS GAUGE QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY. IT FLUCTUATES UP AND DOWN. I WENT ON THE INTERNET AND RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND THIS TO BE A PROBLEM IN MANY NISSAN'S. THIS CLEARLY IS A DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE DEALT WITH. IT COSTS BETWEEN $300 AND $600 TO FIX AND LOYAL NISSAN OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FOR NISSAN'S MISMANAGEMENT. *TR

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING. I WOULD FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND THE GAUGE WOULD SAY IT WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 55000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND IT COST 400.00 TO HAVE THE FUEL SENSOR REPLACED. THE MECHANIC ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE HAS CHANGED THE FUELS SENSOR NUMEROUS TIMES AND NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT WITH THE NISSAN XTERRA. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FUEL INDICATOR. IT DOES NOT DROP BELOW THE 1/2 FULL MARK, INDICATING THAT I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TWICE AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. FOR A THIRD TIME, I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS, WHILE THE INDICATOR SAYS THAT I HAVE ALMOST HALF A TANK. I HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEM GAIN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN. MY VEHICLE CAME WITH A 36K MILE WARRANTY WHICH HAS NOW EXPIRED SINCE I AM AT 38K. *TR
