FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FILLED UP GAS TANK & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AUTOZONE DID A DIAGNOSTIC & FOUND PO463. MY WIFE HAS NOTICED ERRATIC FUEL-GAUGE OPERATION FOR SOME TIME, BUT ONLY MENTIONED IT SINCE THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. SHE HAS ALSO NOTICED THE MILEAGE DISPLAYED HAS NOT AGREED WITH THE DISPLAYED FUEL-LEVEL, WHICH SHE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED THAT CHANGED HER GAS MILEAGE...WHICH HAD NOT. WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE MAINLY ON THE FREEWAY, AS MY WIFE IS A COLLEGE STUDENT IN THE RN PROGRAM. IN OUR LOCATION, SHE DRIVES ALONG WITH MAY SEMI-TRUCKS GOING TO/FROM CANADA. HAVING OUR VEHICLE RUN OUT OF GAS ON THIS FREEWAY, WITH THE AMOUNT OF TRUCKS PER HR COULD BE DEVASTATING, IF ATTEMPTING TO GET TO A SHOULDER SAFELY. WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT WE MUST RELY ON FAULTY FACTORY INSTRUMENTATION. OTHER YEARS HAVE THIS SAME DEFECT & HAVE BEEN RECALLED. ARE WE WAITING FOR THE DEATH TOLL TO INCREASE BEFORE ACTING ON SOMETHING THAT IS SUCH AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN FAIL & CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS? THIS IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES RECALL & REPAIR. *TR

I AM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY FUEL SENSOR UNIT IN MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA AT 38,500 MILES. I FILLED AT THE GAS STATION, GETTING READY TO LEAVE ON VACATION AND THEN IT WENT DOWN TO EMPTY. THE SES LIGHT CAME ON, SO DECIDED TO CANCEL MY VACATION! A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE NEEDLE WENT BACK TO FULL. AFTER FILLING GAS 4 TIMES, MY SES LIGHT HAS GONE OFF AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING, BUT DO NOT LET IT GO BELOW HALF A TANK TO BE SURE. AND, OF COURSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE 2006 & 2008 MODELS THAT USE THE SAME EXACT SENSOR UNIT....HOW CONVENIENT FOR NISSAN! *TR

2006 NISSAN XTERRA FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY ITS SHOWS THERE IS MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THEN WHAT THERE ACTUALLY IS. IT OCCURS ON EVERY FUEL FILL UP.
