FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON AT 1/4 TANK OF GAS. CODE IS 0463 FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NISSANS AND HAVE HAD PREVIOUS RECALLS FOR THIS ON OLDER MODELS. MINE IS 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER AND I UNDERSTAND IT COSTS BETWEEN $400 TO $600 TO FIX. HAVE NOT HAD THE MONEY TO FIX IT YET. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WAS DRIVING IN TENNESSEE ON HIGHWAY 81.I FOUND I WAS HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THE SPEED UP GOING TO THE TOP OF THE HILLS, THE NEXT DAY WE FOUND THE TRANSMISSION WAS A LITTLE LOW AND GOT TRANSMISSION FLUID. NOW WE ARE HAVING OTHER PROBLEMS. WE BROUGHT IT TO NISSAN TO HAVE IT TESTED, AND THEY GIVE US WELL WE'LL CHANGE THE FLUID AND MAY BE THAT WILL HELP. OR IT COULD BE THIS OR THAT OR SOMETHING ELSE. I'M AFRAID THEY ARE GOING TO NICKEL AND DIME ME TO DEATH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL LEVEL GAUGE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER [XXX] GIVES SPORADIC READINGS: READS EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. AFTER SEVERAL MILES GIVES APPARENTLY ACCURATE READING UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK WHEN IT SUDDENLY READS EMPTY. THIS USUALLY (BUT NOT ALWAYS) OCCURS. NISSAN CLAIMS THIS VIN IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL OF THIS MODEL FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AND INSISTS THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO FIX IT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS A KNOWN FUEL GAUGE ISSUE. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2006+ FRONTIERS THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT PART. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ATTACHED TO THE GAS TANK IS KNOWN TO GO BAD, AND IS COVERED BY NISSAN UNDER THE RECALL, WHICH DOESN'T INCLUDE THE PROBLEMATIC 2005 MODELS OUT THERE. SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000. THE RESULT IS THAT THE GAS GAUGE AND COMPUTER ESTIMATES OF "DISTANCE UNTIL EMPTY" ARE GROSSLY ERRONEOUS AND REQUIRE CONSTANT MONITORING OF THE RANGE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A HUGE INCONVENIENCE REQUIRING ME TO FILL UP WAY BEFORE NECESSARY TO AVOID HAVE THE TRUCK RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. THIS IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM THAN NISSAN IS ACKNOWLEDGING. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS FUEL SYSTEM DESIGN. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 30K MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH, I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AFTER NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, POSING A GREAT DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IN THE UNIT IS FAULTY AND WILL CORRODE OVER TIME. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YRS AND WITH AROUND 39K-49K. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER!! WHY WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM LIES IN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. COST OF REPAIR RANGES FROM $300-600." *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE GAS GAUGE GIVES A FALSE READING AND IS UNRELIABLE. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY NISSAN AS A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURS WITH THE NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THE FRONTIER IS A PATHFINDER WITH A TRUCK BODY. YET NISSAN HAS ONLY RECALLED THE PATHFINDERS. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER THE FRONTIERS AS WELL. *TR
