FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
06 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED, 460,000 MILES. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 FULL WHEN I JUST PUT IN A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT SHOULD SHOW A FULL TANK OF GAS, BUT IT DOESN'T IT JUST SHOWS A 1/4 TANK FULL. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. I'M SURELY NOT THE ONLY PERSON TOO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS ACTING VERY ERRATIC. I TOP OFF THE TANK AND THE NEEDLE READS BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL MOST OF THE TIME. AFTER 50-70 MILES THE GAUGE READS 1/2 TANK. I BOUGHT THIS 2007 USED WITH 3000 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
I OWN A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHEN I HIT 50,000 AROUND OCTOBER 2009 THE DTE, DISTANCE TILL EMPTY READ"---". THE SERVICE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WHENEVER I FILL UP WITH FUEL IT TAKES DAYS FOR THE GAS GAUGE TO READ. IT STAYS ON EMPTY MOST OF THE TIME AND THE EMPTY LIGHT IS ON ALL OF THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON LINE FOR FIXES BUT EVERYTHING POINTS TO FAULTY SENDER UNIT. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS IN THIS ECONOMIC TIME. I THINK COMPANIES THAT MAKE FAULTY PARTS BY THE BILLIONS SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM OR STOP DOING BUSINESS. *TR

06 FRONTIER FUEL SENDING UNIT GONE HAYWIRE. GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE COMPLAINTS W/SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO WORRIED ABOUT THE PROBLEM, SEEING THERE IS NO RECALL. SURE HOPE ME OR MY FAMILY IS NOT STUCK IN A VULNERABLE SITUATION BECAUSE OF IT. I'M HEARING THAT ITS A SHORT IN THE WIRING OF THE UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK THAT DOESN'T SOUND TO GOOD TO ME. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER PICK UP TRUCK THAT I BOUGHT NEW.IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 57K MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE FUEL SENDING GAUGE BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING. AFTER A FUEL FILL UP IT WOULD REGISTER FULL HOWEVER AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD DROP TO THE EMPTY POSITION AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON ( IT IS STILL ON NOW). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST $650 TO REPAIR. SINCE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT, I DIDN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED. I GOOGLED SOME INFORMATION REGARDING THE NISSAN FUEL SENDING UNIT TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE THE REPAIR MYSELF AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF NISSAN PRODUCTS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE FRUSTRATED THAT THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED THIS AS A PROBLEM. I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO USES THIS TRUCK AT JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY. I'VE TOLD HER TO CHECK THE TRIPOMETER ETC BUT I'M AFRAID THAT SHE WILL FORGET AND AT SOME POINT RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND ME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER, MY GAS GAUGE AND VEHICLE COMPUTER THAT READS THE GAS LEVEL IS NOT WORKING. IT LEFT MY NEW BORN BABY BOY AND WIFE ON THE SIDE OF I-95 IN PORT ORANGE FLORIDA BECAUSE IT SHOWED GAS IN THE TANK WHEN THERE WAS NONE. UPON DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS IN MANY NISSAN MODEL SPREAD OUT AROUND THE YEAR OF OUR TRUCK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALER THOUGH A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM BUT ONE THAT REACHES MANY NISSAN OWNERS. *TR THANK YOU

NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IF OVER 30K MILES. PROBLEM TYPICALLY OCCURS AFTER 2-3 YEARS OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS CORROSION IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE FUEL TANK DEVELOPED A CRACK IN IT WHICH CORRODED THE TERMINAL STRIP. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE FUEL SYSTEM TO STOP WORKING AND THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED AND THAT THE CONTACT HAS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT IS CONCERNED THAT THE PARTS USED TO REPAIR THE RECALL WERE DEFECTIVE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000. UPDATED 01/12/10 *BF THE FUEL SENDER UNIT WAS REPLACED. UPDATED 01/15/10.*JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAD JUST PICKED MY VEHICLE UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HAVING HAD THEM PERFORM SEVERAL REPAIRS. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 OR 15 MILES, AND WITH APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WOULD COST $463. I PERFORMED RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER CAR OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE UNIT WILL CORRODE AFTER JUST SEVERAL YEARS OF USE. I ALSO FOUND THAT A SIMILAR PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED. HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS STILL BEING PUT ON THE CUSTOMER. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM THAT INCLUDES AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CAR IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL AND THE INSTALLATION OF A BETTER DESIGNED UNIT. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
2005 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH M226 (DANA 44, V6 ENGINE) REAR END. THE AXLE SEALS ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES ARE LEAKING AND OIL IS GETTING ON THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING THEM TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD NISSAN FIX THIS 2 TIMES (5/09 AND 8/09) AND IT STARTED LEAKING AGAIN 12/09. THAT MAKES THIS 3 TIMES IN UNDER A YEAR. THIS AXLE IS THE SAME AS USED IN NISSAN TITANS WHICH ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE SEALS WERE REPLACED AND EACH TIME IT STARTED LEAKING WITHIN A MONTH OF THE REPAIR, TAKING A FEW MONTHS TO BECOME DANGEROUS AND GET ON THE BRAKE ROTORS. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL GAUGE & CHECK SERVICE LIGHT. THE CHECK SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE READING POORLY+ERRATICALLY. WENT ON WEB AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FROM PREVIOUS YEARS AND MODELS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB SO THERE MUST BE THOUSANDS WHO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. THE REPAIR COST IS $600 FROM THE DEALER, A CASH COW. MY TRUCK HAS ONLY 30,000 MILES AND BEEN BABIED. I FEEL THIS IS A PLANNED DESIGN DEFECT AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ORDERED. SAMUEL BAYLUS*TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER LE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I FILL UP MY TRUCK THE FUEL GAUGE FALLS BELOW EMPTY AND THE LIGHT GOES ON . AT TIMES IT SAYS THAT I HAVE MORE GAS THAN I REALLY DO. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT NISSAN IS SELLING ALL THEIR TRUCKS AND SUV'S WITH FAULTY SYSTEMS. I REPLACED THE FUEL CAP IN HOPES THAT WOULD HELP. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALWAYS ON, AND IMPROPER FUEL GAUGE READING POINT TO A BAD FUEL SENSOR UNIT. AS THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS ALL OVER NISSAN FORUMS ON THE INTERNET, IT'S OBVIOUSLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND NEEDS A RECALL. *TR

THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR WILL NOT REGISTER A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT PROPERLY AND IS CAUSING THE AIRBAG DISABLED LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD, INDICATING THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED TWICE WITH THE DEALER, AND ONCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER WHO IS REFUSING TO ESCALATE THE ISSUE. *TR
