FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
NISSAN FRONTIER 2005 47,000 MILES THROWING ERROR CODE P0463 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION). AS A RESULT, THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AND FOR FILL-UPS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I AM AN OWNER OF 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREWCAB SE. SINCE DAY ONE AT RANDOM WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK IT PUKES GAS OUT ONTO SIDE OF TRUCK, GROUND AND ME. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK WERE JERKS, SAID IT WAS THE PUMP DESIGN AT THE STATION. JUST DISMISSED ME, "TRY ANOTHER STATION." I HAVE SINCE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS A HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL. WHEN THE TANK IS FULLY FILLED, THE GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT REMAINS ON. OTHER TIMES THE GAUGE READS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS, MOSTLY HALF FULL OR ONE QUARTER TANK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT READ CORRECTLY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON! EX. IF MY LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON AND I GO FILL UP THE TRUCK, IT STILL READS THAT I NEED GAS AND THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM! THE GAUGE NEVER READS THE GAS LEVEL CORRECTLY! I HAVE ALREADY RAN OUT OF GAS ONCE DUE TO THE FAULTY GAUGE, SO I NOW HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT VIA MILEAGE! THE GAUGE WAS WORKING JUST FINE, AND ONE DAY THIS JUST HAPPENED! I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH IT FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIER'S! NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALWAYS READS THAT THE OIL PRESSURE IS HIGH, WHEN THAT IS NOT THE CASE! SO I NOW WOULDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS HIGH OR NOT, WHICH IF IT WAS IT COULD CAUSE MY ENGINE TO BLOW OUT AND CAUSE A CRASH! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FUELING TO A FULL TANK, I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT BUDGE OFF THE 1/4 MARK FOR 20+ MILES. EVER-SO SLOWLY, THE GAUGE FINALLY READ "F" BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED THE ERROR CODE PO463 AND A BIT OF RESEARCH/ELBOW GREASE, THE PROBLEM CAME DOWN TO THE FUEL SENSOR UNIT. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WITH QUITE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE INTERNET. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT AFTER EVERY FUELING. WORSE, THE LEVELS ARE INACCURATE AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP BY RUNNING TO EMPTY. THE ONLY SAFE WAY I CAN OPERATE MY VEHICLE IS BY METICULOUSLY EYEING THE ODOMETER. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES. I CAN ONLY HOPE THE WARRANTY COVERS THIS FAULTY PART, BECAUSE MY RESEARCH INDICATES A COST OF $300-$600 FOR REPAIRS. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2006 NISSAN FRONTIER DOOR LATCHES BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL WHEN TEMPERATURE DROPS TO FREEZING. DOOR LATCH AND HANDLE LOCKS UP MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE. HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES LAST WINTER AND HAS CONTINUED AGAIN EVERY TIME IT FREEZES. HAVE TO ENTER AND EXIT THROUGH PASSENGER SIDE DOOR MAKING SITUATION A SAFETY RISK. NISSAN WILL NOT COVER IT OUT OF WARRANTY AND IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE TOPIC, HAS NOT SUCCESSFULLY FIXED THE PROBLEM IN OTHER CONSUMERS VEHICLES STILL UNDER WARRANTY. SEEMS TO BE APROBLEM IN BOTH FRONTIER AND TITAN MODELS.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS ONE DAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD THE CODE READ WHICH SAID FUEL SENSOR. THE GAUGE SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T WHICH CAUSED US TO RUN OUT OF GAS ONE DAY SHORTLY AFTER THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ON A QUIET RURAL ROAD AT THE TIME, IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WELL KNOWN TO NISSAN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO I HAVE HAD 3 FUEL "SENDING UNITS" REPLACED AND HAVE ONLY 21000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THIS IS DUE TO VERY ERRATIC AND SOMEWHAT UNSAFE DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT IE; GAS GAUGE/SENDING UNIT. I RECENTLY HAD IT REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME AND IT IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A UNIVERSAL PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE/SENDING UNIT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL AND THIS PROBLEM FIXED ONCE AND FOR ALL. THANKS *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON MY 05 NISSAN FRONTIER CAME ONE LAST WEEK. AFTER CHECKING THE ERROR CODES P0463, IT SEEMS THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENOR IS MALFUNCTIONING. SHORTLY AFTER DISCOVERING THE PROBLEM I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO ASK ABOUT REPAIR AND COST. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED $600 FOR THE REPAIR AND THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER, AND THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIX IT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. TWO DAYS AFTER I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE WHEN MY TRUCK STOPPED FUNCTIONING. IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC I HAD TO COAST MY VEHICLE TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR NISSAN PRODUCTS. I READ THE RECALL AND SERVICE POSTING. YOU MUST INCLUDE 2007 VEHICLES SUCH AS MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER PICK UP TRUCK 4WD. THIS SAME CONDITION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON MY TRUCK SINCE MID/LATE 2008 AND DRIVING ME CRAZY. THE LIGHT NOW COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING...FIRST BLINKING AND THEN STEADY. IT GOES OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES. PROBLEM IS, THIS HAPPENS NOW EVERY DAY. PLEASE INCLUDE 2007 VEHICLES SUCH AS MINE. THANKS, JIM TRIEBWASSER *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
PURCHASED A USED 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 9/18/09 FROM FRESNO ACURA. APPROX 2 WEEKS LATER I DROP IT BACK OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP, DUE TO THE HEATER NOT WORKING & A SHUDDER IN THE TRANSMISSION. FINDINGS RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER RUPTURED AND FLUID LEAKED INTO TRANSMISSION & VICE VERSA, I FOUND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS GOING INTO RADIATOR. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT HONOR TRANSMISSION WARRANTY DUE TO THE RADIATOR NOT BEING UNDER WARRANTY AND TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION WAS EFFECTED BY RADIATOR . THIS IS SO WRONG, UNJUST AND CORRUPT. POSSIBLE DAMAGE RANGES FROM $3000-$6000. A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY THIS FOR THIS KIND OF DAMAGE THAT WAS AFFECTED BY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT SHOULD OF BEEN RECALLED OR CORRECTED. A PERSON PAYS APPROX $23,000 FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DISH OUT ANOTHER 3 -4 THOUSAND DOLLARS ON A 3 YR OLD VEHICLE . THIS IS BAD BUSINESS AND WILL GIVE THE NISSAN A VERY BAD REPUTATION. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 55,000 MILES DEVELOPED "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WHEN FILLED UP WITH GASOLINE. CODE SHOWN WHEN READ WAS "FUEL SENDING UNIT HIGH OUTPUT". AFTER RESEARCH WITH SEVERAL NISSAN DEALERS, AN APPROXIMATE REPAIR COST OF $600 WAS GIVEN, INCLUDING A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR READING THE CODES. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROPERLY OPERATING FUEL GAUGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES SINCE, DUE TO HIGH COST OF REPAIR NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS A RISK SINCE THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY ONCE TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER COMPONENTS UPON VEHICLE CEASING TO OPERATE ONCE OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A RECURRING DEFECT IN SIMILAR AND PAST MODEL YEARS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS CHOOSING TO IGNORE ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I PURCHASED NISSAN 2003 FRONTIER NEW IN 2003. I RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE 2 PARTS -FUEL SENDER AND GAS TANK THAT WERE DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY. THEY BOTH SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN A RECALL -AFTER RESEARCHING FOUND THESE 2 PARTS ARE A COMMON PROBLEM AND A CAUSE FOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO DEFECT AND LACK OF PROPER COATINGS AND SEALANTS FROM THE FACTORY. I HAVE SOUGHT RESOLUTION FROM NISSAN USA AND WAS DENIED WITHOUT REVIEWU=ING ANY SUPPORTING INFO I HAD - THEY REFUSED ANY PICTURES, DOCUMENTATION OR TESTIMONY FROM DEALER OR MECHANIC, STATING THE PARTS WERE "OUT OF WARRANTY" THIS IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE IT IS A DEFECTIVE PARTS ISSUE. I CONSULTED THE ATTY GENERAL OFFICE AND AFTER THEY CONTACTED NISSAN GOT THE SAME RESULT AS I DID. THE GAS TANK WAS LEAKING VAPORS INTO THE ENGINE WHICH COULD HAVE EVENTUALLY POSED A SAFETY ISSUE - I AM SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COST AND DIAGNOSTIC OF THIS PROBLEM AND PARTS AND NISSAN SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH UNAWARE I HAD PURCHASED IT FROM THE FACTORY WITH DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE PARTS IN IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER XE, AUTOMATIC. I NOTICED MY TIRES WERE STARTING TO WEAR ON THE INSIDE. AT 21,000 MILES I DID NOT WANT TO BE REPLACING MY TIRES TOO SOON. TOOK TO SEARS FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION. THE TOE IN WAS WAY OUT AND SO WAS THE CAMBER. THE TOE IN WAS ADJUSTED, BUT THE CAMBER COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. THE REASON: NO CAMBER ADJUSTMENT WAS AVAILABLE. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT DOES NOT COME WITH IT, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE CAMBER KIT. THIS COST ME $82.00. THEREFORE I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO SEARS TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. LUCKILY I KNOW THE MANAGER AND TECHNICIAN. THEY WILL DO THE REALIGNED NO CHARGE, BUT THE CAMBER KIT INSTALLATION WILL COST ME $120.00.... WHY WOULD THE MANUFACTURER NOT ENSURE THAT THIS ADJUSTMENT WAS INSTALLED ON ALL VEHICLES. IT SOUNDS LIKE A MONEY MAKER TO ME. *TR
