FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
AFTER GAS TANK WENT DOWN TO 1/4 TANK, GOT A FILL UP AT A LOCAL GAS STATION. PULLED OFF AND NOTICE THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS NOT READING THAT IT WAS FULL. AFTER RIDING A MILE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP THINKING I JUST NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE; THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEN WAS CHARGED $100 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE TEST CONFIRMED: REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY RECOMMENDED AFTER THE SENDING UNIT GOES BAD. CAUSING NO READING ON GAS GAUGE EVEN AFTER GAS TANK IS FILLED IN TERMS MAKING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAIN ON CONSISTENTLY. I BROUGHT THIS TRUCK USED STILL UNDER WARRANTY. CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THE PART ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY BUT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE MODELS FROM 2004-2007.... *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A NISSAN FRONTIER 2007, ITS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND ITS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WHICH COSTS 300-600 DOLLARS TO REPLACE, BUT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, I WENT TO: HTTP://X.NISSANHELP.COM/FORUMS/XTERRA/4151-FUEL-GAUGE-PROBLEM-SERVICE-ENGINE-SOON-LIGHT.HTML AND IT SHOWS THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A RECALL BECAUSE ALOT OF OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT COULD ALSO PROVE TO BE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND THE VEHICLE MIGHT RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE MOVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. *TR

"I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. 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 41K 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
AT ABOUT 41,000 MILES, JUST OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER I FILLED GAS TANK UP. IT WILL OCCASIONALLY WORK NOW BUT NOT ALL THE WAY. NOW I CAN NOT TRUST THE FUEL GAUGE. NISSAN SHOP EMPLOYEES SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT IS A FUEL GAUGE SENSOR AND WILL COST OVER 500 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FAMILY AND RAN OUT GAS AT NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN BEFORE I GOT HELP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DEFECT ON LEVEL SENSOR OF THE FUEL TANK, CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND THE FUEL METER TO MALFUNCTION. THIS DEFECT COULD LEAD TO RUN OUT OF GAS AT ANY TIME PUTTING ANY PASSENGER IN DANGER WHILE IN THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATH FINDER, FRONTIERS AND MANY OTHERS ESPECIALLY 2005 TO 2007 MODELS. NISSAN DEALERS ARE CHARGING ABOUT 600.00 DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY DO DEFECTIVE AND CONTINUE TO DO DEFECTIVELY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE: AT A VERY BUSY CALIFORNIA INTERSECTION, MY VEHICLE SIMPLY QUIT RUNNING, AT WHICH POINT I WAS ABLE TO RE START SAID VEHICLE AND "LIMP" IT TO A SAFE AREA, LUCKILY I MIGHT ADD. I HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A SERVICE FACILITY WHERE THE MECHANIC FOUND A LOSE BATTERY CONNECTION IN WHICH HE THOUGHT HE SOLVED THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THE NEXT DAY TRAVELING DOWN HWY 50 IN THE SIERRA MOUNTAINS AT 65 MPH THE VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE AN EXIT NEARBY THAT I SAFELY COASTED THE DEAD VEHICLE INTO. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A DIFFERENT MECHANIC. HE FOUND A FAULTY IPDM ( INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ). UPON HIS RESEARCH AND MINE, THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN WHICH NISSAN IS NOT RESPONDING TO. IT SHOULD BE SAFETY ISSUE AND BE RECALLED BY NISSAN AND THE REPAIR SHOULD BE PERFORMED AT NO CHARGE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. IF YOU WERE TO GOOGLE : "IPDM PROBLEM NISSAN " YOU WILL FIND FURTHER DATA. PLEASE REVIEW, AND THANKS FOR LISTENING....*TR

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 NOR MY DIGITAL FUEL SENSOR ON THE DASHBOARD. 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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY IS WARPED WHERE THE SILVER DIVIDER IS BETWEEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM ALSO THE SIDE AMBER DEFLECTOR INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY IS BROKEN. THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP BOTH THE REFLECTORS INSIDE ARE OUT OF PLACE, THE LARGER ONE HAS SLID DOWN WHERE THE MAIN HEADLIGHT IS. YOU CANNOT GET INSIDE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY TO REPAIR THESE. THE ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THEM. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID SINCE I HAVE OVER 36,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS A 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER. I HAVE NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. I HAVE NEVER REPLACED THE BULBS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 41000 MILES ON IT. AT 39000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I FILL UP WITH GASOLINE, THE FUEL GAUGE REMAINS AT EMPTY WITH THE EMPTY GAS TANK LIGHT ON. OCCASIONALLY THE GAUGE KICKS UP BUT DIES DOWN AGAIN. ON 9/9/09 I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS FUEL GAUGE SENSOR NEEDS REPLACEMENT. THEY WANTED OVER $500 FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS AND SO I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY PROMISED TO LOOK INTO A "GOODWILL" REPAIR OF THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THEY CALLED ME TODAY TO SAY THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM, I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN THE TANK AND I JUST KEEP FILLING IT UP EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS. I AM AFRAID THE GASOLINE WILL RAN OUT WHEN ON THE ROADSIDE AND PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT OR BURGLARY OR WORSE. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK (NISSAN FRONTIER) LAST NIGHT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF. THEN WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE COST TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG COMPONENT AND THEY WANTED OVER 400 DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART AND IT IS OKAY TO DRIVE THE TRUCK THE WAY IT IS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANY LONGER IN THIS TRUCK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER GETTING GAS I STARTED MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER AND AS I ENTERED BACK ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY STALLED. THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT AND THE 4WD WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER ROLLING ABOUT 50 FT IT STARTED RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. I VISITED MY NISSAN DEALER ON 9/10/09 AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THAT AFTERNOON AFTER GETTING GAS IT STALLED AFTER STARTING IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS ON. I COULD NOT RESTART IT. THIS TIME IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY FOUND THAT AN ENGINE ELECTRONIC MODULE HAD FAILED BUT WAS ON NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN IT WOULD BE REPLACED. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A LARGE PROBLEM IN 2006, 2007 AND SOME IN 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER AND TITAN TRUCKS. IF THIS ITEM IS IN NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER IT MUST BE A MAJOR PROBLEM AND A DANGEROUS ONE IF A VEHICLE'S ENGINE STALLS WHILE IN OPERATION ON ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. *TR

TRAILER HITCHES
I AM SUBMITTING THIS TO HAVE WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION ABOUT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB 4X4 I PURCHASED ON 08/04/2009 FROM KEN HARVEY'S DUBLIN NISSAN IN DUBLIN, CA. THE TRUCK IS ALSO A "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED NISSAN". I WAS TOWING MY BOAT DOWN I-880 ON 8/20/2009 AT 55MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BALL THAT HOLDS THE TONGUE OF THE BOAT TRAILER TO THE TOW HITCH SNAPPED CAUSING THE BOAT TO COME UP ON ONE WHEEL, SWERVE, AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. IT WAS BEING TOWED AT THE SPEED LIMIT UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. LUCKILY THIS INCIDENT DID NOT CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT OR MAJOR DAMAGE TO MY BOAT OR TRUCK. THIS STATEMENT IS TWO FOLD. 1) I HAVE GOTTEN ZERO RESPONSE FROM KEN HARVEY'S DUBLIN NISSAN. I CALLED WITHIN AND HOUR OF THE INCIDENT TO INQUIRE AS TO WHAT COULD BE DONE. THE TRUCK IS UNDER A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY UNTIL 9/4/2009. THE TOW HITCH AND BALL ARE BOTH NISSAN PRODUCTS AND INSTALLED BY A DEALERSHIP. THE SALES AND SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN UNHELPFUL AT BEST. THEY HAVE FAILED TO GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS OR RETURN ANY OF MY PHONE CALLS UNTIL 8/31/09 WHEN AFTER I LEFT THE TRUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD DO NOTHING TO REPLACE THE BROKEN PART OR REPAIR THE DAMAGE SINCE I DIDN'T GO RUNNING UP AND DOWN A FREEWAY TO FIND THE PART OF THE BOLT THAT BROKE. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE THE PART THAT BROKE OFF I COULDN'T PROVE THAT IT BROKE ALTHOUGH I STILL HAVE THE TOP PART OF THE BALL SINCE IT WAS STILL IN THE TONGUE OF THE BOAT. I WOULD LIKE NISSAN TO BE AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE - AS THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. *TR

MODEL YEAR 2007 MAKE NISSAN MODEL FRONTIER COMPONENT* FUEL GAGE SYSTEM THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS QUIT WORKING WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE FALSE READINGS. NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE UNIT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE I FOUND OUT WE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE UNITS. NISSAN DOES SEEM TO BE FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT, JUST COVERING IT UP. AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY DO NOT WANT TO TRY TO COVER IT, THEY WANT ME TO PAY $400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR WHICH I AM NOT GOING TO DO. BESIDES THE FACT THAT $100 FOR PARTS AND $300 FOR LABOR IS OUTRAGEOUS I AM NOT GOING TO REPLACE THIS PART JUST HAVE IT FAIL AGAIN. THIS PART SHOULD BE ON A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED 2, 3, OR 4 TIMES OR EVEN AT 10000 MILES. NOW MY PROBLEM IS THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE USING MORE GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FUEL SENSOR (PART NUMBER 25060-ZS00A) THAT IS ATTACHED GOES BAD AND GIVES INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THIS CAN CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE DRIVER IS NOT GIVEN A CORRECT READ OUT OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO NISSAN, THEY HAVE A "SERVICE BULLETIN" FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF OCTOBER 4TH, 2007, YET THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AS IT IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN LONG BEACH CA (1800 E SPRING ST, SIGNAL HILL, CA' - (562) 426-0333') AND THEY NEEDED $100+ TO BEGIN TO WORK ON MY TRUCK, AND ANOTHER $400+ TO FIX IT. SEEING AS HOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A DOLLAR OUT OF POCKET. I CALLED THE NISSAN CORPORATE NUMBER 1800NISSAN1. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF I COULD BE REIMBURSED UNTIL AFTER THE REPAIRS ARE MADE, AND MY MONEY ALREADY SPENT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I DO. ALSO, THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I VISITED WAS ALREADY WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS HE HAD SEEN IT NUMEROUS TIMES IN FRONTIERS HE HAS WORKED WITH. THIS SHOWS THAT NISSAN IS BEING NEGLIGENT WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR
