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

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER LE WITH 60,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING IT HOME I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT GOING ALL THE WAY UP EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK COMPLETELY. THEN THE GAUGE JUST DROPPED ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY AND THE EMPTY LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT AND THE DTE (DISTANCE TO EMPTY) LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH. I HAVE NOT YET HAD THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED BUT WILL WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK. *TR

1998 NISSAN FRONTIER- FUEL PUMP FAILED-TOWED TO DEALER IN MID WINTER. DEALER CLAIMS THE TANK AND SENDING UNIT MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST/CORROSION FOR OVER $1100.00. OK'D REPAIR BUT CANNOT BE DONE BECAUSE NO FUEL TANKS AVAILABLE. DEALER HAS TRUCK, TO TOW IT TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP WOULD BE AN ADDED EXPENSE WITH NO GUARANTEE OF REPAIR. DEALER WILL ONLY USE NEW NISSAN TANK THAT THEY CAN'T GET. I HAVE NO TRUCK. *TR

COMMON PROBLEM. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. AFTER PLENTY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT PLENTY FRONTIER AND XTERRA OWNERS ARE HAVE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNITS FAILING. STEALERSHIP WANT $400-$500 TO FIX THIS. I DO NOT HAVE MONEY FOR THIS AND DON'T WANT TO RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THEY RECALLED IT IS AUSTRAILA ON THE NISSAN NAVARA (SAME AS A FRONTIER), BUT I GUESS IT WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR NISSAN TO MAN UP, AND WE WILL HAVE TO PAY. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THE TRUCK FAILED AT ABOUT 38K MILES. THE GAGE IS SLOW TO RESPOND TO A FILL-UP 30-60 MINUTES TO REGISTER FULL. IT FUNCTIONS NORMALLY UNTIL AROUND HALF A TANK, THEN THE NEEDLE DROPS TO E AND THE EMPTY TANK LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER REFUELING THE TRUCK SEVERAL TIMES IT WAS STILL HALF FULL OF FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE THE START OF THE PROBLEM. ONLINE BOARDS HAVE INDICATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS TRUCK. A CODE SCANNER AT A PARTS STORE ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. I WILL PROBABLY REPLACE THE PART MYSELF. *TR
