FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO HAVE THE DEALER DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALERS DIAGNOSTIC TEST DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE FUEL SENDING GAUGE. THE MANUFACTURER LATER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIRS SINCE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 10V074000 FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,261.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2007 NISSAN FRONTIER AUTOMATIC - THE TRUCK DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT AUTOMATICALLY WHEN SLOWING WHILE CLIMBING A SLIGHT HILL. THIS BEGAN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS NEW. THE TRUCK BEGINS TO JERK WHEN SLOWING JUST AS A MANUAL TRANS VEHICLE JERKS WHEN DRIVING TOO SLOW WHILE IN 4TH GEAR. TO FORCE THE TRANS TO DOWNSHIFT I WOULD PRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL A LITTLE MORE. THE DEALER SAID IT'S NORMAL BUT I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS EVENT IN ANY VEHICLE I'VE DRIVEN AND DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL TO ME. DEALER "REPROGRAMMED" TRANSMISSION- PROBLEM STILL EXISTS--BUT AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND RPMS. THE FACT THERE IS A REPAIR BULLETIN INDICATES NISSAN IS TRYING TO SKIRT AROUND THE PROBLEM BY NOT REPLACING TRANSMISSIONS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT HE HAD RUN OUT OF GASOLINE FUEL. THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE DISPLAYED ONE-FOURTH OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE ALTHOUGH THERE WAS NONE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO ADD MORE FUEL TO THE VEHICLE AND PROCEED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 49,000.

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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT IN MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER SHORTED OUT ON JUNE 22, 2010. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER ON JUNE 24, 2010. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE ALTHOUGH NISSAN HAS RECALLED THIS PART ON SOME VEHICLES, THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH RESULTED IN THE RECALL OF 2006 AND 2008 MODELS OF MY VEHICLE MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS OF NISSAN VEHICLES USING THE SAME PART FOR 2006 TO 2008, INCLUSIVE (ARMADA AND TITAN MODELS). I AM ASTOUNDED THAT SUCH A RECALL WOULD EXCLUDE VEHICLES WITH SAME PART AND SAME HISTORY OF PART FAILURE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY SURPRISING SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR OTHER MODELS OF MY YEAR, JUST NOT MY MODEL. IF THE PART IS FAILING AND IS A ENOUGH OF A SAFETY ISSUE TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS IN THE SAME YEAR AND FOR THE SAME MODEL IN OTHER YEARS, WHY WOULD IT NOT BE CONSIDERED ENOUGH OF A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY MODEL YEAR? DOES THE NHTSA PLAN TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION OF WHY NISSAN IS EXCLUDING MY MODEL IN THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL LEVEL SENDER UNIT? *TR

FUEL GAUGE IN 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER....ONE MINUTE I HAVE A FULL TANK NEXT ITS EMPTY. FILL THE TRUCK UP AND GAUGE SAYS I'M ONLY 1/4 FULL. I SEE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2006 AND 2008 FOR THE SAME REASON. DID THEY MAKE A CHANGE FOR 2007 THEN WENT BACK TO THE OLD WAY IN 2008. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THE PART ALONE IS $540 BUCKS AND RECALL DOES NOT COVER THE 2007 MODELS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO FAULTY GAS SENSOR IN TANK. KNOWN RECALL ON 2006 AND 2008 MODELS. SHOWS AN EMPTY TANK WHEN FULL AND EMPTY. UNLESS YOU ARE KEEPING UP WITH MILEAGE, YOU DON'T KNOW IF YOU WILL RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE FREEWAY. THIS CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE SAME ISSUE IN 2006 AND 2008 FRONTIER TRUCKS. FOR SOME REASON, THEY WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE 2007 MODELS. I TALKED WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT CANNOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. IT WILL COST ME OVER $500 TO REPLACE THIS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, CAN'T BE RESET UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. I CHECKED TO SEE IF THE FLOOR MAT HAD POSSIBLY CAUSED THIS BUT THE FLOOR MAT WAS UNDER THE GAS PEDDLE IN THE NORMAL POSITION. *TR
