2006 NISSAN FRONTIER'S FUEL GAUGE IS SPORADIC. IT WILL READ 1/4 TANK AND THEN SUDDENLY DROP TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER FILLING, IT MAY TAKE DAYS FOR THE GAUGE TO READ FULL. SHORTLY AFTER THE PROBLEM STARTED THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. COMPUTER ERROR SAYS ERROR PO463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT PROBABLE CAUSE: THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V075000: "THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH". NISSAN DEALER SERVICE TECH. TOLD ME THIS A BIG ISSUE WITH MANY MORE VEHICLES THAN THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMP. #10V075000) COVERS. A DEFECTIVE GAUGE AND THEIR VEHICLE NOT COVERED BY THE CURRENT RECALL(S). I DON'T KNOW THE STATISTICS ON WHAT IT TAKES TO TRIGGER AN EXPANDED RECALL BUT I HOPE NHTSA LOOKS INTO IT. I'VE CHECKED WITH OTHER ONLINE FORUMS FOR NISSANS & THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NC REQUIRES THAT WE GET OUR VEHICLES INSPECTED EVERY YEAR. MY TRUCK WILL NOT PASS WITH THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON...PLEASE HELP! *TR

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND A HUGE INCONVENIENCE REQUIRING ME TO FILL UP WAY BEFORE NECESSARY TO AVOID HAVE THE TRUCK RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT MY VIN DIDN'T QUALIFY. THIS IS A MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM THAN NISSAN IS ACKNOWLEDGING. THEY NEED TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS FUEL SYSTEM DESIGN. *TR

FUEL LEVEL GAUGE NOT INDICATING PROPER LEVEL. ESPECIALLY OCCURS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILL UP. SOMETIMES WITHIN A DAY OR SO THE GAUGE WILL MOVE TO CORRECT LEVEL AND WORK FINE UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP. OTHER TIMES GAUGE WILL SHOW EMPTY EVEN WITH PLENTY OF FUEL IN TANK. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO SPORADIC. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR. MILEAGE WHEN FIRST OCCURRED 45000. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL WHEN IT WAS EMPTY AND EMPTY WHEN IT WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO REPLACED FOR $500. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLEDL AND CONFIRMED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER LE 4X4 WITH MAY 2006 BUILD DATE. FUEL GAUGE STOPPED REGISTERING UPON FILL UP. GAUGE NEEDLE DROPS TO EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT WITHIN 2 MILES OF FILL UP, FOLLOWED BY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT. AFTER 3-5 DAYS OF DRIVING, GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY STARTS READING ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL AND SES LIGHT GOES OFF. CONSEQUENT WEEKLY FILL UPS HAVE EXACT SAME RESULTS. NISSAN DEALER SAYS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR FUEL SENDING UNITS DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN TANK EXACTLY ON ANY GIVEN DAY. I USE MILES DRIVEN AS GAUGE, AND RESET UPON FILL UP WEEKLY FOR A ROUGH ESTIMATE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED DUE TO FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT CONTROLS THE VEHICLE FUEL GAUGE AND PROVIDES INFORMATION TO RUN ON BOARD EMISSIONS DIAGNOSTICS. DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. CONSUMERS ARE UNABLE TO REGISTER A VEHICLE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS A SMOG TEST. SAFETY BECOMES AN ISSUE DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE NOT ACCURATELY PROVIDING THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE TANK. A RECALL HAS ALREADY ISSUED FOR A SIMILAR FUEL ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE - I BELIEVE THE FIX REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL PUMP AND INCLUDES THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. *TR

AS MY VEHICLE USES GAS THE GAUGE STICKS AT ABOUT 5/16 TO 3/8 FULL. THIS ACTION CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO THEN DO UNUSUAL THINGS SUCH AS FALL TO EMPTY AND THROW A FAULT CODE TO THE OBD II. OR THE FUEL LEVEL ON THE GAUGE WILL STAY AT APPROX. 5/16 TO 3/8 FULL FOR A PROLONGED TIME WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN BUT THEY SAY THE TRUCKS BUILD DATE FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLES WHICH HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IT SURE SEEMS TO ME THAT I TOO HAVE A GAS TANK WITH THE DEFORMITY WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL FLOAT TO "CATCH' OR "STICK'. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENDING UNIT QUITS WORKING AFTER APPROX 4 YEARS CAUSING INCORRECT FUEL GAUGE READING AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. DANGEROUS AS INCORRECT GAUGE READING COULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL. *TR

STEERING WHEEL FEEL LOOSE, LIKE IT IS GOING TO FALL OFF AND SOMETIMES STICKS OR HAS A RATCHET FEEL. *TR

FILLED MY 2006 FRONTIER WITH GAS ONE DAY AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE" CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY THE GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I REFILLED AGAIN AND GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER PROPERLY. I THEN DROVE AROUND FOR AN HOUR AND IT EVENTUALLY REGISTERED FULL AGAIN. TOOK TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND THEY DID A SCAN AND IT REVEALED IT HAD A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDER.THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR TO RECALL BEING ANNOUNCED. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND ONE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THEY WOULD REIMBURSE MY COST, ONCE THE ACTUAL RECALL LETTERS WERE SENT OUT. SINCE THEN THE DEALER SAYS THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL SENDER DOES NOT APPLY TO MY TRUCKAND WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME. I CALLED THE 1-800 NISSAN NUMBER AND THEY SAY MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED . HOWEVER THE SERVICE BULLETIN SAY "2005-2007 FRONTIER - ALL". *TR

I FILLED UP MY TRUCK AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY. IT MAY TELL ME I HAVE MORE OR LESS GAS THAN I ACTUALLY DO. I CAN TURN THE KEY OFF AND RECRANK THE ENGINE AND HAVE A DIFFERENT READING. RECENTLY IT CAUSED MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON. ALSO IF I AM DRIVING A LONG DISTANT THE GAUGE SOMETIMES WILL GO FROM EMPTY AND START GOING TO FULL AS I DRIVE. *TR

REFER TO ODI CONFIRMATION NUMBER 103268. THE SUMMARY WAS COMPLETELY ENTERED IN A FALSE MANNER. MY ACTUAL COMPLAINT WAS THAT THERE WERE NO CAMPER ADJUSTMENT DEVICES INSTALLED ON THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE, NOT THAT THEY HAD BECOME DEFECTIVE. THEY WERE NEVER THERE!!! I DO NOT APPRECIATE BEING BLOWN OFF NOR SHOULD I BE MIS-QUOTED, NO THAT IS NOT HARSH ENOUGH, MY COMPLAINT WAS COMPLETELY FABRICATED. I TRIED TO CONTACT THE ODI OFFICE USING THE PHONE NUMBER PROVIDED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE "CONTACT ODI (888) 327-4236 TTY: (800) 424-9153" BUT THIS NUMBER TOLD THEY COULD CONTACT THE ODI OFFICE OR GIVE ME A PHONE NUMBER, SO HERE I SIT TYPING DUE TO YOUR ORIGINAL [XXX] IN ENTERING THIS COMPLAINT.

MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. IT WOBBLES ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 INCH IN EACH DIRECTION. THE CAR STILL STEERS OK BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT IT WILL FAIL WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT AND THEY SAY IT WILL COST $400 TO CHECK AND REPLACE IT. I SEE THIS REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS AS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
