THE FUEL GAUGE GETS STUCK ON 1/4 TANK OR SHOWS NO GAS EVEN WHEN FULL. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR MODEL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THEY SAY IT WAS MANUFACTURED IN THE CORRECT MONTH. THEY DID SAY THE PROBLEM WAS MORE VEHICLES THEN THE RECALL COVERED AND FOR THOSE VEHICLES THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS OR 72,000 MILES SO THE DEALERSHIP COULD FIX IT. SEEING AS MY VEHICLE HAS 90,000 MILES THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM UNDER THE RECALL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE ON 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 4DOOR PICKUP TRUCK. I CALLED SEVERAL NISSAN DEALERSHIPS AND ALL OF THEM TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WITHOUT EVER SEEING THE TRUCK! AFTER DOING SOME ONLINE RESEARCH IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS VEHICLE, I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS SOMEONE COULD RUN OUT OF FUEL ON A BUSY ROAD AND BE HIT FROM BEHIND AND OR WRECK TRYING TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY. (AS ALMOST HAPPENED TO ME). *TR

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING WITH MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. I CALLED NISSAN AND MENTIONED THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS AND THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD BE COVERED. AT THIS POINT THE ONLY WAY I CAN BE SURE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS GAS IN IT IS TO TRACK THE MILES EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL GAUGE IS USELESS AND IF I FILL IT UP IT IMMEDIATELY SAYS IT IS EMPTY, THE YELLOW LIGHT COMES ON AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. EVEN THE NISSAN RECALL NOTICE SAYS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT WHEN I CALLED THEM THEY SAID I "MIGHT" NOT BE COVERED..... 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AT APPROX 80,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. INITIALLY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE FUEL REACHED APPROX 1/4 TANK FULL. NOW, SES LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED AND ACTUAL GAS GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ADDRESSED MANY MANY TIMES ON VEHICLE FORUMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE AND THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AN ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR ROAD DUE TO A REAL GAS OUTAGE. THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY BULLETIN ABOUT THIS BUT NO RECALL YET TO MY UNDERSTANDING AND HAS OCCURRED THROUGHOUT MANY DIFFERENT NISSAN TRUCK MODELS FROM THE XTERRA, PATHFINDER, AND FRONTIER. *TR

MY FRONTIER IS EXPERIENCING A FUEL GAUGE AND/OR A FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. THE GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY WHEN THERE IS FUEL AND IN TURN WILL INDICATE THERE IS FUEL WHEN IT IS RUNNING OUT. I HAVE RUN OUT OF FUEL ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS ONE OF WHICH WAS QUITE DANGEROUS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY OFFERED TO PAY HALF OF THE COSTS (WHICH THEY SAY WERE UNKNOWN) TO REPAIR THIS. I BELIEVE THIS FAILURE FALLS UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 AND IS A SAFETY RECALL. THUS NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD FULLY ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE OF A KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM. THE ABOVE FAILURE DATE AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE.

ON APPROXIMATELY 10/9/2010, MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY (APPROX. 39K MILES ON THE VEHICLE). WITH ABOUT 1/4 TANK FULL, I FILLED THE TANK BUT THE GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER "FULL". AFTER A DAY OR TWO, THE GAUGE REGISTERED CORRECTLY. IT HAS BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THIS TIME AND NOW THERE IS A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT APPEARING. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDELY REPORTED BY NISSAN TRUCK OWNERS. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY AT APPROX 55,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. INITIALLY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE FUEL REACHED APPROX 1/4 TANK FULL. NOW, SES LIGHT STAYS ILLUMINATED AND ACTUAL GAS GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ADDRESSED MANY MANY TIMES ON VEHICLE FORUMS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE AND THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AN ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR ROAD DUE TO A REAL GAS OUTAGE. THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY BULLETIN ABOUT THIS BUT NO RECALL YET TO MY UNDERSTANDING AND HAS OCCURRED THROUGHOUT MANY DIFFERENT NISSAN TRUCK MODELS FROM THE XTERRA, PATHFINDER, AND FRONTIER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH WITH MY 8 YEAR OLD SON IN THE TRUCK WHEN I CAME IN TO A CURVE AND THE STEERING WOULD NOT TURN. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE GET OUT OF THE TRUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND GET THE STEERING BROKE LOOSE SO I COULD MOVE THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NOW THE STEERING COLUMN HAS A LOT OF MOVEMENT IN EVERY DIRECTION. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NISSAN DEALER SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE BEARING IN THE STEERING COLUMN WAS BAD AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT $980.00. THE SERVICE TECH SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS A SEVERAL TIMES. NISSAN SAID THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. THE TRUCK HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT NOW. IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY ISSUES LIKE THIS ON AUTOMOBILES WITH THIS LOW OF MILEAGE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE WHEN HE TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILIARY TANK. UPON RECEIVING HIS VEHICLE FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO DISPLAY IMPROPER READINGS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000. UPDATED 01/20/11 *BF

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKED AT 70K MILES. PINION SEAL ALSO LEAKS. OIL LEAKED ALL OVER BRAKES SYSTEM. WAS TOLD THAT IF NOT CAUGHT IN TIME THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FIRST AND LAST NISSAN I WILL BUY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE FUEL AND SERVICE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO SET THE TRIP ODOMETER TO MONITOR FUEL USAGE TO AVOID RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PASS THE EMISSIONS TEST BECAUSE OF THE DEFECTIVE FUEL GAUGE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER REAR BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO LEAK IN THE REAR AXLE SHAFT. THE SEALS IN THE REAR AXLE FAILED ALLOWING OIL TO COMPLETELY COAT THE REAR BRAKES ON BOTH SIDES RENDERING THEM ESSENTIALLY USELESS. REPAIR REQUIRED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF REAR AXLE SHAFT SINCE NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE JUST THE SEALS. HAD REPAIR COMPLETED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. NISSAN PAID A PORTION, BUT IT DIDN'T EVEN COVER HALF OF THE PARTS, LET ALONE THE LABOR. I FOOTED THE MAJORITY OF THE BILL. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SYSTEM. AFTER FUELING UP MY PICKUP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND GAS GAUGE SHOW EMPTY AND DTE COMPUTER GOES OUT. BEING A COMPONENT OF THE FUEL SYSTEM THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS. ANY MALFUNCTION IN A GAS TANK SHOULD WARRANT INVESTIGATION AND RESOLUTION. *TR

NISSAN 2006 FRONTIER GAS GAUGE STICKS AT 1/4 FULL, AND RESULTS IN A SUDDEN SLOWING WHEN VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY RUNS OUT OF FUEL. NISSAN SAYS ONLY SOME 2006 NISSAN FRONTIERS ARE COVERED UNDER THE CURRENT RECALL (10V-075) AND THAT THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN REFUSES TO FIX SAFETY DEFECT. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE SHOWING CODE P0463. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR IN NATURE TO CAMPAIGN ID: 10V075000. VEHICLE IS 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER SE CREW CAB. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. (2 TIMES IN THE LAST 700 MILES FOR ME). CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND FUEL LEVEL DROPS TO EMPTY. PERIODICALLY COMES UP PART WAY BUT TOTALLY UNRELIABLE. REQUIRES ESTIMATING FUEL LEVEL BY ODOMETER READING. COULD CAUSE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH WITH LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN ENGINE STALLS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH WHEN HE NOTICED THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE HAD DROPPED AND THE VEHICLE SERVICE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILLARY TANK). THE FAILURE PERSISTED.

THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE DEALER ALSO ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000. UPDATED 12/30/10 *BF UPDATED 01/11/11.*JB

THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE IN HALF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY LANE ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW TIMING CHAIN AND GUIDES BUT NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY WHEN THE GASOLINE TANK WAS FULL OR EMPTY.

RIGHT REAR AXLE OF NISSAN 2006 FRONTIER FAILURE. WAS CAUGHT BY OWNER WHILE ROTATING TIRES, EVERY 8000 MILES. COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS DANGER TO ALL OCCUPANTS AND OTHER MOTORISTS IF THERE WAS A TOTAL FAILURE OF READ AXLE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS DEFECTIVE AND I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE. THIS IS NOT AN INCONVENIENCE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I COULD RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR I MAY HAVE TO REPLACE IT MYSELF SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THE DEALER DO IT. THE REPAIR IS HAZARDOUS AS IT DEALS WITH REMOVAL OF THE FUEL TANK. 1/2 OF THE VIN NUMBERS FOR THIS YEAR FRONTIER HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT AND 1/2 HAVE NOT. THOSE NOT RECALLED ARE EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

RUN OUT OF FUEL TWO TIMES,REASON THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT ISN'T WORKING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK GAUGE DOES NOT INDICATE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE.

AS THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING A TURN, HE NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL FELT UNUSUALLY LOOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE STEERING WHEEL, COUPLINGS, BOLTS AND LOWER CONTROL ARM WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10E019000 (SUSPENSION: FRONT: CONTROL ARM: LOWER ARM). THE RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT FAILURE THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,280.

BRAKES FAILURE DUE TO REAR AXLE LEAK . MYSELF AND 10000'S OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR SEALS FAILURE DUE TO A FAULTY AIR VENT THAT CLOGS AND HOT AIR WILL BUILD UP AND THE SEALS WILL FAIL AND THE OIL GET ALL OVER THE REAR BRAKES CAUSES THE BRAKES TO FAIL. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TANK OF FUEL. IT SEEMS TO STAY THERE FOR SOME TIME, THEN AFTER SOME MILEAGE DROPS COMPLETELY BELOW EMPTY, THE FUEL WARNING COMES ON SOLID (NOT GRADUAL BEFORE THIS FAILURE). ALL INDICATIONS UPON FILLING UP IS THAT THE TANK IS CLOSE TO EMPTY. ALL INDICATIONS APPEAR TO BE IDENTICAL WITH A SIMILAR RECALL FOR THE SAME RECALL FOR THE NISSAN FRONTIER XE MODELS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTERWARD IN THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. MINE MANUFACTURED 08/06. THAT RECALL IS NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 2WD PICKUP. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS A LITTLE LOOSE BUT THE DEALER ASSURED US IT WAS OK. THE VEHICLE HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT AND WE ARE BEING TOLD THAT THE STEERING COLUMN BEARING HAS FAILED AND MUST BE REPLACED AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND RECURRENT PROBLEM ON CERTAIN NISSAN VEHICLES. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE FAILURE OF THE BEARING LEADS TO LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. WHEN WE CONTACTED THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, ALTHOUGH MANY COMPLAINTS WERE RECEIVED. FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THE BEARING BEING SOLD FOR REPLACEMENT IS THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL PART AND MAY FAIL AGAIN. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC, READING EMPTY WHEN IT'S FULL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NISSAN HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN # 07069 FOR A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. *TR
