2007 Nissan Frontier complaints

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM. MANY REPORTS OF THIS ONLINE AND APPARENTLY NISSAN RECALLED THE 2006 AND 2008 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM (CODE P0463). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS FUELED, THE GAS GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY AN INACCURATE READING. THE GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY FOR ABOUT 50 MILES AND THEN READ FULL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED BUT THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT MOST LIKELY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED BUT HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 36,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,289.

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. *TR

2007 NISSAN, FRONTIER...FUEL GAUGE WENT OUT AFTER 42,000 MILE.... WHY? IS THERE ANY MORE OUT THERE. *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

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND HE HAD TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE AND THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE DEALER ADVISED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND ANY REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 81,000.

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER GAS GAUGE QUITS WORKING AND SENDS A SIGNAL FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON. ONLINE THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH FRONTIERS, XTERRAS AND PATHFINDERS WITH THE IDENTICAL ISSUE. PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY A BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT. *TR

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER PICK UP. CONSUMER STATES FUEL SENDING UNIT IN THE GAS TANK HAS MALFUNCTIONED *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL, EVEN THOUGH HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *JB

WHEN ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED DOWN THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ACCELERATION OF VEHICLE WHILE IN SLOW TRAFFIC. IT RACED FOR A SECOND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. 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

THE FUEL GAUGE ACTS ERRATICALLY, I CAN FILL THE GAS TANK UP WITH FUEL BUT THE NEEDLE STILL SHOWS THAT I'M EMPTY. I'M SURE IT'S THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE HAS 44000 MILES ON IT NOW, AND AROUND 38,000 MILES WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN 2007 FRONTIER THAT I BOUGHT NEW BACK IN NOV. 2007. THIS VEHICLE HAS A BAD GAS PUMP SENSOR THAT MAKE A WARNING ON THE PANEL( ENGINE PROBLEM ) BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM I AM UNABLE TO READ HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT. IT ALWAYS MARK THE TANK AS EMPTY. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE MY CAR VIN# WAS NOT ON THE RECALLS I COULD DO ANYTHING. I AM UNABLE TO TRAVEL INTERSTATE OR LONG DISTANCES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATED, INDICATING THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. EVEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL, THE LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. WHEN THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER, HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN RECALL 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILIARY TANK) AND ALL REPAIR EXPENSES WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER XE. I HAD ABOUT 1/4 TANK OF GAS WHEN I DECIDED TO FILL IT UP. STARTED MY TRUCK AND MY GAS GAUGE READ 0 AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DRIVING A WHILE, MY GAS GAUGE STARTED TO READ A LITTLE LEVEL. AS I DROVE THE LEVEL WOULD COME UP SLOWLY UNTIL IT FINALLY READ A FULL TANK. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO ME, I HEARD ABOUT A RECALL NISSAN WAS ISSUING ON VEHICLES WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS, ALL DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT CALLED NISSAN TO SEE IF MY TRUCK QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT AND IT DIDN'T. NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME TO TAKE THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN TO CHECK AND SEE IF INDEED THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEED REPAIR. THE TEST THE DEALERSHIP RAN DID INDEED CONFIRM THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WAS FAULTY. NISSAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD LOG MY COMPLAINT BUT WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX IT BECAUSE MY TRUCK WASN'T COVER UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHER RECALLED VEHICLES. *TR

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER LE. THE FUEL GAUGE STICKS AT 1/4 TANK WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL IS LOW EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS NEARLY EMPTY. WHEN REFILLING THE TANK THE GAUGE STAYED AT 1/4 TANK FOR A COUPLE OF MILES BEFORE IT CAME BACK TO FULL. AS OF THE LAST FILL UP THE GAUGE IS STILL READING 1/4. ALSO THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS LIT. I HAVE READ ABOUT RECALL INVOLVING THE FUEL GAUGE FOR 2006 AND 2008 FRONTIERS AND CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY 2007 IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I'VE READ NUMEROUS ACCOUNTS OF 2007 MODELS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 2006 AND 2008 MODELS SO I AM VERY DISPLEASED THAT NISSAN IS NOT INCLUDING 2007S. IT SEEMS TO BE SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. THERE IS CLEARLY A FAULT IN THE PART OR DESIGN. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. AS WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE, UPON FILLING THE TANK THE GAUGE WILL READ EMPTY AND THEN DURING THE DRIVE IT ACTS ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES IT WILL READ CORRECTLY ONE MINUTE AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT'S ON EMPTY AGAIN. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING TO KNOW THIS WAS A RECALL IN OTHER YEARS YET NISSAN WON'T MAN UP AND FIX THESE ISSUES. I WON'T BUY ANOTHER NISSAN BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY ARE HANDLING THIS OR SHOULD I SAY NOT HANDLING THIS. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN YOUR GAUGE IS OBVIOUSLY FAULTY AND TELLING YOU THERE'S FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK: THE FUEL GAUGE IMMEDIATELY REGISTERED "EMPTY" AND CONTINUED READING SAME. CURRENT TO DATE, NO CHANGES IN READING. ITS' CONSEQUENCES ARE ON-GOING THAT A SERIOUS INCIDENT COULD OCCUR ON THE HIGHWAY BY RUNNING OUT OF FUEL, LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A CURRENT FAILURE, AND HAS NOT HAD REPAIRED OR REPLACED. SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL FOR REPAIRS. FAULTY, AND COULD BE UNSAFE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WILL EITHER READ EMPTY OR HAVE AN ERRATIC READING. NISSAN HAD A RECALL FOR THESE UNITS FOR 2006, 2008, AND 2009, BUT NOT 2007, WHICH IS THE YEAR OF MY NISSAN FRONTIER. MY UNIT FAILED JUST LIKE THE RECALLED UNITS, BUT NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THIS OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE UNIT. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE UNIT BECAUSE IT IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OF 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR FAILED CAUSING INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE THAT THERE WAS NO FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER ADVISED REPLACING THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. ANY REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WERE MANUFACTURED BY COOPER TIRE & RUBBER CO. AND THE TIRE LINE WAS LEXINGTON ES-335 (KENDA H RATED), SIZE 215/60R15. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. TWO WEEKS LATER THE REAR DRIVER SIDE, TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. BOTH OF THE TIRES WERE TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHICH WAS WHERE THEY WERE PURCHASED. THE INDEPENDENT DEALER REPLACED BOTH OF THE TIRES WITH THE SAME BRAND AND STATED THAT HE COULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND OR TIRE LINE. THE WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR. THE MANUFACTURER TOLD AN INDEPENDENT DEALER THAT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED BY THE CONTACT. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 35,000.

FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED 2 55,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK CAP AND REPLACED IT ACCORDINGLY BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. ALTHOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FAILURE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000- FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILIARY TANK) THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO REDUCE THE REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 129,000.

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER XE PICK UP. AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS ON 2/28/2010 I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE DID NOT MOVE TO THE FULL MARK. THE FUEL GAUGE EVENTUALLY (AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING) BEGAN TO MOVE TO ABOUT THE 3/4 FULL MARK. MY WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER ON 3/1/2010 FOR A STRANGE ENGINE NOISE AND TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THE SERVICE MANAGER FROM THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. I AUTHORIZED THE DEALER TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR,(3/3/2010) THE COST WAS $474.38. THE NEXT DAY A FRIEND CALLED TO TELL ME THAT THEY HEARD OF A NHTSA RECALL ON CERTAIN NISSAN MODELS REGARDING THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONING. I CONSULTED YOUR WEBSITE AND IN READING THE SUMMARY OF THE RECALL DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS VERY SIMILAR IF NOT EXACT TO THE SYMPTOMS MY VEHICLE HAD DEMONSTRATED. I CALLED NISSAN AND FURNISHED MY VIN FULLY EXPECTING MY VEHICLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY NISSAN INSISTED MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. I APPEALED WITHIN THEIR COMPANY ASKING THEM TO CONSIDER COVERING THE COST OF THE REPAIR SINCE THE DEFECT SO CLOSELY MIRRORED THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY VIN WAS TECHNICALLY EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THEY REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE TOWARDS MY REPAIR COSTS. I REALIZE THAT I AM ASKING A LARGE COMPANY TO SHOW INTEGRITY SINCE THEY ARE SECURE THAT MY VIN IS EXCLUDED, BUT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD HONOR MY REQUEST GIVEN THE NATURE OF MY REPAIR AND THE RECALL. IS THERE ANYTHING NHTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE DRIVER STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. WHEN GASOLINE WAS ADDED TO THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL INDICATOR WOULD READ EMPTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY REMAINED ILLUMINATED ON THE WARNING PANEL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 51,000. UPDATED 05/12/10 *BF UPDATED 05/14/10.*JB

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER XE AND MY FUEL SENDING UNIT IS GOING BAD RESULTING IN ME RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON US I35 WITH A NEAR REAR ENDING. THERE ARE MANY RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT MINE DOES NOT APPLY FOR SOME REASON.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER JUST TURNED 43,000 MILES AND LIKE SO MANY OTHERS MY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT OUT,WAS TOLD MINE WASN'T ON RECALL LIST YET. *TR

FUEL SENSING UNIT ON MY '07 FRONTIER WENT OUT. THOUGH I'M READING MANY REPORTS NOW OF FUEL GAUGES THAT DON'T RISE TO "FULL" AT FILL-UP, MINE WAS THE OPPOSITE. AFTER A FEW EPISODES OF "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT COMING ON, THEN CLEARING ITSELF, I WAS HEADING DOWN HIGHWAY IN THE CENTER LANE DURING RUSH HOUR. THOUGH MY GAUGE SAID 1/4 TANK,IN FACT I WAS OUT OF GAS, LOST POWER, AND HAD TO COAST AS I MADE MY WAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OVER TO THE SHOULDER. IT WOULDN'T START TIL A BUDDY BROUGHT A CAN OF GAS, THEN IT STARTED RIGHT UP. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT AS A TOASTED FSU, BUT BECAUSE THE TRUCK WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD TO SHELL OUT $407.00 BUCKS TO GET IT REPLACED. THIS ISSUE IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE AND AN UNNECESSARY EXPENSE...IT'S DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS FOR SOMEONE CAUGHT IN A SITUATION WHEN THE FSU FAILS, AND THEY CAN'T MANEUVER OUT OF A SITUATION BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. IN MY OPINION, THIS FAILURE, WHICH I'M NOW LEARNING IS QUITE COMMON, DEMANDS A RECALL. AND IF A RECALL IS ISSUED, HOW ABOUT A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE ALREADY HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS? *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. 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

YESTERDAY MORNING THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER 4 X 4 (APPROXIMATELY 46,000 MILES) APPEARED TO WORK NORMALLY WHEN IT SHOWED PERHAPS 30 MILES LEFT TO DRIVE BEFORE EMPTY. IT TOOK ALMOST 20 GALLONS TO FILL IT UP. AFTER FILLING UP FULLY, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. TODAY THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS ABOUT 5/8THS OF A TANK LEFT, WITH MY HAVING DRIVEN ABOUT 10 MILES SINCE FILLING UP. IT SEEMS THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE 2006 AND 2008 MODELS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED. UNLESS NISSAN CHANGED PARTS OR DESIGN IN 2007, IT MAKES NO SENSE WHY THE FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM OF 2006 SHOULD HAVE SKIPPED 2007 AND REAPPEARED IN 2008! (WITH REGARD TO MY TRUCK, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILURE. THE PROBLEM LOOKS TO BE PERSISTENT, AND THE SAFETY ISSUE OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC IS THE SAME AS FOR THE TO-BE-RECALLED 2006 AND 2008 MODELS). *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT MAY TURN ON (INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF) WITH A SEATED PASSENGER WEARING A SEAT BELT. NISSAN DEALERSHIP CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM -- BROUGHT IT IN THREE TIMES IN 2009 AND 2010. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. RECENTLY, WHEN I WOULD FILL UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAS GAUGE WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. AFTER TRAVELING FOR ABOUT 30-45 MINUTES, THE GAS GAUGE WOULD MOVE UP TO FULL, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD STAY ON. I CAN DISCONNECT THE BATTERY, AND THE GAS GAUGE WORKS CORRECTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT. ALL IS NORMAL UNTIL I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AGAIN, AND SAME PROBLEM. I WENT TODAY TO GET MY NC VEHICLE INSPECTION, AND IT FAILED DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND WHEN THEY PUT THE OBDII TESTER ON, IT GAVE THEM A P0463 CODE. AFTER READING ALL THE COMMENTS ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S. IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY NISSAN, AS THEY HAVE DONE FOR OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

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 APPARENTLY THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN I THOUGHT...THERE DEF. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL!! A COUPLE WKS AGO I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP, I WAS AT ABOUT A 1/4 OF A TANK. AFTER FILLING, GOT IN THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT ON, AND SAW THAT IT WAS STILL SAYING I HAD A QUARTER OF A TANK. ANYWAYS, I IGNORED IT UNTIL A COUPLE MILES DOWN THE ROAD THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. WENT DIRECTLY TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED PART NUMBER 25060- FUEL LEVEL SENSOR I DID A SEARCH AND FOUND OUT I'M NOT ALONE. WENT TO THE GAS STATION TONIGHT WITH A LITTLE LESS THEN 3/4 TANK AND FILLED IT UP - HAD TO STOP AT THE STORE ANYWAY SO I GASSED UP. ANYWAY, DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I LOOKED DOWN AND MY FUEL GAUGE IS ON EMPTY AND THE LIGHT ON. INTERESTING, I THOUGHT. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON LATER. HE, I WAS THINKING SOME KIND OF GAS POCKET OR SOMETHING SO I GOT HOME AND UN DID THE GAS CAP, AND DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE CHECK ENGINE CLEARED, BUT THE FUEL EMPTY IS STILL THERE. I HAVE A 2005 FRONTIER. BOUGHT MY TRUCK NEW IN 1/05 AND NOW H

FUEL SENDING UNIT NOT WORKING RIGHT WHEN FILL TANK UP THE FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY STAYS AT EMPTY THIS COULD BE SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE AND GET STRANDED. *TR

FILLED UP AT GAS STATION. FUEL GAUGE CONTINUED READING 1/4 TANK. 10 MILES LATER IT WAS AT 1/2. IN ANOTHER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING IT WAS AT FULL. LATER THAT NIGHT, THE SERVICE ENIGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. *CN

P0463 - FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES. *TR

FUEL GAUGE IS ACTING VERY ERRATIC. I TOP OFF THE TANK AND THE NEEDLE READS BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL MOST OF THE TIME. AFTER 50-70 MILES THE GAUGE READS 1/2 TANK. I BOUGHT THIS 2007 USED WITH 3000 MILES ON IT AND THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER 6 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK SOMETIMES AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES, ONLY 40,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER PICK UP TRUCK THAT I BOUGHT NEW.IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 57K MILES ON IT. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE FUEL SENDING GAUGE BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING. AFTER A FUEL FILL UP IT WOULD REGISTER FULL HOWEVER AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT WOULD DROP TO THE EMPTY POSITION AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON ( IT IS STILL ON NOW). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST $650 TO REPAIR. SINCE IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT, I DIDN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED. I GOOGLED SOME INFORMATION REGARDING THE NISSAN FUEL SENDING UNIT TO SEE IF I COULD MAKE THE REPAIR MYSELF AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS OF NISSAN PRODUCTS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I'M MORE THAN A LITTLE FRUSTRATED THAT THE DEALER NEVER MENTIONED THIS AS A PROBLEM. I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO USES THIS TRUCK AT JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY. I'VE TOLD HER TO CHECK THE TRIPOMETER ETC BUT I'M AFRAID THAT SHE WILL FORGET AND AT SOME POINT RUN OUT OF GAS. THIS PRESENTS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER V6 4X4 WITH 50,000 MILES. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READING INCORRECTLY AFTER FILLING UP. NOW THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ON. HAD NO IDEA SO MANY OTHERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR NISSAN PRODUCTS. I READ THE RECALL AND SERVICE POSTING. YOU MUST INCLUDE 2007 VEHICLES SUCH AS MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER PICK UP TRUCK 4WD. THIS SAME CONDITION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON MY TRUCK SINCE MID/LATE 2008 AND DRIVING ME CRAZY. THE LIGHT NOW COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF DRIVING...FIRST BLINKING AND THEN STEADY. IT GOES OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES. PROBLEM IS, THIS HAPPENS NOW EVERY DAY. PLEASE INCLUDE 2007 VEHICLES SUCH AS MINE. THANKS, JIM TRIEBWASSER *TR

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 55,000 MILES DEVELOPED "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WHEN FILLED UP WITH GASOLINE. CODE SHOWN WHEN READ WAS "FUEL SENDING UNIT HIGH OUTPUT". AFTER RESEARCH WITH SEVERAL NISSAN DEALERS, AN APPROXIMATE REPAIR COST OF $600 WAS GIVEN, INCLUDING A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR READING THE CODES. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROPERLY OPERATING FUEL GAUGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5,000 MILES SINCE, DUE TO HIGH COST OF REPAIR NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. THIS IS A RISK SINCE THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY ONCE TANK IS BELOW HALF FULL. THIS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER COMPONENTS UPON VEHICLE CEASING TO OPERATE ONCE OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A RECURRING DEFECT IN SIMILAR AND PAST MODEL YEARS THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS CHOOSING TO IGNORE ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER XE, AUTOMATIC. I NOTICED MY TIRES WERE STARTING TO WEAR ON THE INSIDE. AT 21,000 MILES I DID NOT WANT TO BE REPLACING MY TIRES TOO SOON. TOOK TO SEARS FOR A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND TIRE ROTATION. THE TOE IN WAS WAY OUT AND SO WAS THE CAMBER. THE TOE IN WAS ADJUSTED, BUT THE CAMBER COULD NOT BE ADJUSTED. THE REASON: NO CAMBER ADJUSTMENT WAS AVAILABLE. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT DOES NOT COME WITH IT, THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE CAMBER KIT. THIS COST ME $82.00. THEREFORE I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO SEARS TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. LUCKILY I KNOW THE MANAGER AND TECHNICIAN. THEY WILL DO THE REALIGNED NO CHARGE, BUT THE CAMBER KIT INSTALLATION WILL COST ME $120.00.... WHY WOULD THE MANUFACTURER NOT ENSURE THAT THIS ADJUSTMENT WAS INSTALLED ON ALL VEHICLES. IT SOUNDS LIKE A MONEY MAKER TO ME. *TR

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

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

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

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

I FILLED UP MY TANK FROM EMPTY AND THE FUEL GUAGE CONTINUED TO READ AS EMPTY. THE NEXT DAY IT READ AS HALF FULL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS STILL FULL. NOW IT READS EMPTY AGAIN DISPITE STILL BEING FULL AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS NOW ON. *TR
