2005 NISSAN FRONTIER Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL SENDING UNIT PROBLEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY NISSAN, REGARDLESS OF WHAT MONTH THE VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS OBVIOUS THE SAME PART WAS USED ON VEHICLES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT READ FULL. *JB

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AROUND 9 PM AT 65 MPH. THE ENGINE STOPPED I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COME TO A SAFE STOP. I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL ,THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED 1/8 TANK OF FUEL LEFT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I GOT FUEL AND DROVE IT HOME. HOOKED THE TRUCK TO A SCANNER CODE P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. I BELIEVE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. THE DEALER TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED BY THAT RECALL. CAN YOU TELL ME IF MY TRUCK IS COVERED UNDER ANY OTHER RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU . *TR

MY NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCK'S "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT APPEARED. THE WARNING WAS DTC P0463. IT CORRESPONDS WITH NISSAN'S TECHNICAL BULLETIN EL07-027B, REFERENCE NTB07-069B. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 9/24/11 AND 72,000 MILES OR LESS. MY VEHICLE'S MILEAGE IS AT 32,500 MILES. NISSAN RECOGNIZED THAT IT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE MUCH. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET. MANY OF THE PROBLEMS APPEARED AT THE 30,000 MILE MARK. MY FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND DOES NOT SHOW AN ACCURATE LEVEL OF FUEL. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE DETERIORATION OF THE UNIT BASED ON USE AND NOT TIME; THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD EITHER RECALL THIS PART OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY WITH EITHER THE TIME OR MILEAGE OR UNLIMITED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY FUEL WILL RUN OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN. THEY DON'T TAKE OWNERSHIP OVER THEIR PROBLEMS. I PERSONALLY WILL NOT PURCHASE A NISSAN VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR

PASSING OTHER VEHICLE ON I-45 TOWARDS DOWNTOWN AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE ENGINE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STALLING. I WAS IN DANGER TO CRASH OTHERS WITH PROBLEMS TO GET OUR OF THE HIGH SPEED LINES. AT THAT MOMENT THE ENGINE TOTALLY STALLED ,. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO REACH THE EXTREME RIGHT LINE AND PULL OUT WAITING FOR A COMPLETE STOP. I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT NO HELP. I DID NOT BELIEVE IT BUT WANTED BE SURE THAT NO LACK OF FUEL WAS THE ORIGIN BECAUSE I ALREADY HAD THE PROBLEM WITH FUEL SENDING UNIT PROBLEM WHICH DO NOT WORK PROPERLY TO ACCURATELY SHOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS ON THE FUEL TANK. I GOT SOME EXTRA FUEL. WE RETURNED AND POURED THE 1 GALLON CAN , THEN I TRIED TO STAR THE ENGINE. IT CRANKED BUT NO STARTING. I CALLED MY INSURANCE REQUESTING TOWING SERVICE . I TRIED TWO MORE TIMES AND AFTER THAT THE ENGINE STARTED ROUGHLY AND HESITATING. AFTER 2 MINUTES AND STABILIZED I DECIDED TO CONTINUE. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO CANCEL THE TOWING SERVICE . DECIDED TO CONTINUE ON I-45 BUT ON THE EXTREME RIGHT HAND SIDE LINE. I ARRIVED HOME WITH NO OTHER ISSUES AND AFTER PARKING ON MY DRIVEWAY, SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE, THEN I TRIED TO RESTART IT BUT NOTHING . ONLY CRANKING GOOD BUT NO STARTING AT ALL. FINALLY AFTER SOME LIKE 10 SECONDS OF CRANKING, THE ENGINE HESITATED BUT STARTED. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE , THEY SCANNED IT AND GAVE ME THE CODES P043 FOR THE FAILED FUEL SENDIN UNIT ( FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ) AND THE CODE P0335 WHICH IS PROBLEM WITH THE CIRCUIT OR SIGNAL OR SENSOR CRANKSHAFT. I MADE SEARCH TO FIND IT AND TODAY, SUNDAY 29, AFTER SEVERAL HOURS, FINALLY REMOVED AND REPLACED IT. AFTER THIS THE TRUCK STARTS VERY GOOD AS USUALLY BEFORE THE STALLING EXPERIENCES. COST WAS SOME LIKE 23 DOLLAR BUT THE RISK IN WHAT I WAS AND EXPOSING OTHERS HAS NO PRICE. IS NECESSARY TO HAVE A CRASH OR FATAL RESULTS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THIS A RECALL TO PROTECT OTHERS? *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER LE 4X4 RECORDED A P0463 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT) EARLIER THIS WEEK. IT CLEARED CAME BACK ONCE, AND NOW IS CONSTANT. AFTER FILLING THE TANK, THE FUEL GAUGE TOOK APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES TO REGISTER FULL. NOW MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AT ALL- IT SIMPLY DISPLAYS ZERO FUEL PRESENT IN THE TANK. I'VE ALREADY RAN OUT OF FUEL ONCE THIS WEEK, ON THE HIGHWAY. I'VE CONTACTED A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, APPARENTLY NISSAN HAS A RECALL (OR TSB?) FOR CERTAIN NISSAN FRONTIERS- HOWEVER MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS 133,000 MILES AND IS THUS NOT ELIGIBLE. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST? *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM POST OFFICE IN AUGUST 2010 TRUCK WOULD NOT EXCEED 35 MPH AND STARTED TO SHAKE INTENSELY. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED $9500 TO FIX, I WAS OVER MILEAGE BY ABOUT 1500 MILES SO ALL OUT OF POCKET. I PARKED IT IMMEDIATELY DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS, MUCH DUE TO A $565 PAYMENT FOR A $30K NEW TRUCK FOR 5PLUS YEARS. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DENIED ME ANY ASSISTANCE, AND WAS ACTUALLY MORE RUDE THAN THE HAVE THE LEAST BIT OF EMPATHY WHILE I WAS TOLD I DID REACH THE TOP PERSON WHO WAS THE FINAL SAY. MANY MONTHS PASSED AND I REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND OTHER THINGS, SO IT APPEARED AS I SAVED THE TRANS FROM HARM BY PARKING IT BUT NOW AT 98000 MILES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CODING AN AT BRAKE ISSUE WHILE THE TRANNY IS GETTING JUMPY AND SLUGGISH AGAIN. QUICK SEARCH RETURNS A BIG EXPENSE AND CROSS CONTAMINATION MOST LIKELY DID OCCUR AND CAN END UP COSTING ME WELL OVER $40000 IN THE LONG RUN FOR A MIDSIZE TRUCK THAT I HAVE OWNED AND TOOK GOOD CARE OF SINCE NEW AND I CANT EVEN GET RID OF IT NOW EXCEPT FOR LOSING EVEN MORE MONEY...VERY UNHAPPY AS AN OWNER OF 4 NISSANS IN MY TIME I REALLY EXPECTED A QUALITY PRODUCT, NOW I WORRY ABOUT WHEN IT COULD GO, AS I WAS RECENTLY LAID OFF I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR REPAIRS OR ANOTHER CAR. *TR

FUEL SENSOR & GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED; NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECTIVE PART, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE. THEY DOUBLED THE WARRANTY OF THE PART, BUT I FALL OUTSIDE THE "YEARS OWNED" GUIDELINES. NONETHELESS, I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR THE ITEM FOR FREE SINCE IT'S BEEN DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY PART ON MANY VEHICLES AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INACCURACY - NISSAN CHOSE NOT TO INCLUDE MODEL YEAR 2005 FRONTIERS IN A VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN THAT WAS ISSUED ON 2006 AND 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES (CAMPAIGN ID# PC 042). IN THE ALTERNATIVE, NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OF 2005 MODELS FROM 36 TO 72 MONTHS. MY 2005 VEHICLE IS NOW EXHIBITING THE CONDITION THE CONDITION WHEREIN THE FUEL GAGE READS ONE QUARTER TANK, WHEN THE TANK IS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THIS RESULTED IN AN OUT OF FUEL INCIDENT OCCURRING ON THE HIGHWAY, A NEAR ACCIDENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY BEING STRANDED AWAITING ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. ALTHOUGH MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES - IT HAS BEEN 78 MONTHS SINCE PURCHASE AND NISSAN IS DENYING MY REQUEST FOR COVERAGE OF THE REPAIR COST. HAD NISSAN RIGHTLY INFORMED ME OF THE CONDITION VIA INCLUSION IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN - I WOULD HAVE HAD THE DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. INSTEAD I AM BEING FORCED TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIR FOR THIS SAFETY DEFECT. I THEREFORE AM REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY RELATED EXPENSES. *TR

"SERVICE ENGINE SOON" MESSAGE APPEARED AND FUEL GAUGE FAILED. CODE CHECK REVEALED-PO463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE. BASED ON INTERNET SEARCH MOST OF THIS NISSAN PRODUCT OF VARIOUS YEARS HAS THIS PROBLEM,- A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND NISSAN REFUSES TO REPAIR UNDER WHAT SHOULD BE A RECALL IN MY OPINION.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER W/~91,000 MILES. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. THE FUEL LEVEL READING VARIES FROM A LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT TO FULL WITH EACH TIME THE TRUCK IS RESTARTED. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF WITH EACH RESTART. THE NISSAN 'RECALL' FOR THIS PROBLEM IS RESTRICTED TO SUCH A LOW MILEAGE, THAT MANY VEHICLE OWNERS ARE STUCK EITHER LIVING WITH THE PROBLEM OR PAYING OVER $450 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. SO MUCH FOR THEIR INTEREST IN BUILDING ANY BRAND LOYALTY. *TR

ON MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCK THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHTS COMES ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. ONE CANNOT TELL HOW MANY MILES ARE LEFT IN DRIVING ON THE TANK OF FUEL DUE TO IMPROPER REPORTS BY THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER ALONG WITH THE IMPROPER READING ON THE FUEL GAUGE, CREATING A HAZARDOUS CONDITION FOR TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY DURING NIGHT DRIVING AND IN MOUNTAIN PASS CONDITIONS IN WINTER. DIAGNOSTICS INDICATE A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE AS THE CURRENT RECALL ONLY GOES TO 72K MILES. THIS PROBLEM STARTED PAST 81K MILES ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS APPARENT THIS PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC AND A REAL ISSUE THAT NISSAN IS HARD-BENT ON NOT COVERING, IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO AS MY TRUCK HAS TOO MANY MILES ON IT. I ADVISED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD COVER THE ISSUE, GIVEN ITS QUITE APPARENT THERE IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM AT HAND. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AS THE RECALL DOES NOT EXTEND THAT FAR OUT AND THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FIX IT, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWNED A NISSAN FRONTIER 2005 AND JUST LATELY I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE ASSY NOT WORKING WHEN I PUT FULL TANK FUEL AND YET THE GAUGE STILL READS ZERO. I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM NISSAN THAT INDEED THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2005 FRONTIER FOR FUEL GAUGE FAILURES. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE NEAREST NISSAN REPAIR SHOP AND BUT THEY DON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL SINCE MY MILEAGE IS MORE THAN 90K MILES AND THEY SAID THE RECALL HAD LAPSE ALREADY. I REFUTED THAT I JUST RECEIVED THE LETTER LAST WEEK AND HOW COME IT HAS LAPSED ALREADY. BUT STILL THEY ASK ME TO PAY MORE THAT $400 FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER IS ERRATIC AND NOT CORRECT. I HAVE A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON NOW. THE CODE IS P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. NISSAN CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL FOR 2006 FRONTIERS AND A LITTLE RESEARCH ON SOME NISSAN FORUMS SHOWS MANY 2005 MODELS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I DON'T HAVE $600+ TO FIX MY FUEL GAUGE. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD INCLUDE THE 2005 FRONTIERS IN THE RECALL. ALSO, NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN NTB07-069B INCLUDES THE 2005 FRONTIER. *TR

CONCERNING MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER 4X4 NISMO. I NOTICED MY DTE (DISTANCE TO EMPTY) INDICATOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT READ ---- AND THEN 0. SHORTLY AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AT X.NISSANHELP.COM AND OTHER SITES. AFTER SEARCHING, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT 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 SAFETY RECALL WAS MADE BY NISSAN. ACCORDING TO ALL ACCOUNTS SOMETHING IN THE FUEL SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND CORRODES OVER TIME. EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING IN THE RANGE OF 39,000 TO 80,000 + MILES. SINCE 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 SHOULD CUSTOMERS HAVE TO 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 PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE PRE-OWNED. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD 'AS-IS', THE DEALER REFUSED TO FIX THE GAS GAUGE CONCERN WHEN I DISCOVERED IT WAS MALFUNCTIONING. AS LONG AS I SET THE TRIP ODOMETER WHEN I FILLED UP WITH GAS & I WAS THE ONLY ONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THIS WORKED FINE. HOWEVER, IN THE PAST YEAR I HAVE BEEN HAVING FAMILY MEMBERS DRIVE MY VEHICLE & THEY DON'T KNOW OR FORGET TO SET THE TRIP ODOMETER. TWICE IN THE LAST YEAR I HAD THIS VEHICLE RUN OUT OF GAS WITH ME. THE LAST TIME IT RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE I-10 BRIDGE CROSSING THE MISSISSIPPI SOUND. NOT THE BEST PLACE TO BE AT NIGHT' THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WHO CAME TO GET ME TOLD ME THAT NISSAN HAD A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FRONTIERS FOR THEIR GAS SENDING UNITS. NISSAN ELECTED NOT TO REPAIR THIS CONCERN BECAUSE THEY STATED MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER GAS GAUGE READS 1/4 FULL WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY. CAUSES ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I DRIVE WITH A GALLON OF GAS IN TRUCK BED, SO WHEN I RUN OUT I CAN GET TO A GAS STATION. I HAVE TO STAND ON THE ROAD WITH TRAFFIC GOING BY TO POUR THE GAS IN WHEN IT RUNS OUT, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHEN THE GAUGE INDICATES THERE IS GAS IN THE TANK. NISSAN RECALLED 2006 TO 2008 FRONTIERS BUT NOT 2005. I ASKED NISSAN DUE TO THE PRODUCTION YEAR 2005 AND IDENTICAL PROBLEM ON THE 2005, COMPARED TO THE 2006- 2008 RECALL, TO PLEASE REPAIR THEY REPLIED NO, ITS NOT PART OF THE RECALL . HOW DO I HOLD NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR ISSUING A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER AND THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING ON THE ROADWAY EVEN THOUGH THE GAUGES INDICATED 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS REMAINING. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING BEHIND ME. FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A ROADWAY WITH A TRAVEL SPEED OF 35MPH AND NOT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAD TO PUSH MY VEHICLE TO THE ROADSIDE AND CALL FOR ASSISTANCE FROM A FAMILY MEMBER. I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO FIND THAT THE VEHICLE IS KNOW TO HAVE A FAILURE OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE RECALLED 2006-2010 MODELS OF THE NISSAN FRONTIER BUT THE 2005 MODEL USING THE SAME PART WAS NOT. I HAD TO PAY THE DEALER AN 89.95 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO CONFIRM WHAT THEY ALREADY TOLD ME AND THEN PAY 470.00 ADDITIONAL IN PART AND LABOR FEES. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND DENIES THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 MODEL EVEN THOUGH I PRESENTED THEM WITH A FACTORY SERVICE BULLETIN I OBTAINED THAT CLEARLY IDENTIFIES THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2005 MODEL YEAR AND TELLS THE DEALER WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO REPLACE AND ALLOWS THEM TO CLAIM FOR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PART FROM NISSAN.

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE THERE APPEAR TO BE THOUSANDS OF INSTANCES OF THE SAME OCCURRENCE HAPPENING TO NISSAN FRONTIERS, AND XTERRAS.

THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR MINE BECAUSE IT IS A 2005 AND ARE REFUSING TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR AN OBVIOUS DEFECTIVE PART. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT ARE HAVING TO SPEND IN EXCESS OF $600.00. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD ENOUGH FUEL WHEN INFACT I DID NOT. MY SON WAS DRIVING IT TO COLLEGE AT COLLEGE ON AUGUST 21ST WHEN HE THOUGHT HE HAD FUEL WHEN THE TRUCK WAS EMPTY. I'M AFRAID TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN SHOULD THE VEHICLE RUN OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. PLEASE WITH YOUR HELP AND PERSUASION, WE CAN GET NISSAN CORPORATION TO REPAIR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO RECALL ON NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP TRUCKS? THEY HAVE HAD THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS REPORTED ONLINE ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE DUE TO CROSS CONTAMINATION OF TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ENGINE COOLANT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION COOLER PIPE DESIGN. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. ALSO I HAVE A FAILED GAS GAUGE SENDING UNIT. AGAIN THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ONLINE. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS ON OTHER VEHICLES FOR THE SAME REASON, YET NOT ON THE NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. THE RECALLS ON OTHERS WAS ISSUED BECAUSE THERE WOULD BE FALSE READINGS OF FUEL LEVELS AND A PERSON COULD RUN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AND ACCIDENT. THE SAME PROBLEM CAN OCCUR WITH THE NISSAN FRONTIER BECAUSE THE GAUGE GIVES AN INACCURATE READING OR SHOWS EMPTY YET THERE IS FUEL IN THE TANK AND THE OPERATOR WOULD HAVE NO IDEA IF HE IS ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF GAS OR NOT. BACK TO THE TRANSMISSION, THE TRANSMISSION CAN GO OUT COMPLETELY WITHOUT NOTICE DUE TO THE CROSS CONTAMINATION. THERE IS NO WAY TO NO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM UNTIL IT WAS TO LATE. THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AND THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING THERE IS A PROBLEM UNLESS YOU CHECK THE RADIATOR PERIODICALLY. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND THE PROBLEM WITH OUT HAVING AN ACTUAL BREAKDOWN. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE A RADIATOR, HAVE MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY CLEANED OUT TWICE TO REMOVE ANY COOLANT, AND NOW MY TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. I AM ASKING FRO AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE NISSAN FRONTIER PROBLEMS AND THE NUMBERS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. I AM SURE THERE WOULD BE A BASIS FOR A RECALL. *TR

I COULD NOT AFFORD, SO HAVE BEEN USING MILEAGE TO ESTIMATE FUEL USAGE.

FUEL TANK LEVEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR.

VEHICLES THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM ARE: 2005-2007 FRONTIERS, XTERRAS, AND PATHFINDERS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE WITH SO MANY OTHERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE NOT KNOWING THE CORRECT LEVEL OF FUEL IN YOUR VEHICLE. SOMEONE COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND PUT THEIR LIVE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S IN JEOPARDY.

THE FAILURE IS WITH MY FUEL SENDING UNIT. IT OCCURS ALL THE TIME. IT PROHIBITS ME FROM READING MY GAS LEVEL. 3. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY NISSAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PART I NEED TO FIX IT CANNOT BE PURCHASED THROUGH THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY SAY THE UNIT IS ON RESTRICTION DUE TO THE RECALL ON THE 2006 MODEL.

NISSAN JUST RECALLED SOME 540,000 ,2006 AND UP VEHICLES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT EXCLUDED THE FIRST YEAR OF THE SECOND GENERATION FRONTIER MODELS. IT IS EASY TO FIND HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THE 2005 EDITIONS ALONE.

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 OR 15 MILES, AND WITH APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WOULD COST $463. I PERFORMED RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER CAR OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE UNIT WILL CORRODE AFTER JUST SEVERAL YEARS OF USE. I ALSO FOUND THAT A SIMILAR PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED. HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH A SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS STILL BEING PUT ON THE CUSTOMER. SINCE THIS IS SUCH A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM THAT INCLUDES AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE CAR IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL AND THE INSTALLATION OF A BETTER DESIGNED UNIT. *TR

Mileage: 51,000

THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT READ CORRECTLY AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON! EX. IF MY LOW FUEL LIGHT IS ON AND I GO FILL UP THE TRUCK, IT STILL READS THAT I NEED GAS AND THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM! THE GAUGE NEVER READS THE GAS LEVEL CORRECTLY! I HAVE ALREADY RAN OUT OF GAS ONCE DUE TO THE FAULTY GAUGE, SO I NOW HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT VIA MILEAGE! THE GAUGE WAS WORKING JUST FINE, AND ONE DAY THIS JUST HAPPENED! I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH IT FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN FRONTIER'S! NOW THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ALWAYS READS THAT THE OIL PRESSURE IS HIGH, WHEN THAT IS NOT THE CASE! SO I NOW WOULDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS HIGH OR NOT, WHICH IF IT WAS IT COULD CAUSE MY ENGINE TO BLOW OUT AND CAUSE A CRASH! *TR

Mileage: 50,000

AFTER FUELING TO A FULL TANK, I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE DID NOT BUDGE OFF THE 1/4 MARK FOR 20+ MILES. EVER-SO SLOWLY, THE GAUGE FINALLY READ "F" BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DIAGNOSTICS REVEALED THE ERROR CODE PO463 AND A BIT OF RESEARCH/ELBOW GREASE, THE PROBLEM CAME DOWN TO THE FUEL SENSOR UNIT. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, WITH QUITE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ACROSS THE INTERNET. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT AFTER EVERY FUELING. WORSE, THE LEVELS ARE INACCURATE AND COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE FUEL PUMP BY RUNNING TO EMPTY. THE ONLY SAFE WAY I CAN OPERATE MY VEHICLE IS BY METICULOUSLY EYEING THE ODOMETER. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50K MILES. I CAN ONLY HOPE THE WARRANTY COVERS THIS FAULTY PART, BECAUSE MY RESEARCH INDICATES A COST OF $300-$600 FOR REPAIRS. *TR

Mileage: 47,000

MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS ONE DAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HAD THE CODE READ WHICH SAID FUEL SENSOR. THE GAUGE SOMETIMES WORKS AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T WHICH CAUSED US TO RUN OUT OF GAS ONE DAY SHORTLY AFTER THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. FORTUNATELY WE WERE ON A QUIET RURAL ROAD AT THE TIME, IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT AND I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WELL KNOWN TO NISSAN. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS. *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 NOR MY DIGITAL FUEL SENSOR ON THE DASHBOARD. 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 OLD. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD BE 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

ODDLY ENOUGH MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AT 58K MILES OR SO. NOW I KNOW YOU THINK SO WHAT FIX IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY SEE ALL THE TIME. SO I LOOKED ONLINE, GOOGLED NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENDING UNIT, AND FOUND LITERALLY 1000'S OF OWNERS WITH THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM ON DOZENS OF MESSAGE BOARDS. SO I CALLED A FEW MORE DEALERS AND REPAIR SHOPS AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING THAT I HAVE READ AND HEARD; THAT THEY WERE FIXING THEM ALL THE TIME. SO I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PROBLEM IS SYSTEMIC TO ALL YEARS SINCE 01 FOR THE NISSAN FRONTIER AND XTERRA (THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME VEHICLE- JUST SHAPED DIFFERENTLY). ANYWAY IF YOU CAN LIGHT A FIRE UNDER SOMEONE'S BUTT OVER THERE AT NISSAN TO INSTITUTE A RECALL I CERTAINLY WOULD APPRECIATE IT. *TR

IN ADDITION TO THE $90 DIAGNOSTIC, WE ARE BEING QUOTED $400 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

THE GAUGE WILL NOT REGISTER ANY FUEL WHEN THE TANK IS FULL OR WHEN IT'S NEAR EMPTY. WHEN THE TANK IS HALF FUEL THE GAUGE SEEMS TO WORK. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND NISSAN HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THERE IS A PROBLEM VIA SERVICE BULLETIN NTB07-069A. HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT STEPPED UP TO RECALL THIS KNOWN FAULTY PART. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNITS THEY PU IN MY TRUCK. IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF THESE FAILURES ARE HAPPENING NEAR THE 40K MARK SO NISSAN DOES NOT COVER THEM UNDER NORMAL WARRANTY. VERY CONVENIENT FOR THEM. *TR

2005 NISSAN FRONTIER: APPARENTLY, MANY NISSANS ARE SHOWING FAULTY FUEL SENDING/LEVEL UNITS (INCLUDING MY OWN). THEY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO HAVE AN NONFUNCTIONAL GAS GAUGE.

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS ALWAYS LIT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FRONTIERS AND PATHFINDERS, BUT NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. WILL STICK WITH TOYOTA CARS IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THE FUEL GAGE DOES NOT REGISTER "FUEL" PROPERLY ON BOTH COMPUTER & GAGE EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE TANK. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. WHEN YOU FILL UP THE TANK, THE GAGE GOES TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THE COMPUTERS SHOWS A READING THAT SAYS -------. EVENTUALLY GAGE WILL SLOWLY GO BACK UP TO FULL AND THE MILES LEFT WILL SHOW ON COMPUTER. WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO HALF TO QUARTER FULL, "MILES LEFT" NO LONGER APPEAR AND FUEL STOPS REGISTERING ON THE GAGE. THIS IS A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO CREW CAB TRUCK WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT IT IS ERROR CODE P0463 AND THAT OUR TRUCK NEEDS A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY NISSAN VEHICLES THIS IS HAPPENING TOO. THE COST IS APPROXIMATELY $600 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 53,000. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THIS PART AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THIS PART. *TR

"I CURRENTLY OWN A 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER AND HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS IN MY FUEL TANK 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 COUNTLESS 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

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER, I NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH. GAS WAS POURING ON THE GROUND FROM ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT GAS WAS SPRAYING FROM THE FUEL PUMP ALL OVER THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK, EVEN ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE AMOUNT OF GAS SPRAYING WAS ABSOLUTELY FRIGHTENING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL TANK HIT A ROCK ON A RECENT TRIP. THIS CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO SMASH AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK AND CREATE THIS PROBLEM. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED THAT WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL, TO 3/4 FULL, ANY IMPACT ON THE CENTER OF THE FUEL TANK, WILL RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO THE FUEL PUMP LIKE I EXPERIENCED. IMPACT TO THE FUEL TANK IS ALMOST UNAVOIDABLE IN ANY OFF ROAD SITUATION. THE FUEL TANK IS THE LOWEST COMPONENT UNDER THE TRUCK, AND THE MAIN POWER WHEEL IN 4WD IS THE WHEEL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS PROBLEM WILL RESULT IN FIERY DEATH, AND/OR FOREST FIRES. THERE IS NO SKID PLATE KIT AVAILABLE TO PROTECT THE GAS TANK AT THIS TIME. THE DEALER REFUSED TO WARRANTY THIS ITEM THE SECOND TIME IT OCCURRED. A NEW FUEL PUMP COST IS IN EXCESS OF $600.00 THIS IS A POOR DESIGN, AND TRULY WILL RESULT IN DEATH. *JB
