2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Nisan Frontier. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to accurately display the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. The contact stated that the failure was more evident once the fuel tank was at the quarter mark. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer confirmed that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V075000 (Fuel System, Gasoline) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

I CALLED NISSAN IN REGARDS TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000. THEY CLAIM THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN [XXX]. MY VEHICLE HAS ROUGHLY 52,000 MILES ON IT AND IS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT TO NISSAN FOR A DIAGNOSIS THAT WILL COST ME ~$150. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND REFERS TO THE FUEL SENDING UNIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE PROVIDED INACCURATE READINGS. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

MY "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. A CODE READ SAID IT WAS MY FUEL SENDING UNIT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE BUT NISSAN CUSTOMER SUPPORT SAID MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED. THEY DID NOT EXPLAIN WHY BUT UPON MY FOLLOW UP, THEY SAID THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE IF THEY COULD HELP/ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THEY REQUIRED THE CODE READ FROM THE DEALER (WHICH I DID AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT). THEY CALL ME BACK A WEEK LATER AND TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT PAY, ALTHOUGH THE REPRESENTATIVE ADMITTED IT WAS THE DEFECT FROM THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, BUT THIS TIME, SHE SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE RECALL WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. SINCE I WAS NEVER PART OF THE RECALL NOTICE, THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW WHEN THE CAMPAIGN WAS IN EFFECT, PLUS - THEY DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO MANY, MANY PEOPLE AND IT SEEMS NISSAN HAS SCAMMED NHTSA AND THE RECALL SYSTEM TO MINIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF REPAIRS THEY HAVE HAD TO MAKE (E.G. THEY VOLUNTEER TO PERFORM THE RECALL, THEN ARTIFICIALLY LIMIT THE NUMBER OF VIN NUMBERS INCLUDED), AND PUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE RECALL BY CALLING IT A WARRANTY EXTENSION. WHEN PEOPLE LIKE ME EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM AND FOLLOW UP, THEY ARE PREPARED WITH A CASCADING NUMBER OF WAYS TO SAY "SO SORRY", BUT NONE OF THEM OWN UP TO THEIR ORIGINAL COMMITMENT TO THE PUBLIC AND THE NHTSA TO CONDUCT AND EXECUTE A FULL RECALL ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE. VERY SLICK, AND VERY UNETHICAL. I AM HOPING THAT THE NHTSA WILL CONDUCT A FULL INVESTIGATION, NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT TO EVENTUALLY FORCE NISSAN TO HONOR THE RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES THAT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM - NOT JUST A FEW VINS THEY NAMED SO THEY CAN SAVE MONEY. *TR

TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC HE SAID IT WAS A TRAN CODE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE COOLANT HAD GOTTEN INTO THE TRANS OR VISE VERSA (A LOT TO TAKE IN),SO I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. I FOUND THIS ISSUE ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE WAS WITHIN THE YEARS OF THE RECALL BUT IT HAS OVER 100,000 IT HAS130 SO THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP WITH THE $5500 BILL THEY JUST QUOTED ME.

NISSAN HAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FAULTY FUEL SENSOR SENDING UNIT ON FRONTIER AND XTERRA TRUCKS. THIS CAUSES THE GAS GAUGE TO STOP WORKING AND RECORD INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS VEHICLE OWNER DOES NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK AND COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON AN INTERSTATE/HIGHWAY OR MOVING THROUGH INTERSECTION, GOING ONTO HIGHWAY EXCHANGES ETC. THIS PUTS DRIVER AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AT RISK. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS PART EVEN THOUGH IT IS DEFECTIVE. I EVEN WENT AS FAR TO ASK THEM IF I PAID FOR THE PART (~$100) WOULD THEY COVER THE LABOR (THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE DROPPED TO CHANGE THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR). THEY SAID NO. *TR

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE WAS SLOW TO RISE AFTER FILLING UP. THIS TIME WHEN I FILLED UP THE GAUGE WAS AT 1/4 AND WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR A LITTLE BIT THE GAUGE INDICATED THAT A WAS LOW ON FUEL AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. *JB

I RECENTLY HAD A "SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT" APPEAR AND WHEN I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALER I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUEL SENSOR FAILURE THAT IS LOCATED IN THE GAS TANK.. I OF COURSE AGREED TO HAVE IT SERVICED WHICH THEY DID AND RESET THE ENGINE LIGHT. I WAS RESEARCHING ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN I STUMBLED ACROSS A RECALL ON THIS SAME YEAR TRUCK FOR THE SAME ITEMS I JUST PAID FOR. THE RECALL BY NISSAN NTB10-031A ISSUED IN MAY 19, 2010. THIS RECALL EXTENDED INTO 2011. IT SEEMS IRONIC THAT WITHIN A FEW MONTHS PERIOD I HAD A FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE THAT REQUIRED THE SAME SERVICE AND EXACTLY THE SAME PARTS REPLACED AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL. I FEEL THIS WAS JUST TOO CLOSE AND TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE TO NOT FALL INTO THIS RECALL. *TR

MY TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND TREMBLE WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN MAKING NOISES AND I HAD TAKEN THE TRUCK IN TO BE CHECKED BY 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING AND ONE STATED HE HEARD THE NOISE BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THE TRUCK CONTINUE TO MAKE THE NOISE OF A GRINDING AND SHUTTERING SOUND. DID NOT DRIVE BUT TO WORK AND HOME DUE TO THE PROBLEMS. THE NOISE WOULD STOP WHEN THE OVERDRIVE WAS TURNED OFF. LATELY THE TRUCK SOUNDS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING. THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. IT WAS IN A RECALL BUT NISSAN WOULD NOT REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I WAS MAILED THE RECALL AFTER MY MILEAGE WAS TOO HIGH FOR THE REPAIR WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE IF THEY SENT THE NOTICE OUT LATE, WHAT DOES MY MILEAGE HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO REPAIR THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES? COULD NOT REPAIR, THE COST WAS OVER $600. HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING, OVER $400. TIRE GAUGE LIGHT ON. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THIS TRUCK. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT. WHEN DEALING WITH THE NISSAN RECALL PEOPLE I FELT AS THOUGH THEY COULD CARE LESS. WORKING ON A FIXED BUDGET AND UNABLE TO PAY FOR HIGH COST OF REPAIR. WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN THE BIG COMPANIES REFUSE TO REPAIR THEIR TRUCKS AND CARS? I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME. HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THE GAS GAUGE. I HAVE READ OTHER'S COMPLAINTS ON NISSANS AND I AM SURPRISE THAT NO ONE FORCES THEM TO REPAIR THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND WITHOUT THE REPAIRS, I WILL BE RIDING THE BUS.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2007 WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS BEEN SHIMMYING ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE I HIT 60,000 MILES AND IN SPITE OF HAVING MY TIRES RE-ALIGNED AND BALANCED, IT STILL CONTINUES TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH AT SPEEDS OVER 50 MILES AN HOUR. I JUST HIT MY 100,000 MILE MARK ON THE FIRST OF OCTOBER. ON OCTOBER 18TH, I WAS AT MY SON'S DAYCARE AND THE TRUCK STARTED IDLING STRANGELY. THE TRUCK WAS PUTTERING AND EXHAUSTING BLACK SMOKE. IT DIED IN THE PARKING LOT AND I TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES TO GET IT STARTED. IT TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF TRYING BUT I GOT IT RUNNING AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE IT DIE ON ME IN TRAFFIC. ONCE AGAIN, I GOT IT STARTED AND MANAGED TO GET IT HOME WHERE IT COMPLETELY DIED. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER A LOCAL MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND COULDN'T GET IT STARTED) THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD AN ENGINE IDLE AIR CONTROL SENSOR THAT WAS RECALLED BY NISSAN. I NEVER RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE BUT WAS RELIEVED THAT MY BILL WAS COVERED. LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER THE SENSOR HAD BEEN REPLACED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD BURNED OUT. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RESEARCH ONLINE, THE FAILURE OF MY CATALYTIC CONVERTERS IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO AN OUT OF TUNE ENGINE (TOO MUCH AIR OR FUEL) WHICH WAS CAUSED BY THE SENSOR BEING DEFECTIVE.

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.

AT TIMES IT SAYS THAT I HAVE MORE GAS THAN I REALLY DO. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT NISSAN IS SELLING ALL THEIR TRUCKS AND SUV'S WITH FAULTY SYSTEMS. I REPLACED THE FUEL CAP IN HOPES THAT WOULD HELP. *TR

I AM AN OWNER OF 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREWCAB SE. SINCE DAY ONE AT RANDOM WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK IT PUKES GAS OUT ONTO SIDE OF TRUCK, GROUND AND ME. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK WERE JERKS, SAID IT WAS THE PUMP DESIGN AT THE STATION. JUST DISMISSED ME, "TRY ANOTHER STATION." I HAVE SINCE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS A HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

"I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. 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 41K 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

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER 40,000 MI. GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

DEFECT ON LEVEL SENSOR OF THE FUEL TANK, CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND THE FUEL METER TO MALFUNCTION. THIS DEFECT COULD LEAD TO RUN OUT OF GAS AT ANY TIME PUTTING ANY PASSENGER IN DANGER WHILE IN THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN PATH FINDER, FRONTIERS AND MANY OTHERS ESPECIALLY 2005 TO 2007 MODELS. NISSAN DEALERS ARE CHARGING ABOUT 600.00 DOLLARS TO FIX SOMETHING THAT THEY DO DEFECTIVE AND CONTINUE TO DO DEFECTIVELY. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FUEL SENSOR (PART NUMBER 25060-ZS00A) THAT IS ATTACHED GOES BAD AND GIVES INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READINGS. THIS CAN CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE DRIVER IS NOT GIVEN A CORRECT READ OUT OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM TO NISSAN, THEY HAVE A "SERVICE BULLETIN" FOR THE PROBLEM AS OF OCTOBER 4TH, 2007, YET THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM AS IT IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE. I WENT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN LONG BEACH CA (1800 E SPRING ST, SIGNAL HILL, CA' - (562) 426-0333') AND THEY NEEDED $100+ TO BEGIN TO WORK ON MY TRUCK, AND ANOTHER $400+ TO FIX IT. SEEING AS HOW THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY A DOLLAR OUT OF POCKET. I CALLED THE NISSAN CORPORATE NUMBER 1800NISSAN1. THEY INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD STILL HAVE TO PAY THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF I COULD BE REIMBURSED UNTIL AFTER THE REPAIRS ARE MADE, AND MY MONEY ALREADY SPENT. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I DO. ALSO, THE SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP I VISITED WAS ALREADY WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS HE HAD SEEN IT NUMEROUS TIMES IN FRONTIERS HE HAS WORKED WITH. THIS SHOWS THAT NISSAN IS BEING NEGLIGENT WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER XE 4 CYLINDER MANUAL TRANS. AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING UP, AND READ EMPTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY, SOMETIMES READING CORRECTLY WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONING AT APPROXIMATELY HALF TANK, CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEN IT CEASED TO FUNCTION AT ALL WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. NISSAN OF SANTA ROSA TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY Q CERTIFIED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY 100,000 MILES OR 2 YEARS. NISSAN TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND THE SENSOR INSIDE THE GAS TANK NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AT MY CHARGE. ALSO, I CANNOT HAVE MY EVAP EMISSIONS SYSTEM RECALL WORK PERFORMED UNTIL THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM PROBLEM IS FIXED. AS A RESULT I CANNOT COMPLETE MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION FOR THIS YEAR.

THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO WORK AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER BUT THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF FOR THE SES. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND SERVICED ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN SEPT OF 2006 , SO IT IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD BUT SINCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 36,000 MILES I CAN NOT GO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE.

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB STOPPED WORKING RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS UP. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING AND GIVING FALSE READINGS, THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. SINCE THE FUEL SENSOR IS TIED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN A SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER UNTIL THE ITEM WAS REPAIRED. TO REPAIR THIS, THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REMOVED. THIS COST ME 400 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THE UNIT TO BE DEFECTIVE, AS I HAVE BEEN SEEING MORE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASED THIS TRUCK LOGGING THE SAME COMPLAINT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE A FEAR THAT IS THE UNIT IS SHORTING OUT, IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. AFTER ALL, IT SITS ON TOP OF A 20 GALLON FUEL TANK. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! *TR

NISSAN HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD CONSIDERING THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS MISREADING. NISSAN WANTS THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY $450 FOR A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE ON THEIR PART.

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO'S FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, BUT I IGNORED IT BECAUSE I HAD ALLOWED THE WARNING LIGHT TO GO ON AND THOUGHT THAT AFTER A FEW FILL UPS IT WOULD REGISTER CORRECTLY, BUT IT DID NOT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER, ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE, ASKED FOR OVER $400 TO REPAIR, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. NOW I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING THE TANK AFTER EVERY 200 -250 MILES FEARING I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD SUCH AS WHEN I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE TURNPIKE. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS QUIT WORKING FOR THE SECOND TIME WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE FALSE READINGS. NISSAN REPLACED THE UNIT WHEN IT QUIT AT 10000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY BUT, 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 COVING 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. I HAVE BEEN GOING OFF OF THE MILEAGE BECAUSE I KNOW MY VEHICLE WILL DO A LITTLE OVER 400 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS BUT, IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD AT 11:30 AT NIGHT WITH 352 MILES SHOWING. MY GIRLFRIEND ALSO HAS TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND I FEAR HER SAFETY WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SHE COULD GET STUCK IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD OR IN DALLAS, TX TRAFFIC IT IS NOT EASY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM SETS OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION IS OUT. THEY WILL NOT LET THE VEHICLE PASS WITH THIS ON. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER, IT WAS DELIVERED WITH ONLY HALF THE KEYS PROGRAMMED FOR THE VEHICLE, A STRANGE RATTLING OF PLASTIC SHROUDING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND AS I FOUND OUT A FAST SET OF TIRES LATER, THE FRONT END OUT OF ALIGNMENT [ TOO MUCH TOE IN ]. WHEN I READ THE MANUAL I FOUND OUT THAT MY 4WD VEHICLE WAS "NOT INTENDED TO BE USED OFF OF THE ROAD", THIS WAS NOT IN ANY OF THE PRESALES LITERATURE AND THE REASON I BUY 4WD IS SO I CAN USE IT OFF ROAD. AT 100 MILES AFTER WARRANTY I HAD TO TAKE IT IN BECAUSE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED, ABOUT A $600 REPAIR ON A PART THAT SHOULD LAST 200,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THEIR DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING ABOUT ONE OF THESE A WEEK ON A COUPLE OF MODELS. WHEN I PICKED IT UP I GOT THE TROUBLE LIGHT ON THE WAY HOME, I SCANNED IT TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS [CODE PO448 ]. I TOOK IT BACK. THE FIRST CANISTER THEY ORDERED SHOWED UP BROKEN [ KIND OF FRAGILE FOR SOMETHING MOUNTED ON THE BOTTOM OF A 4WD ]. PARTS REPLACED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY WERE 14953ZP50C FILTER-CANISTER, 14950-EA20A CANISTER ASSY. E, AND 14935-AM60B VALVE ASSY.-CO.

AND IN ALL RESPECTS, IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH A DEFECTIVE PART - NOT BECAUSE I DRIVE IT. I AM SORRY I EVER BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE - I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A HONDA ELEMENT (MY WIFE'S CAR) SHE HAS NEVER HAD A MECHANICAL PROBLEM IN THE FOUR YEARS SHE HAS HAD THE CAR. NISSAN MAKES A TRASH PICKUP.

THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE GASOLINE DELIVERY PUMP WAS POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT BECAUSE IT EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR FREE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.
