Fuel leak from top of defective fuel tank (corrosion) confirmed by Nissan 112 patchogue, NY. There was a recall on 2001 Frontiers for the same reason but not on the 2000. I see many other 2000 Frontier owners have the same safety issue and that in most cases Nissan replaced the tank for no charge. I am seeking for them to do the same for my vehicle or recall the 2000 Frontier for this defect.
2000 Nissan Frontier fuel sending unit set off service engine light. This was a recall which was repaired on 6 sept 2007 fuel tank and sending unit were replaced. Vehicle had 62698 miles then. Now fuel sending unit set off service engine light again at 73444 miles. Gas tank corroded around sending unit just 3 years and 11000 miles later. Fuel tank and sending unit were replaced again, at my expense. How was this a fixed recall when Nissan still has the same problem and will not pay for it?.
The fuel gage would read between 1/2 and 1/4 tank. The truck would not pick up fuel in the tank thus the moter would shut off. This occured four time on major highways, ( 58 in calf, 15 in las vegas, 40 in arizona). The truck was in the dealer four times, upon the fifth occurance the potential for loss of life, due to a class 3 accident, is too great. The running out of gas occured in trafic and with tractor trailers behind us. I'm just glad they locked up there brakes and we were not hit and killed. I have a 4 page report if you would like a copy. The general manger of united got a copy,( don forman), the regional mgr (helena)has been informed. Nothing from her or the 1 800 nomber from Nissan. The stress has taken it's marks on us.
