The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Frontier. After filling up the vehicle with gasoline, the contact noticed that the instrument panel light illuminated, which indicated that the vehicle was empty.

Gas gauge reads all over the place, check engine light comes on, won't pass inspection even though it has nothing to do w/emissions. . . . Ran out of gas on I-95 - almost run over.
I have a 2005 Nissan Frontier that has a fault code of po463. Nissan has recalled the 2006-08 vehicles with this faulty fuel level sending unit. 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. Thank you.
Service engine light kept coming on with a fuel sensor message at dealership/auto parts store. Now the fuel gauge isn't working.
Service engine light comes on. Code says it is a bad fuel sensor. It is my understanding this is a problem with Nissan Frontiers.
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.
Common problem. Fuel gauge does not work. After plenty research, I have found out that plenty Frontier and xterra owners are have problem with the fuel sending units failing. Stealership want $400-$500 to fix this. I do not have money for this and don't want to run out of gas again. This should be recalled. They recalled it is austraila on the Nissan navara (same as a Frontier), but I guess it would be too expensive for Nissan to man up, and we will have to pay.
Service engine light comes on whe fuel guage is low. Does not go off after filling.
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. Due to this faulty factory part, I ran out of gas on a six lane highway during rush hour. With all the Nissans on the road, I can imagine many may run out of fuel in less than safe surroundings. Please do a recall!!.
Nissan Frontiers and xterras (and maybe other similar vehicles from Nissan) are having a strong recurring problem with the fuel sending unit sensor going bad and dealerships not covering this part. I have recently experienced this same failure, which has hit everyone I know with a 2005-present Nissan Frontier. Clearly a recall needs to be done, because this is tagging many, many owners for a factory defective part/design.
Service engine light comes on and I check code, code is p0463. Fuel sensor problem.
After filling up my truck the fuel level never took effect and this is very frustrating the dealer wont help and is too expensive to fix out of pocket.
Engine sputters then dies. Check engine light always on. After analysis by a shop, fuel gauge sending unit is found to be defective. Many owners of Nissan trucks/SUV's reporting this defect.
10 months ago my 05 Nissan Frontier had the check engine light come on. Turns out is was the fuel sensor. Now the fuel sensor doesn't work. I have researched this and it is a very common problem for Frontiers, xterras, and pathfinders. I have found literally hundreds of complaints, and Nissan is aware of the problem, yet still no recall. In addition to the $90 diagnostic, we are being quoted $400 to have it repaired. This is a serious concern because the fuel gauge will work fine ofr a while, then get stuck, making it impossible to know how much fuel you have. I have been stranded twice on the interstate.
2005 Frontier fuel sending unit messed up. . . Not reading properly. . . Only 50,000 on vehicle.
Fuel level sensor failure on a 3 year old truck. Nissan dealership to be contacted soon.
Fuel level sensor causing "check engine soon" light to come on. Apparently many similar issues being reported. 2005 Nissan Frontier w/ 50k miles.
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!.
2005 Nissan Frontier nismo 4x4, 4 liter. Check engine illuminated. Intermittent function of fuel gauge , , dtc p0463, same chassis and electrical as pathfinder. Several similar complaints for pathfinder.
Fuel door closing spring designed poorly causing fuel door to open and expose filler neck. The spring is designed to keep the door closed but the way the spring is attached to the door allows it to pop off and expose the filler neck.
