My trucks fuel gauge does not register, I understand there was a recall. So I called 2 dealers they told me that my VIN/truck is not covered. But what I've seen is that it is an accident waiting to happen. It does it all the time, parked, on the streets or freeway which I drive daily for work. No injury, crash or fatality yet. I love my truck, work in a level 1 trauma center, I see many car accident victim's when it could have been avoided, like with me now. Please help me I would be forever grateful!! I pray Nissan will do what is right!!.
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.
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, he noticed that the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate reading. The failure recurred twice. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who stated that the fuel gauge sending unit would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
After filling truck up with gas the fuel gauge did not register full. After driving a few miles down the road the check engine light came on and the gas gauge went to empty. Mechanic checked the the check engine code, which was a fuel sensor error. The mechanic reset the check engine. After several miles the gas gauge started working again. It has been this way for six months now. Every time I fill my truck up with gas it does not register full. A few miles later the gas gauge goes to empty and the check engine light comes on. After several miles (varies from approximately 20 to 100 miles) the fuel gauge starts working again. Sometimes it not a matter of miles but time. Fill my truck up, gas gauge goes to empty, park my truck at the airport for a few days and when I get back the fuel gauge works.
Received warranty extension letter from Nissan on my 2005 Nissan Frontier regarding an issue with the fuel sending unit which has caused my fuel gauge to inaccurately display the amount of fuel in my vehicle. Like all other owners my warranty has expired! when I purchased the vehicle it already had around 70,000 miles and that was in 2007. I just recieved the notice from Nissan within the last month of 2010. The ntsa should investigate this matter and demand a nationwide recall on this item from Nissan. This is clearly a safety issue for Nissan owners and obviously a defective part! it is pretty clear that Nissan realized there was a problem and decided the least costly response would be to extend the warranty on this model vehicle, knowing fully well that most owners would not qualify for the extended warranty protection. I urge all owners of this model Nissan to first and foremost file a complaint with ntsa and also call your elected representatives and see if they will investigate this matter. In addition I urge all owners of Nissan automobiles to refuse to buy any additional vehicles from Nissan. In addition please let your friends know that while Nissan talks a good game, the bottom line is they don't back their product!!!! at this point Nissan refused to replace item free of cost and I have not had the item replaced yet due to the cost involved. Nissan refused to fix item under warranty, stating my vehicle is out of warranty! this is absured and the government should step in and help consumers with this matter.
