Fuel gauge reads half tank when actually empty. Very dangerous. Ran out of gas on a major interstate that was 3 lanes wide. I was in the far left lane when engine stopped. Power steering and brakes go to manual when engine stops. Had to maneuver to the shoulder across 2 lanes to the right with no power steering and no power brakes while vehicle was quickly losing speed. Nearly was hit several times while changing lanes. Vehicle had slowed to about 25 mph. When semi must have figured I had no power and stayed behind me blocking two lanes so I could get to the shoulder. Probably saved my life and prevented a very serious accident. This unreliable fuel gauge problem should be recalled regardless of age of vehicle before someone is killed or seriously injured.
The gas gauge mostly shows empty on a full tank of gas and the fuel light on the dash stays lit. The diagnostic reads p0463, which is a fuel level sensor high input circuit a. Sometimes the fuel gauge will read differently as the tank gets closer to empty. I bought this truck used and this was the issue at the time of purchase so I'm not sure when this began.
Safety recall fuel sensor sending unit - our vehicle is in impeccable shape and garaged with 53,000 miles - warranty/recall on issue. Nissan will not fix this safety issue. Fuel sensor malfunction. Also happened on our 2006 Nissan pathfinder and was covered. Full tank of gas reads empty.
Fuel gauge readings inaccurate. Gauge reads that there is approximately 1/4 tank of fuel when in fact the tank is close to or completely empty.
Nissan Frontier 2005 truck: fuel tank sending unit started showing variable fuel levels, fluctuating wildly, then completely stopped functioning. This after some 75,000 miles. No prior warning. No extreme use conditions, just normal everyday driving on this vehicle. Dealer refused replacement because it was over 75,000 miles.
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 .
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that fuel level sensor failed and would not read when the fuel tank was full or empty. The failure was experienced several times and caused the vehicle to stall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 120,000 and the current mileage was 131,000.
Service engine soon led illuminated after starting vehicle. Checked code is p0463 fuel level sensor a circuit high input. Fuel level guage is not accurate. Driver does not know when fuel tank is empty. Should be a recall.
Fuel sensor will show 1/4 tank of gasoline and low fuel light will come on and gauge will show empty shortly after.
Service engine soon light came on and the fuel gauge started going wacky and ultimately showed empty eventhough I had 1/2 tank of gas. Light would not go out, so I researched the issue on the internet and found that it is a known issue on my Nissan truck. There is even a service bulletin out on it. So, off I went and took it into my Nissan service department and they said the code p0463 was a fuel sensing unit that they would repair for over $350. I see this as a safety issue, since my wife drives the truck and if she is unable to correctly determine how much fuel is in the truck she runs the risk of running out of gas in traffic or maybe even in an unsafe neighborhood.
Nissan Frontier 2005 47,000 miles throwing error code p0463 (fuel level sensor malfunction). As a result, there is no way to know how much fuel is left in the tank. This is dangerous for traveling on the interstate and for fill-ups.
2005 Nissan Frontier showing error code p0463, which means faulty fuel level sensor. Driving along as normal. Stopped to fill up. After loading 18 gallons in the tank the fuel gauge did not move. After driving a bit the gauge registered full and the check engine soon light stays lit and the fuel register is unreliable.
I own a 2005 Nissan Frontier that has been a good truck other than one problem. The check engine light is on. Fuel gauge stays at empty after tank is filled, then slowly rises to full over the course of a couple of days. Dte gauge alternates between correct reading, a reading that is not possible, and ----. Mileage is just over 50,000, and there are no other indications of problems. I have not done anything to correct the problem at this time.
