Check engine light is illuminated due to faulty fuel sending unit. The fuel sending unit controls the vehicle fuel gauge and provides information to run on board emissions diagnostics. Dealerships refuse to cover the repair under warranty. Consumers are unable to register a vehicle when the check engine light is on because the vehicle will not pass a smog test. Safety becomes an issue due to the fuel gauge not accurately providing the correct level of fuel in the tank. A recall has already issued for a similar fuel issue on this vehicle - I believe the fix requires replacement of the fuel pump and includes the fuel sending unit.
2006 Frontier xe gas gauge registers wrong amt. Or does not work period. This is the 3rd. Fuel pump and sensor unit installed in this vehicle! I will not replace this part ror the fourth time! I guess someone will have to be injured or killed, when they run out of gas on the interstate, for an attorney to brings a class action suit against Nissan and question NHTSA as to why the agency has not taken action .
