A few weeks ago I noticed that the fuel gauge on my truck would drop to empty and the low fuel indicator light would turn on immediately after filling up. After I drove around a few miles, the fuel gauge would go back up to it's normal level. However, over the course of the last few weeks it has gotten worse and worse to the point where it almost always reads empty. After looking online, I found that there was a recall on my year, make, and model for faulty fuel sensors (NHTSA campaign #10v075000). However, after calling Nissan and providing them with my VIN, they informed me that my truck was not part of the recall. After researching this online, I've found that many, many people are in the same situation as me. Some have even been told by the Nissan repair mechanics who fixed their vehicles that it was caused by the same defect, but there was nothing they could do because the VIN wasn't included in the reported batch, or that that the extended warranty for this defect had already expired. This is outrageous. I walk to work almost every day so the mileage on my Frontier is fairly low. I'm just over 50,000 miles since I purchased the truck in 2006, but I'm still affected by this serious defect. This is a potentially dangerous defect. It is not right that I, and every body else who is affected but not "covered", should have to pay the high price for the repair.

Fuel sender issue was causing the fuel gauge to not work properly. I did some research and found that there had been a recall for this issue (10v-075) and my vehicle appears to be covered as it was built in January 2006. The dearlership said that my vehicle was not covered under the recall. I could not understand why it wasn't covered as my issue was exactly what the recall was for, but I needed it fixed so I paid a total of $476. 67. I called Nissan consumer affairs dept. And opened a case (1121397) and they asked me to submit the bill I paid at the dearlership, which I did, but now when I call the check on the status they don't answer. Voicemails are not returned so I don't know what is going on. Can you help??.

Sensor for the fuel pressure sets off "check engine soon" light. This sensor is tied in with the fuel gauge,leaving the driver with inaccurate fuel readings!.

I have a Nissan Frontier that has had failed in a number of things which are not wear and tear. They are design flaws. The fuel gauge module. The radiator/transmission leak flaw. Because of the design of the radiator, now a perfectly working tranny needs rebuilt. I also hear the tensioner for the timing chain is a defective design. My Frontier began falling apart before the 100. 000 miles with design flaws. Nissan never again. A simple warning letter that my radiator needed a $300 repair would have saved me $4,000 later and not leave me stranded in traffic.

I purchased a 2006 Nissan Frontier crew cab se 4x4 new in 2006. I have driven the vehicle less than moderately and currently have 44,000 miles on the vehicle. The check engine light recently displayed and I took the vehicle to the dealership. I was advised the fuel sending unit needed replaced and was going to cost roughly $600. 00. I was upset with the price, however, did not have any other choice but to pay for the repair. I have decided to wait until I have the funds for such a repair. While researching this issue, I have come to learn through various repair sites on-line and word of mouth from other Nissan owners that this is an extremely common issue with this model year Nissan. Vehicles including but not limited to Frontier, x-terra and "z". I do not understand why a recall on this expensive piece has not been issued, due to the price and obvious manufacture default in the quality. This seems to be an issue with this model vehicle since 2008. I recently have had other service work performed on my vehicle, and if not for a friend with a code reader, would have paid dearly for service replacements at the dealership, due to the dealership not advising me of the recall on these issues. I have owned several new vehicles over the years, many different brands, but have never had the issues that I am having with the Nissan brand before. The fuel gauge issue should be a manufacture default and likewise should be recalled and replaced at no expense to the consumer. Thank you for your time.

2006 Nissan Frontier fuel gauge problem. Went to fill up gas on 9/20/09 and fuel gauge is at empty after fill up. Service engine light is on.

My fuel gauge registered empty so a went to put gas in and it was nearly full. They told me I needed a battery. I was under warranty at the time. Now out of warranty and 3 batteries later, my gauge is broke again. I have sent emails and letters to Nissan and get no reply. I will probably never buy another Nissan as much as I do like this truck.
