Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problems of the 2006 Nissan Frontier

Shortly after purchasing the vehicle used in late December 2014. I was receiving a p0463 code the gas gauge randomly started dropping to below empty and the light would go on just after filling up the tank (full). The gauge stays at empty with the light on all the time until it reaches around 1/4 tank or less and will go down sometimes until empty again. However it has run out of gas on me multiple times in intersections when it says I have 1/4 or 1/8th tank which leads to a major safety concern. I am forced to use the trip meter all the time while driving my vehicle. This is directly related to the fuel sending unit issue that has affected all other 2006 Frontiers (and other years as well). Although Nissan only replaced 'some' it is the same part and issue that has affected all Frontiers that have had this issue. Why mine is not covered I am not sure but it has put my vehicle and any occupants in it in danger and is a costly repair due to a manufacturer defect. An auto repair store said the whole fuel pump unit needs to be replaced but the vehicle is my daily driver so I have had to drive it in this condition for a year now never knowing if it will run out on me while driving at speed.

After filling gas tank it drops to empty and service engine light comes on. After driving some distance (not many miles) it goes back up and then seems to work until next fill up. It is a constant problem and I never know how much gas I have other than tracking mileage. Recall many others with same problem.

Back in November, 2009, I stopped to fill up my 2006 Nissan 4x4 Frontier extended cab pickup truck with gas. After filling tank, started the engine and put truck in gear to pull out of gas station and the gas gauge e (empty) light came on and check engine light came on and stays on till this day. I took it to a dealer to find out problem why gas gage quit working on my 51,000 mile truck at the time and they wanted to charge me $600. 00 to replace the fuel level sending unit which is inside the fuel tank. Of course I haven't had the money to get it fixed. I never know how much gas I have because the gage is not working. I ran out of gas 1 time, luckily while I was strolling in to a gas station. I have since found out Nissan will be implementing a recall on certain models year 2006 & 2008 Frontier pickups, xterra and pathfinder vehicles. The problem that the recall states was the molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash, which came close to happening to me two days ago. I called Nissan regarding a recall notice I found out on the internet, recalling these vehicles manufactured from 01/23/2006 to 3/16/2006. Mine was manufactured 06/2006 and I was told my VIN number did not show up on their recall database list. My complaint, my truck has the same defective part, I'm driving under dangerous conditions, I need Nissan to stand behind their products and replace this part with no charge to me, the consumer. I'm taking a chance every time I drive this truck in the gas running out, and my vehicle stalling on the major interstate causing crash, injury, possibly death. I want my vehicle repaired now, not have to wait until my VIN no. Shows up on a recall list.
