Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge problems of the 2007 Nissan Frontier

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. While driving approximately 40 mph, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle stalled. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and waited a few minutes. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel gauge sensor failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,077.

Fuel gauge operating erratic showing empty when I fill up and the low fuel light coming on then after driving it shows a different reading. I don't know how much gas is in it at any time because gauge not working correctly.

My 2007 Nissan Frontier crew cab has 107k miles and for unknown reasons the airbag light will not reset. This is unsafe because the airbags may not work in an accident. Also the fuel gauge is malfunctioning.

Fuel gauge states 1/4th full when it is empty. Check engine light comes on and states faulty fuel level sensor. Code p0463.

Fuel gauge sporadically measures incorrectly. Check engine light comes on when readings are incorrect, then goes off. Both while stationary or driving, on a mix of city and highway driving. . Read more...

Fuel gauge erratic. Check engine light on. I filled truck w gas & was driving on hwy 160 & noticed fuel gauge light on & gauge on empty. There have been recalls for trucks like mine for fuel level sensor sending unit.

Fuel gauge dropped from full to below empty and check engine light came on. Diagnosed with p0463 error code, fuel sensor unit malfunction. It appears that Nissan has replaced the unit on 2006 & 2008 units, but for some reason failed to address the 2007 model year. Vehicle has 54k miles. This could create safety issue if someone runs out of fuel during heavy traffic.

While driving fuel gauge suddenly dropped to empty and caused service engine warning light to come on. This has happened on 5 occasions. Problem seems related to that addressed by NHTSA campaign # 10v075000 for 2006 and 2008 Nissan Frontiers although the 2007 Frontier is not addressed in this campaign.

Never received recall notice for fuel gauge sender unit/float problem - dealer/Nissan will not honor older recall so they say I must pay for repair.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. While driving at various speeds, the fuel gauge would indicated there was low fuel in the vehicle and would register the incorrect amount of fuel on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sending unit failed and needed to be replaced. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.

Nissan sold me a new truck with a design flaw, a faulty fuel sending unit. Nissan consumer affairs said I have to take the truck with the design flaw (e. G. Failed fuel sending unit) to a Nissan dealer and pay to have it diagnosed (though the problem is already known to me as being the design flaw of a failed fuel sending unit) after which they would investigate to see if they can provide assistance to repair it though they admitted after checking my VIN they are not aware of any instance that would cover the repair (e. G. They are not going to repair it). The bottom line is I purchased a new Nissan Frontier which I had maintained by a local mechanic (not a Nissan dealership) and it came with a design flaw (e. G. Fuel sending unit) that they want me to pay over a hundred dollars to have diagnosed at one of their dealerships after which they aren't going to fix it for me (despite the face saving act of Nissan consumer affairs). Nissan displayed zero integrity in failing to diagnose and pay to have the design flaw repaired, in my opinion, at their cost. Furthermore, the policy they developed to "save face" is disingenuous in my estimation and designed only to increase their profit further. I'm a low income worker who will drive around with a fuel gauge that doesn't work and the service engine light on because I can't pay the hundreds and hundreds of dollars that it would cost to have a design flaw diagnosed at a Nissan dealership afterwards paying to repair it myself because Nissan isn't going to.

My 2007 Nissan Frontier is experiencing what many other Frontier truck owner are experiencing. . . The dreaded inaccurate fuel gauge readings along with the check engine light. I am blown away that Nissan has not had the courage to order a recall on this well known issue. Hopefully this will not result in a number of fatalities before they "do the right thing". Very unfortunate and a poor form of customer service for owners who will most likely seek a different brand as there next purchase.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, the fuel gauge indicated the incorrect reading levels and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic diagnosed that the fuel sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000. Djr.

Fuel gauge fails to register proper amount of fuel, triggers check engine light (mil) and reports trouble code showing open circuit in fuel sensor system. This failure requires me to watch mileage by using trip odometer to monitor when to purchase fuel. Could also cause failure of emissions test as check engine light is on. This would be an unnecessary financial burden to fix as well as having a failure of the emissions test based on the fuel sending unit not functioning properly and not from excessive emissions or other emissions control parts. Emissions tests are $50-70 per attempt with dyno runs. Estimated cost of repair is $5-750. 00 for labor and materials. Vehicle was purchased new 7/07 with 50 miles on it as it was delivered from another dealership. Currently has 61,000 miles. Vehicle runs perfect otherwise. Would like Nissan to at least send the replacement part (@ $250).

I was told that my vehicle does not have a recall due to the VIN but yet when I went on the safecar. Gov website and the issue's that I am having with my truck is what is on the list. What I don't understand why the place that I get it repair will not honor this. I have the abs/vdc wheel speed sensor and the fuel gauge issues.

My wife ran out of fuel on the road while driving our 2007 Nissan Frontier. . Read more...

Fuel gauge not working properly. I brought the truck to dealer and they determined it was due to faulty fuel level sensor sending unit. Cost: $511 this should be a recall since it is a safety issue in that I could run out of gas on the highway and possibly become involved in a collision.

Nissan extended a limited warranty for a fuel gauge sending unit which displays incorrect amount of fuel. My Nissan has passed the year of extended warranty not the miles. So Nissan failed my "hardship request" that they sent my case through. Though I did not have any problems with the fuel sending unit until after the warranty expired, Nissan's decision was to deny my fix. I don't see how I can report a problem if it has not occurred. The Nissan official told me over the phone that I had not spent enough money at the dealer ship/has not had my vehicle serviced there enough though my vehicle was there times before and I had maintenance performed at another qualified service center.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the service engine warning light illuminated as the fuel gauge displayed a false reading.

Check engine light on and fuel gauge inoperative. Will not pass smog as sending unit default. Ran out of gas on highway. Have been using mileage indicator to fill up.

My ses (service engine soon) light has been on for weeks now, the fuel gauge has been completely erratic. I am really worried that I will run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, or run out of fuel and not know and get hit on the freeway! Nissan has a service bulletin out about this very issue but still refuses to do a recall on what they admit is a bad sensor. I have had this diagnosed for free at aamco,(p0463 is the code) Nissan refuses to accept this and wants me to pay them 100. 00+ to let them diagnose what I already know!.
