Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problems of the 2007 Nissan Frontier

Tl the contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that the fuel gauge did not reflect the actual amount of fuel in the tank. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the fuel level sending unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000.

Fuel gage indicated that I had a bit less than 1/2 tank of fuel. Run out of fuel as the fuel sending unit was displaying the wrong amount of fuel shortly after that the service engine light came on. Took the vehicle to a repair shop was diagnosed with a p0463 code defective fuel sending unit. Called Nissan of north America for support was told that I needed to take the vehicle to a dealer in order for Nissan to honor the warranty. Spent $106 dollars the first time at the shop and then $104 at the local Nissan dealership. After several calls to Nissan north America customer affairs I was told that the fuel sending unit is not covered, this is the same issue that thousands of people are experiencing how can it be possible that my vehicle is not covered, it only has 33k miles. . . This is a larger issue that needs attention by NHTSA as there has been documented accidents from people running out of fuel on the freeway. I've run out of fuel 3 times in the past 3 months as I deal with Nissan to see if they can do anything about my issue.

While driving on city street fuel guage reading over 1/4 tank went to make a lane change vehicle started to cut out service engine light came on then the vehicle went completely dead making it difficult to steer or brake or pull to the side of the road out of traffic. Had the vehicle checked and was advised after he read the code that the fuel sensor was faulty giving a false reading on the amount of fuel remaining in the tank and that he had heard of a Nissan recall on the fuel sensor. After I put more fuel in my vehicle it started right up but service engine light stayed on. Contacted Nissan customer service about the problem and was advised that some 2007 Nissan Frontiers and other model of that year had simular issues but my vehicle was not covered for that problem.

The fuel gauge has issues with proper amount of fuel in tank. The service engine light on with a po0643 code. The 2006 and 2008 models are covered by a recall, but not the 2007 for the same exact problem with the same parts being used. Something must be done!.
