Tank Assembly problems of the 2007 Nissan Frontier - part 1

After filling up my gas tank, the fuel gauge stayed on empty when I started my 2007 Frontier. As I was driving along the highway, the gauge slowly moved to the full position (roughly an hour after fill-up) yesterday, 7/14/13 I filled up- thinking the previous incident was a fluke. This time the check engine light came on(still on) and the gauge is only at half a tank. The local Nissan dealer quoted me $500. 00 to fix the issue ,and told me that 72,000 miles was the cut-off for the warranty again, it has 85,000 miles on it.

The check engine light came on while starting the truck. It was place on the diagnostic machine and the result was that a sensor in the gas tank was not working. I received a recall notice one week after the warranty had expired. The notice stated that the warranty would take care of the problem. I emailed Nissan to complain and never heard from them.

At 7600 miles I hear a noise on the engine and check engine lights came on and gas gauge star reading empty went was full I took to the dealer they told me the noise was coming from some where in the engine they never told me was timing,chain,I took to a local repair shop and they found out that timing chain was the problem ,the check engine light at the dealer told me the was the that the reason for the gas tank read empty was t due a gas module.

After filling with fuel on 12/2/2011, the fuel gauge was hung at about 1/4 tank. I drove approximately 75 miles before the fuel gauge was registering near full. On 12/8/2011, I filled the tank with fuel, and upon starting the engine the fuel gauge read "empty" and the fuel light was on. I drove approximately 85 miles, but the fuel gauge remained on empty with the fuel light on. On 12/9/2011, I contacted Nissan consumer affairs concerning the recall on this model of vehicle and I was told that my VIN was not included in the recall. However, Nissan did open a file number (7327001) and it is being forwarded to a regional specialist for review, but am told it is unlikely that the fuel sending unit will be covered. There is apparently a problem with the fuel sending unit, as Nissan had extended the warranty on this component to 72,000 miles, but am told that unfortunately I have exceeded the warranty period. I was also told that I would have to take my vehicle to a Nissan dealer for diagnosis, at my expense, and no certainty if Nissan will stand good for the defective part. So the dealer can charge me approximately $120. 00 to me what I already know? I would consider this a highway safety issue; not knowing if you are getting an accurate fuel quantity reading, and the possibility of being stranded.

I pulled into the gas station and filled up like I normally do. When I started my engine, my gas gauge did not climb past the 1/4 mark. I turned my truck on and off 2 more times to see if this might fix the problem, it did not. As I drove home, the gauge climbed ever so slowly before stopping at 1/2 tank. This is when the check engine light came on. I got home and googled the problem and this seems to be a fairly common problem. What I don't understand is why the 06 and 08 models are recalled but not the 07. I refuse to take it to my local dealership because I have always had less then stellar service and just refuse to deal with them and be forced to overpay.

I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. I went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. After returning home and doing research, I went online to x. Nissanhelp. Com after performing a search, I came across many others who have experienced the same problem. Apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. A similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger. It seems that somthing in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. There is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 2 yrs and with around 39k-49k. If this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, Frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. Cost of repair ranges from $300-600. ".

Filled up gas tank gauge would not move then my service engine light came on.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, the fuel level indicator would display the tank as empty. In addition, when the fuel tank was full, the fuel level indicator would only display one quarter a tank of fuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was working on diagnosing the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000. The VIN was not available.

The fuel guage malfunctioned it would indicate that it was empty eventhough the tank was full. I talked to service manager, he says that Nissan would not cover repair because it was not a recall item. Nissan did have a recall on the same item for the 2006 and 2008 models. They could not explain why the 2007 models were not included.

Service engine soon (ses) light is on constantly. Fuel system reads erratic levels - when it reaches approx 1/4 to 3/8 of a tank, the fuel gauge drops to the bottom and the light comes on, as though the tank were empty. The truck reports p0463 code.

I was driving home on the expressway hwy 75 south downtown atlanta GA and all of a sudden my truck just stopped running. I manage to cost to the side of the expressway. After several attempts to restart the truck I called for help. Had the truck town to a local shop only to find out that it ran out of gas. The culprit a faulty fuel gauge a known issue with the 2007 Frontier models. I contacted Nissan to have it replace but I was told that since I was over 72000 miles that I would have to replace it the cost to me. I will never buy another Nissan as long as I live I almost got ran over trying to get the truck to the side of the roadway. My fuel gauge was reading 1/2 of tank of gas. This should be a safety recall. I know that it will not be considered one until someone is killed as a result of this issue and this is very sad especially since Nissan has known about the issue since day one.

I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier, and the gas tank sensor failed like so many others from 2005 to 2010. I ran out of gas the first time and it stopped so suddenly I almost got rear ended. I called Nissan and they said that my VIN number doesn't fall in the recall list. I am on forums and everyone is having issues with this but they are only picking a few to fix. This is wrong. Anyways now when I fill it up it goes to empty and the light comes on and the check engine light lights. Then after 30 or so miles it ever so slowly starts to climb until it is full. Then for no reason it will go empty again. It keeps going through this cycle.

I am having an issue with the fuel gauge on my 2007 Nissan Frontier king cab. First off when my tank would get to just under a quarter my check engine light would come on and I would have to disconnect and reconnect the battery to make the light go away. Now my gauge reads empty on a full tank of gas and the low fuel light and check engine light are on. This first happened right after filling my gas tank up all the way a few days ago. Gauge is stuck a empty and lights will not go away.

I own a 2007 Nissan Frontier se 4x4 crew cab pickup. I purchased the aforementioned vehicle new in 2007. Recently the "service engine soon" warning light came on. Shortly after the warning light came on I began to notice my fuel gauge needle dropping to empty or near empty when I knew I had at least 1/4 tank of gasoline. If I shut the engine off and started it back up the fuel gauge needle would indicate 1/4 tank, and then shortly afterward drop to empty or near empty. I did some research and found out that this problem seems to be very common and should warrant a recall. My vehicle has approximately 45,800 miles on it. In my opinion running out of fuel or being distracted by a malfunctioning fuel gauge could lead to an accident. I request that this problem is investigated and a recall is initiated immediately. Thank you for reading this.

Fuel gauge showed that I had a quarter tank but I ran out of gas. Went to station and filled up and gauge still showed 1/4 tank. On 8/2, gauge finally reported that I had 3/4 tank of gas which was probably close to what was in my tank. In doing some research, it appears this is a common problem for Nissan Frontiers, but my year (2007) does not show up in the recall database.

On or about 7-15-10, I filled the fuel tank in my 2007 Nissan Frontier se crew cab to capacity. Within seconds of starting and driving the vehicle afterwards, the "service engine" warning light came on and my fuel gauge indicator dropped to the half-full mark. It has been erratic since that event and has not properly indicated how much fuel remains in the tank. On 7-16-10, I took the vehicle to the dealer from which it was purchased. Their service department diagnosed the problem and advised the vehicle needed a new fuel sending unit. They also advised that there was no recall on that part, although there was a recall on that part for the Nissan titan. Through research, I have discovered that Nissan has had previous recalls on fuel sending units on other model years and vehicles, and many owners have posted the similar problem online, specifically regarding the fuel sending unit on the 2007 Nissan Frontier. Nissan is at this time unwilling to repair the problem at their cost, which I find frustrating as it is an obvious part problem. My concern is that an inaccurate fuel level reading caused by this faulty unit could lead to a stalled vehicle in traffic, posing a considerable safety risk.

Gas gauge stuck on 1/4 tank.

I had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. After filling up my gas tank, I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. I went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. After returning home and doing research, I went online to x. Nissanhelp. Com after performing a search, I came across many others who have experienced the same problem.

Cost of repair ranges from $300-600. ".

Drove the truck with the low fuel warning light on for several miles. Upon filling up the tank, the low fuel light remained on and needle showed empty. Shortly afterward, the service engine light came on. Mil code is p0463 - fuel level sensor problem. Resetting the code works for a few days but then the mil light comes back on. The gas gauge is erratic, sometimes showing empty when it's not. So we have to track the approximate fuel remaining by using the trip odometer.

Nissan has recalled 2006 and 2008 Frontier for gas tank sending units which would show 1/4 tank of fuel but empty,2007's are having this problem but Nissan is refusing to recall them.

Fuel gauge in 2007 Nissan Frontier. . . . One minute I have a full tank next its empty. Fill the truck up and gauge says I'm only 1/4 full. I see there was a recall for the 2006 and 2008 for the same reason. Did they make a change for 2007 then went back to the old way in 2008. Dealership is saying the part alone is $540 bucks and recall does not cover the 2007 models.

I have a Nissan 2007 Frontier that I bought new back in Nov. 2007. This vehicle has a bad gas pump sensor that make a warning on the panel( engine problem ) because of this problem I am unable to read how much gas is left. It always mark the tank as empty. When I took it to the dealer, they stated that because my car VIN# was not on the recalls I could do anything. I am unable to travel interstate or long distances.

After filling gas tank: the fuel gauge immediately registered "empty" and continued reading same. Current to date, no changes in reading. Its' consequences are on-going that a serious incident could occur on the highway by running out of fuel, loosing control of the vehicle. This is a current failure, and has not had repaired or replaced. Should be a manufacturer's recall for repairs. Faulty, and could be unsafe.

After filling up the gas tank, the gas gauge does not work. It will either read empty or have an erratic reading. Nissan had a recall for these units for 2006, 2008, and 2009, but not 2007, which is the year of my Nissan Frontier. My unit failed just like the recalled units, but Nissan will not replace this obviously defective unit. The dealer will not replace the unit because it is 3 months out of warranty.

I own a 2007 Nissan Frontier le. The fuel gauge sticks at 1/4 tank when the fuel level is low even though the tank is nearly empty. When refilling the tank the gauge stayed at 1/4 tank for a couple of miles before it came back to full. As of the last fill up the gauge is still reading 1/4. Also the service engine soon light is lit. I have read about recall involving the fuel gauge for 2006 and 2008 Frontiers and contacted Nissan consumer affairs. They informed me that my 2007 is not part of the recall. I've read numerous accounts of 2007 models having the same problems as the 2006 and 2008 models so I am very displeased that Nissan is not including 2007s. It seems to be such a common problem that I should not have to pay to have it fixed. There is clearly a fault in the part or design.

The fuel gauge on my 2007 Nissan Frontier has also stopped working correctly. As with others that have reported this issue, upon filling the tank the gauge will read empty and then during the drive it acts erratically and sometimes it will read correctly one minute and the next thing you know it's on empty again. Its very frustrating to know this was a recall in other years yet Nissan won't man up and fix these issues. I won't buy another Nissan because of the way they are handling this or should I say not handling this. It's a safety issue if you run out of gas when your gauge is obviously faulty and telling you there's fuel in the vehicle.

Yesterday morning the fuel gauge in my 2007 Nissan Frontier 4 x 4 (approximately 46,000 miles) appeared to work normally when it showed perhaps 30 miles left to drive before empty. It took almost 20 gallons to fill it up. After filling up fully, the fuel gauge showed about a quarter of a tank and the "service engine soon" light came on. Today the fuel gauge shows about 5/8ths of a tank left, with my having driven about 10 miles since filling up. It seems the 2007 Nissan Frontiers have the same problem as the 2006 and 2008 models that are being recalled. Unless Nissan changed parts or design in 2007, it makes no sense why the fuel gauge problem of 2006 should have skipped 2007 and reappeared in 2008! (with regard to my truck, nothing has been done to correct the fuel gauge failure. The problem looks to be persistent, and the safety issue of running out of gas in traffic is the same as for the to-be-recalled 2006 and 2008 models).

2007 Nissan Frontier fuel sensor gauge not working properly. Vehicle gauge shows empty, check engine light comes on and low fuel light, all this with plenty of gas in tank. Sometimes fuel gauge will show 3/4 full and after gauge gets around 1/2 full, the gauge will drop to empty. Never sure how much fuel is in tank. Would not want to run out of gas and cause a crash. Nissan has recalls for the 2006 and 2008 Frontier for the same issue. Nissan offered me $250. 00 towards the repairs at their dealership. I am not sure why the 2007 model's are not included in the recalls. Nissan is obviously aware of other year vehicles with the same problem and do not want to fix their defect at no charge to the customer.

I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier xe. I had about 1/4 tank of gas when I decided to fill it up. Started my truck and my gas gauge read 0 and my check engine light came on. After driving a while, my gas gauge started to read a little level. As I drove the level would come up slowly until it finally read a full tank. After this happened to me, I heard about a recall Nissan was issuing on vehicles with the same symptoms, all due to a faulty fuel level sending unit called Nissan to see if my truck qualified for the recall fuel level sending unit and it didn't. Nissan customer service told me to take the truck into the dealership to get a diagnostic test run to check and see if indeed the fuel level sending unit need repair. The test the dealership ran did indeed confirm that the fuel level sending unit was faulty. Nissan told me they would log my complaint but would not pay to fix it because my truck wasn't cover under the recall even though my truck has the same problem as the other recalled vehicles.

I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier. Recently, when I would fill up the gas tank, the gas gauge would not move and the check engine light would come on. After traveling for about 30-45 minutes, the gas gauge would move up to full, but the check engine light would stay on. I can disconnect the battery, and the gas gauge works correctly and the check engine light goes out. All is normal until I fill up the gas tank again, and same problem. I went today to get my nc vehicle inspection, and it failed due to the check engine light, and when they put the obdii tester on, it gave them a p0463 code. After reading all the comments on the internet, it seems it is a common problem with Nissan's. It should be covered by Nissan, as they have done for other models with the same problem.

Filled up at gas station. Fuel gauge continued reading 1/4 tank. 10 miles later it was at 1/2. In another 30 minutes of driving it was at full. Later that night, the service enigine soon light came on and stayed on.

Had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. After filling up my gas tank, I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on.

At about 41,000 miles, just outside of warranty, fuel gauge stopped working after I filled gas tank up. It will occasionally work now but not all the way. Now I can not trust the fuel gauge. Nissan shop employees said this is a common problem. It is a fuel gauge sensor and will cost over 500 dollars to repair. I have found numerous complaints about this on the internet. This is a major safety issue. If I was traveling with my family and ran out gas at night on the highway, anything could happen before I got help.

I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier with 41000 miles on it. At 39000 miles the fuel gauge started malfunctioning and the check engine light came on. When I fill up with gasoline, the fuel gauge remains at empty with the empty gas tank light on. Occasionally the gauge kicks up but dies down again. On 9/9/09 I took the car to the Nissan dealership and they diagnosed the problem as fuel gauge sensor needs replacement. They wanted over $500 fix the problem. I have seen a lot of complains on the internet about this and so I called Nissan consumer affairs and they promised to look into a "goodwill" repair of the problem. However they called me today to say they will not pay for the part to be replaced. This problem, I never know how much fuel I have in the tank and I just keep filling it up every couple of days. I am afraid the gasoline will ran out when on the roadside and put me and my family in danger of an accident or burglary or worse.
