Tank Assembly problems of the 2007 Nissan Frontier - part 2

2007 Nissan Frontier nismo faulty gas sensor in tank. Known recall on 2006 and 2008 models. Shows an empty tank when full and empty. Unless you are keeping up with mileage, you don't know if you will run out of gas on the freeway. This can cause accidents. Nissan is aware of the same issue in 2006 and 2008 Frontier trucks. For some reason, they will not assume responsibility for the 2007 models. I talked with the dealer and they are aware of the issue but cannot take care of the problem. It will cost me over $500 to replace this. My check engine light stays on, can't be reset until this is fixed.

Fuel sensing unit on my '07 Frontier went out. Though I'm reading many reports now of fuel gauges that don't rise to "full" at fill-up, mine was the opposite. After a few episodes of "check engine" light coming on, then clearing itself, I was heading down highway in the center lane during rush hour. Though my gauge said 1/4 tank,in fact I was out of gas, lost power, and had to coast as I made my way in heavy traffic over to the shoulder. It wouldn't start til a buddy brought a can of gas, then it started right up. Dealership diagnosed it as a toasted fsu, but because the truck was just out of warranty, I had to shell out $407. 00 bucks to get it replaced. This issue is more than an inconvenience and an unnecessary expense. . . It's downright dangerous for someone caught in a situation when the fsu fails, and they can't maneuver out of a situation because of the loss of power. In my opinion, this failure, which I'm now learning is quite common, demands a recall. And if a recall is issued, how about a reimbursement for those of us who have already had to deal with this?.

I filled up my tank from empty and the fuel guage continued to read as empty. The next day it read as half full even though it was still full. Now it reads empty again dispite still being full and the service engine soon light is now on.

Fuel sensor problem 2007 Frontier -47,000 mile. After filling the tank, the fuel gauge drops to empty, the low fuel warning light comes on, and service engine soon light comes on. This is a common recurring problem with Nissan models and because it is not a true safety issue, Nissan does not feel the necessity to issue a recall.

Fuel sending unit not working right when fill tank up the fuel gauge goes to empty stays at empty this could be safety issue if you don't know how much fuel you have and get stranded.

2007 Nissan Frontier, fuel gauge was not reporting full tank after fill up; dealership diagnosed faulty fuel level sensor and replaced as a warranty item.

I just bought my 2007 Nissan Frontier le with 60,000 miles. While driving it home I noticed that the fuel gauge was not going all the way up even though I had just filled the tank completely. Then the gauge just dropped all the way to empty and the empty light came on along with the "service engine soon" light and the dte (distance to empty) light started to flash. I have not yet had this problem repaired but will within the next week.

2007 Nissan Frontier with 45,000 miles developed "service engine soon" light when filled up with gasoline. Code shown when read was "fuel sending unit high output". After research with several Nissan dealers, an approximate repair cost of $600 was given, including a $100 diagnostic fee for reading the codes. I have been running vehicle without a properly operating fuel gauge for approximately 5,000 miles since, due to high cost of repair not available at this time. This is a risk since the fuel gauge drops to empty once tank is below half full. This can result in loss of power components upon vehicle ceasing to operate once out of fuel. This is a recurring defect in similar and past model years that the manufacturer is choosing to ignore once out of warranty.

Fuel gauge is acting very erratic. I top off the tank and the needle reads between 3/4 and full most of the time. After 50-70 miles the gauge reads 1/2 tank. I bought this 2007 used with 3000 miles on it and the problem started after 6 months of ownership.

The fuel gauge acts erratically, I can fill the gas tank up with fuel but the needle still shows that I'm empty. I'm sure it's the fuel sending unit. The vehicle has 44000 miles on it now, and around 38,000 miles when this occurred. The check engine light is on because of this defect.

Fuel sensor or sending unit is bad on a 07' Frontier. Fuel gauge drops to empty at 1/4 tank, and also does the same after fill up. Takes a while to come back up to full reading. Nissan wants me to pay 600. 00 for a repair when this is apparently a issue on all of their vehicles. They need to issuer a recall.

Service engine soon light came on at ~55000 miles. When I filled up my gas tank the level did not register correctly and the ses light came on. Will go off between 3/4 and 1/4 tank, but comes back on each fill up. Found out that this is a common problem on the Nissan Frontier. Mine is a 2007 model.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Frontier. The contact thought he drove over an object at 60 mph. He immediately smelled gas and pulled over the vehicle. He noticed gas spilling from the middle driver side of the vehicle. The contact jumped back into the vehicle and drove off because he was at a gas station. Once far enough from the station, he turned off the engine, waited for the gas to stop leaking, restarted the vehicle, and drove home. The dealer did not make any repairs, but stated that the gas tank needed to be replaced. The failure was caused by an object that struck the aluminum cover and cracked the plastic gas tank. The current and failure mileages were 2,000. Updated 02/19/08. The consumer stated the gas tank was made of poor quality plastic material, with a very thin aluminum plate covering. The object that hit the gas tank was small because it marked a four-inch dent on the front side of the gas tank and the small piece of square that was in front of it. Updated.
