Driving on highway at speed, 11:30 pm truck stalled out, attempted neutral restart while manuevering to the right was a very hazardous situation. Truck fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank. The check engine light was now on so I did not consider it had run out of fuel. I had it towed to mechanic, code read p0463 which is the fuel level sensor on the fuel pump located in the fuel tank. Mechanic wants $700 to repair, the 2006 and 2008 versions of the vehicle have been recalled, but not the 2007, seems that Nissan has used these defective parts in all 3 and probably more model years. I was placed in a situation that was extremely hazardous to me, my passengers, and those motorists on the road around me. Since this event I have read website after website describing this product defect, it is the same in every case it is clear that Nissan has placed inferior parts in this truck and they are failing putting their customers and those around us in harms way. Do we need to wait for fatalites to recognize this is a manufactures defect. Nissan needs to take resposibility for the 2007 and any other model years that have this part in them.

My vehicle fuel pump failed and nearly caused me to crash. I have located NHTSA # 04v230000 that notes a recall. The dealer says that my VIN number was not part of the faulty pumps that were placed in the vehicles. I want to add that these other fuel pumps are also no good. I am in the coast guard and my vehicle has been near the salty ocean air since I've owned it (the same reason for the corrosion on the other pumps). There should also be a recall for these pumps.

Check engine light is illuminated due to faulty fuel sending unit. The fuel sending unit controls the vehicle fuel gauge and provides information to run on board emissions diagnostics. Dealerships refuse to cover the repair under warranty. Consumers are unable to register a vehicle when the check engine light is on because the vehicle will not pass a smog test. Safety becomes an issue due to the fuel gauge not accurately providing the correct level of fuel in the tank. A recall has already issued for a similar fuel issue on this vehicle - I believe the fix requires replacement of the fuel pump and includes the fuel sending unit.

1. My 2001 Nissan Frontier se's engine suddenly died with no warning. It would not start and I verified that there was in fact gas in the tank. I expected it to be the fuel pump that failed. I had the vehicle towed at my expense to a garage of my choice. 2. I decided to check online to see what recalls might be due on the vehicle. There were a few recalls, but recall id # 5971 which is a recall of the fuel sending unit was the one that seemed to be an exact description of the problem that I had(engine can stop running without warning resulting in a crash). I called the Nissan's head office to see if the recall had been completed and was told that there were no open recalls on my vehicle and that all recalls on my VIN # had been taken care of. So knowing this I believed that the sending unit was not the problem. 3. My mechanic removed and replaced the fuel pump and the vehicle still would not run. I mentioned the recall to him and he then carefully checked the sending unit for corrosion and discovered that there was an electrical short on the one connectors on top of the unit that he found due to the plastic on under the connector being cracked. This was definitely the problem, and I was told that the sending unit looked to be the original. The mechanic then purchased an oem fuel sending unit from Nissan and my truck was fixed. The issue with this is that the part number on the new pump that was put into my vehicle is the same exact number as the one that was originally installed in the vehicle. This is unacceptable because the company put a new sending unit into the vehicle to comply with a recall knowing that the same existing problem would return. I feel like I am driving a ticking time bomb! it was not fun having my vehicle die on the highway without warning and it is very unsafe. I ended up spending $486. 97 out of my own pocket to fix the same part that was recalled only to have another part with the same part number and future problem.

I was never told about a recall on my 2001 Nissan Frontier pickup truck relating to the fuel pump. It caused my fuel pump to fail and my engine shut down while I was driving. I want to know why I can't take any action?.

After fueling to a full tank, I noticed the gas gauge did not budge off the 1/4 mark for 20+ miles. Ever-so slowly, the gauge finally read "f" but the check engine light came on. After diagnostics revealed the error code po463 and a bit of research/elbow grease, the problem came down to the fuel sensor unit. It seems that this is a common problem, with quite the number of complaints across the internet. This issue is constant after every fueling. Worse, the levels are inaccurate and could cause damage to the fuel pump by running to empty. The only safe way I can operate my vehicle is by meticulously eyeing the odometer. My vehicle has less than 50k miles. I can only hope the warranty covers this faulty part, because my research indicates a cost of $300-$600 for repairs.

Mr. , president & ceo Nissan motor CO. , ltd. P. O. Box 685003 franklin TN 37064 dear sir; I am writing to you today to complain about a problem with my 2006 Nissan Frontier club cab. A couple of weeks ago at about 54000 miles my check engine light came on, and the gas gauge started to malfunction. I had my personal mechanic check the codes, and it came back as a failed fuel level sending unit. I called my local dealer where I purchased it and was told that it was not going to be covered under the warranty. It would be covered if it was the fuel pump under the drive train but it was the fuel pump, but the sensor that was bad. I think that is a very bad business decision considering the current business climate. I have been a very loyal Nissan customer for the past 25 years starting with my first new pickup in 1985, I then had two 1987 sentra's, then a 300 zx, and now my Frontier club cab. I have been extremely happy with all up until now! I have now done much research on the issue, including your technical bulletin ntb07-069a. Where you statedealer should replace the part and file claim under pfp or primary failed part. . . . One could reason it says primary and hence is covered as part of fuel pump and Nissan will reimburse the dealer. I would very much appreciate your assistance with this perplexing problem. Nissan has a great reputation, and I don't understand why no recall has been issued. I can be reached at or at or by email at or at my home address: kevin thank you for your anticipated help! sincerely b. B. B. Nhtsa consumer reports s. C. Attorneys generals office.

2006 Frontier xe gas gauge registers wrong amt. Or does not work period. This is the 3rd. Fuel pump and sensor unit installed in this vehicle! I will not replace this part ror the fourth time! I guess someone will have to be injured or killed, when they run out of gas on the interstate, for an attorney to brings a class action suit against Nissan and question NHTSA as to why the agency has not taken action .

1998 Nissan Frontier- fuel pump failed-towed to dealer in mid winter. Dealer claims the tank and sending unit must be replaced due to rust/corrosion for over $1100. 00. Ok'd repair but cannot be done because no fuel tanks available. Dealer has truck, to tow it to a private repair shop would be an added expense with no guarantee of repair. Dealer will only use new Nissan tank that they can't get. I have no truck.

At 30,100 miles pulled a p0463 "fuel level sensor a" code on 2005 Nissan Frontier - 3yr warranty ended 6days prior to mil. Entire fuel pump assy needs replacement - Nissan won't honor 3yr 36,000 mile warranty. Service rep at Nissan dealer is aware of problems with the fuel pumps - asked me if my fuel gauge was inop before knowing the fault code. After searching the internet found many people have the same problem - there should be a recall on this issue.

My 2001 Nissan Frontier has had five recalls. The recall that I am unsatisfied with is related to the fuel system: the Nov. 2002 recall of the fuel storage tank and the may 2004 recall of the fuel pump. These repairs are pending and have been since June 30, 2008. The fuel tank is unavailable and has been for 108 days, as of today oct. 15. It has been inoperable and has been at the dealer since June 30. Original issue began on June 13, 2008. The vehicle struggled to turn over, emitted heavy dark exhaust, the smell of gasoline was present, the service-engine light went on and I experienced a loss of power while getting it to the fitzgerald auto mall dealer in chambersburg PA. The required work was completed on June 18. The repair work included replacing the knock sensor (code p0325) and related gaskets, replacing the vent control valve and charcoal canister (code p1441). There was no mention of any recall work regarding the fuel system. I drove the truck for six days. On June 29 the exact same symptoms appeared. I got the truck home (barely) and called the service manager. On June 30, the diagnosis came back. Same problem, different diagnosis. The codes were pulled and p1441 came up again, but this time the required part to repair the vehicle is a new fuel storage tank-- a part that was recalled. My repairs in June were in excess of $1200. I also needed a loaner vehicle at $35 a day . I am out $$1,636. 42 and have made 7 bi-weekly car payments at $144 for a truck I can't drive. The regional specialist for Nissan has promised to take care of the payment and reimbursement for the repairs, but has not delivered yet. Nissan won't reimburse until the part is in the vehicle. My case number with Nissan is 6262993. The part is "due" at the dealer the last week of October, however a recall repair should not take 4 months. My complaint is not with the chambersburg dealer but with Nissan north America.

2005 Nissan Frontier le gas gauge behaves erratically and "service engine soon" light appears. Obdii code is p0463, fuel level sensor a circuit high input - replace fuel sending unit.

I purchased 2002 Nissan Frontier xe and have had to do major repair on it. Carfax reports three recalls;only two of which I can confirm attended to. The issues are suspension an dfuel: throttle linkages and control and fuel system, gasoline delivery:fuel pump. Despite the work I have also had done on these issues the truck still has problems: fails to accelerate at times and steering wheel shakes between 60k and 100k and makes steering difficult. I am trying to work this out with dealership but they are beating around the bush. I feel very much that fixing this vehicle is like chasing ghosts and that it is a lemon. The incident date is my date of purchase.

On March 07, 2007 my 2000 Nissan Frontier began intermittently to lose engine power. No recognizable events lead up to the power failure, it came on suddenly and without any warning. The first incident occurred at a major highway intersection, and nearly caused vehicle crash. On March 08, 2007, I had my vehicle towed to my primary mechanic for inspection. On March 09, 2007, my primary ase certified mechanic diagnosed the problem as being a faulty fuel tank sending unit. He also advised me of Nissan's voluntary recall campaign for this specific problem, and suggested that I return my vehicle to them to have the recall service completed. On March 22, 2007, I had my vehicle towed to sandy sansing Nissan of pensacola, FL, to have the recall service completed. The details of this service as noted on my service invoice were as follows: fuel sending unit non-salt recall; checked connection, no corrosion found, sprayed protective coating on connectors. On March 23, 2007, I returned to the dealership to pick up my vehicle, as I had been advised that the service was completed. After driving less than four miles from the dealership, the engine in my vehicle began to fail, just as it had when the problem was diagnosed as being a faulty fuel sending unit. I phoned sandy sansing Nissan's service department to asvise them that the problem still existed. Their response was that the recall did not require them to replace the faulty fuel sending unit since my vehicle was identified as not being located in a " salt state". As a result of my vehicle's engine failure, again I had to have it towed home. I don't understand the process that was used to determine that my vehicle was not eligible for being located in a salt state. I have two homes and one of them is in tennessee, which is a salt state", and I travel there quite frequently. I am unable to find a local independant mechanic to replace the fuel sending unit because of Nissan's recall. Ak.

While driving my 2005 Nissan Frontier, I noticed a gasoline smell. I got out of the truck, and looked underneath. Gas was pouring on the ground from on top of the fuel tank. Further investigation showed that gas was spraying from the fuel pump all over the underside of the truck, even onto the catalytic converter. The amount of gas spraying was absolutely frightening. The dealer told me that the fuel tank hit a rock on a recent trip. This caused the fuel pump to smash against the bottom of the truck and create this problem. Further investigation showed that when the gas tank is full, to 3/4 full, any impact on the center of the fuel tank, will result in catastrophic failure to the fuel pump like I experienced. Impact to the fuel tank is almost unavoidable in any off road situation. The fuel tank is the lowest component under the truck, and the main power wheel in 4wd is the wheel directly in front of the fuel tank. This problem will result in fiery death, and/or forest fires. There is no skid plate kit available to protect the gas tank at this time. The dealer refused to warranty this item the second time it occurred. A new fuel pump cost is in excess of $600. 00 this is a poor design, and truly will result in death.

Vechile is 2000 nissian Frontier crew cab se. 10-04 got recall notice on fuel system gasoline fuel pump. Took truck in was told no crack or corrosion so was told they put a sealent on it. Procedure per recall I have. Recall # is 04v230000. On 6-15 truck stop working in major intersection was almost hit from behind. Truck towed to nissian 6-1605 and was told it was this part that was cracked and had lots of corrosion on it, but I would have to pay for it since recall was for sealent only. Not acceptable. Was told that nebraska is not a salt state so the sealent would work. What the heck do these people think we use for the ice and snow we have here? sorry. People at my dealership were the best. They really tried to go to bat for me but their hands are tied as well. They were told it was a company policy. I am really upset. I called the 800 # for nissian and got no where. Hell they would not give me a a street addr for me to send a certified letter to and they would not tell me who the ceo was. I got some women on the phone who just gave me the run around and said she would open a file. What ever that means. I believe these people are responsible for this part. They new it was bad in the begining. It says so on their website. Nebraska a no salt state. Where do these people think nebraska is, the tropics? sorry. I wish to issue a formal complaint. I do not want anyone else to have to go through this nor if their engine stops I would hate for a fatlity to take place. I would think they would want to prevent that my self. I am a resonalbe person with a great sense of humor but my humor and my patientce is running very low. I hope to hear from someone on your end as soon as possible. Thank you laural.
