After filling truck up with gas the fuel gauge did not register full. After driving a few miles down the road the check engine light came on and the gas gauge went to empty. Mechanic checked the the check engine code, which was a fuel sensor error. The mechanic reset the check engine. After several miles the gas gauge started working again. It has been this way for six months now. Every time I fill my truck up with gas it does not register full. A few miles later the gas gauge goes to empty and the check engine light comes on. After several miles (varies from approximately 20 to 100 miles) the fuel gauge starts working again. Sometimes it not a matter of miles but time. Fill my truck up, gas gauge goes to empty, park my truck at the airport for a few days and when I get back the fuel gauge works.

I have a Nissan Frontier that has had failed in a number of things which are not wear and tear. They are design flaws. The fuel gauge module. The radiator/transmission leak flaw. Because of the design of the radiator, now a perfectly working tranny needs rebuilt. I also hear the tensioner for the timing chain is a defective design. My Frontier began falling apart before the 100. 000 miles with design flaws. Nissan never again. A simple warning letter that my radiator needed a $300 repair would have saved me $4,000 later and not leave me stranded in traffic.

I purchased a 2006 Nissan Frontier crew cab se 4x4 new in 2006. I have driven the vehicle less than moderately and currently have 44,000 miles on the vehicle. The check engine light recently displayed and I took the vehicle to the dealership. I was advised the fuel sending unit needed replaced and was going to cost roughly $600. 00. I was upset with the price, however, did not have any other choice but to pay for the repair. I have decided to wait until I have the funds for such a repair. While researching this issue, I have come to learn through various repair sites on-line and word of mouth from other Nissan owners that this is an extremely common issue with this model year Nissan. Vehicles including but not limited to Frontier, x-terra and "z". I do not understand why a recall on this expensive piece has not been issued, due to the price and obvious manufacture default in the quality. This seems to be an issue with this model vehicle since 2008. I recently have had other service work performed on my vehicle, and if not for a friend with a code reader, would have paid dearly for service replacements at the dealership, due to the dealership not advising me of the recall on these issues. I have owned several new vehicles over the years, many different brands, but have never had the issues that I am having with the Nissan brand before. The fuel gauge issue should be a manufacture default and likewise should be recalled and replaced at no expense to the consumer. Thank you for your time.

Received warranty extension letter from Nissan on my 2005 Nissan Frontier regarding an issue with the fuel sending unit which has caused my fuel gauge to inaccurately display the amount of fuel in my vehicle. Like all other owners my warranty has expired! when I purchased the vehicle it already had around 70,000 miles and that was in 2007. I just recieved the notice from Nissan within the last month of 2010. The ntsa should investigate this matter and demand a nationwide recall on this item from Nissan. This is clearly a safety issue for Nissan owners and obviously a defective part! it is pretty clear that Nissan realized there was a problem and decided the least costly response would be to extend the warranty on this model vehicle, knowing fully well that most owners would not qualify for the extended warranty protection. I urge all owners of this model Nissan to first and foremost file a complaint with ntsa and also call your elected representatives and see if they will investigate this matter. In addition I urge all owners of Nissan automobiles to refuse to buy any additional vehicles from Nissan. In addition please let your friends know that while Nissan talks a good game, the bottom line is they don't back their product!!!! at this point Nissan refused to replace item free of cost and I have not had the item replaced yet due to the cost involved. Nissan refused to fix item under warranty, stating my vehicle is out of warranty! this is absured and the government should step in and help consumers with this matter.

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!

My fuel gauge registered empty so a went to put gas in and it was nearly full. They told me I needed a battery. I was under warranty at the time. Now out of warranty and 3 batteries later, my gauge is broke again. I have sent emails and letters to Nissan and get no reply. I will probably never buy another Nissan as much as I do like this truck.
