Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2005 Nissan Xterra

Nissan has had a great # of fuel sensor problems with their line of vehicles. This is a well documented fact . My fuel gauge failed a few weeks back and now reads empty all the time despite filling the tank up. The fuel sensor problem also loads a code which causes the check engine light to stay on- not a good thing if you need to get a state inspection done. Nissan has ignored mine and many other requests to fix this problem. With a sensor that does not work or reads gas levels falsely due to faulty parts Nissan is putting or has put in it's cars this is putting the driving public at great risk. Accidents could be caused due to running out of fuel when you thought you had enough because of this faulty fuel sensor.

Noticed check engine light on dash was on but detected no issues and unemployed so didn't run down to Nissan to pay them $600 to turn out a light. Needed TX inspection sticker about 4 days ago went to get one at nearby jiffy lube and they denied because of "safety or emissions issues" on a code "p0463:fuel level sensor circuit high input". I got home and researched and found that is was quite common problem with Xterras and pathfinders. So common in fact, that previous generation Nissans were actually recalled for a similar issue. The sensor is in the gas tank and only checks the accuracy of the gas gauge. Unfortunately, no recall has been placed on the part for the 2nd gen yet, and so Nissan customers are being forced to have the dealer make the repair to the tune of about $600. What a racket. And without the repair I can't get my inspection sticker, when the worst that can happen is to run out of gas because the gas gauge may not show the correct level in the tank. My gauge is working fine. Since when is even a possible gas gauge problem a "safety and emissions" hazard anyway? racket. The guy at jiffy lube told me it might be sending to much gas thru the engine. What? a blatant lie. So apparently, the system has it that this unemployed person, with barely enough to survive has to either risk a big costly ticket for no inspection sticker or line Nissan's pockets with money I need to feed my family for a faulty part that they have even recalled the prior version of already when my vehicle runs good as it ever did and the gas gauge is working just fine. This is just wrong on so many levels and an injustice and apparently, you folks are the only ones that can bring justice to this situation by forcing them to recall that part they can't seem to get right before they rob more good americans of their limited resources in the racket they have going.

Went to the gas station to full up my Xterra. When I started it back up the gauge read 1/4 of a tank. I went back through the line and got only $1. 00 more worth of gas before the attendant said it was completely full. Over the day the gauge started to creep back up until it read full. One day later the service engine soon light came on. Took it to knecht's to hook it to the diagnostic machine. Came back error code po463 "fuel level sensor a circuit high input. " apparently this has happened to numerous Xterra and pathfinder owners around the 44000 mile mark or the 57000 mile mark. My Xterra just turned over 44,000 miles.
