general problems of the 2006 Nissan Xterra - part 2

I filled up my 2006 Xterra with gas (the light just came on before I filled up) and right after I filled up the check engine light came on and the gas gauge barely moved. I have 36,088 miles. My factory warranty just expired. I have read many people are having this problem. I drove home (5 miles away) and the light did not go off. I also tried restarting the engine several times.

The fuel sensor level on my 2006 Nissan Xterra is faulty. It's been going off and on for several months now. Obviously causing the check engine light to come on. The emissions people checked the code and it is p0163(fuel level sensor high input). From searching the web it appears to be a common problem across a couple of Nissan vehicles. A tech service bulletins issued a few years ago, however no recall has taken place.

Nissan service bulletin ntb07-069a should be recall.

The gas sign drops after filling up indicating e with a light on and the check engine light comes on which has stayed on ever since June 5, 2009. There are times when we would switch drivers and wouldn't know how much gas there are, that's a problem. We purchased the Nissan x-terra in 2007, but it is the model year 2006. The problem does occur within two years after purchasing the vehicle. We believe there should be a recall on repairing our vehicle because it is apparent that the defect came from the manufacturing of the vehicle. We are still stuck with this problem and we shouldn't have to pay for repairs. If this problem doesn't get solved, there will be further actions. Figuring that since we are loyal customers, there should be some kind of understanding.

I have filled up my 2006 Nissan Xterra a few times now and it has showed on 3/4 full each time. I have done some research and found that other people are having the same problem and have identified the problem as the fuel sending unit or the fuel level sensor unit. I have not taken it into the dealership yet to confirm although I am hoping this will be covered under the warranty since my car has only 28k miles.

Check engine light is on. Gas level incorrect. Purchased the vehicle new in 2006. In Aug 06, I took my vehicle in for this same problem. After several tries to repair, I started the lemon law process. They were able to "fix" it on the 3rd and final repair but now I am having the same problem again. I am told by the local dealership (hampton in ft. Walton beach, FL) that I would have to pay to have it repaired (between $400-$600). They have the previous documentation for the same problem and according to this website and others, there is clearly a defect with the vehicle.

2006 Nissan Xterra off-road. Gas gauge no longer functions correctly. Ran out of fuel twice due to inaccurate gauge reading once it was in traffic and was a very hazardous situation.
