Tank Mounting problems of the 2007 Nissan Xterra

I own a 2007 Nissan Xterra it has 76,000 miles on it. The fuel level sending unit does not work properly. When I have 1/4, 1/2 tank of gas, sometimes 3/4 tank of gas the gauge drops to empty and the service engine lite comes on. This problem started at around 56,000 mi. I have read on line that his is an ongoing problem with the Xterra dating back to 2003. Should this not have been a recall by Nissan? fixed 2006 and 2008. With the amount of complaints, I think Nissan should step up to the plate and correct the expensive deficiency. I don't understand how they can fix a later model.

The fuel gauge is not correctly reading the amount of gasoline the tank has. The gauge is reading more or less than what the actual tank has.

1. The fuel gauge on my 2007 Nissan Xterra seems to be malfunctioning. It does not read the correct amount of gas in the vehicle. Currently the vehicle has 49,000 miles. 2. The failure occurs daily. Before recognizing the problem, my vehicle ran out of gas while traveling down a busy road in dallas texas. The incident left my vehicle without power steering making it very dangerous to navigate the road. Luckily my stalled vehicle was not rear ended (there was not a hazard lane to move onto). I 3. I have contacted Nissan north America regarding the issue (case #6762797). They acknowledged a problem with the fuel sending unit. As I understand, a recall has been created to correct the problem. However, it only covers the 2006 and 2008. Not the 2007. I now use the trip odometer to calculate the correct amount of fuel in the tank. The engine currently shows a cel (check engine light). It is directly related to the fuel sending unit: po463 fuel level sensor a ckt high input.

The fuel level sending unit on my 2007 Nissan Xterra needed to be replaced as it was showing the incorrect fuel amount on the gauge and activated the "service engine soon" indicator. I have read that this is a problem with many Nissan Xterras from 2005-2008. A recall is becoming active for 2006 models only. This recall should be for 2005-2008 models as I have read (online forums) many vehicles in this range have had to replace this part or are in need to. The replacement part that was installed into my Xterra is still not entirely accurate. When the gauge shows 1/4 tank of fuel is left and I fill up, it will take 12-13 gallons only. The Xterra fuel tank capacity is 21 gallons. The reason I am filing this complaint is tom ake your organization aware this recall should be reviewed and expanded to additional model years. It is somewhat disheartening Nissan is well aware of this problem and not correcting it for the entire affected consumer base. Maybe if one of their executives was stuck on the side on the road with their infant child and out of gas when the gauge said 1/4 left, they would understand the severity of the problem.

2007 Nissan Xterra - faulty fuel sensor in the tank, causing the fuel gauge to not work properly. The fuel gauge never reads the correct amount of fuel - I have now run out of gas twice. Nissan said I was responsible for the $500 repair even thought this same part has been recalled on the 2006 and 2008 models but not the 2007 Xterra.

I have a 2007 Nissan Xterra s 2wd, and my wife has noticed problems after she fills the fuel tank. The gauge will sometimes take longer than 24 hours to reach full. Other times it will not reach full, and she has to gauge her filling the tank by the amount of mile she drives.

After filling fuel tank, the gauge was unresponsive (I. E. Showing empty when full tank. A ses light appeared and showed p0463 (fuel level sensor circuit a). After taking it to Nissan service, I was informed the repair would include replacing the fuel pump (fuel level sensor is actually sold separate- ~$150) in the amount of ~$600! it has been brought to my attention via internet search that this is a common problem which could result in stranding motorists and/or endangering them or other motorists from vehicle malfunction.

2007 Nissan Xterra fuel sensor failure. 63000 miles. Fuel gauge suddenly stopped working. Ran out of gas on mountain road with gas gauge showing 1/2 tank remaining. This model is not included in Nissan 2 March 2010 fuel sensor recall even though parts are identical. Same problem occurred with my 2005 Nissan Xterra at 61000 miles. This vehicle is also not part of the recall.

My 2007 Nissan Xterra has an intermittent problem with the fuel sending unit not registering the correct fuel levels as well as the empty light staying on after a fill up of the tank. After filling up the tank the gas gauge sticks on empty and then after an undetermined amount of time it starts to fluctuate to different points in the full range of the gauge. This has happened several times in the last two years. The consequences could have included running out of gas due to incorrect fuel level reporting by the fuel gauge and stalling in traffic. There is a safety recall for the same model vehicle in prior and later years for the same issue, but Nissan refuses to address and correct the entire safety issue. At this point in time the vehicle in question has not been repaired to correct the problem.
