I took my Xterra in for a fuel gauge problem and was told it was computer code po463 which is a fuel sensor problem. I was then told that the repair would cost around 600. 00 this is outrageous! I have been on the internet where numerous people have complained about the same problem. Please force Nissan to make this a factory recall. 600. 00 is the cost of a mortgage payment and the truck will not pass inspection without this fix!!!!.

Defective fuel gauge sensor. Was not aware that there was a recall period to have sensor checked out and fixed for free. Grace period has expired and dealership which is lokey Nissan now wants to charge us nearly $700 dollars to fix. If we had known about this defect earlier via any type of communication, we would have had vehicle checked out. Since we purchased this vehicle from said dealership, we would have expected some sort of notice concerning this flaw. We have had our share of problems that should not have occurred with such low mileage, but this is over the top.

Vehicle fuel gauge abruptly dropped from approximately 1/2 full to completely empty with low fuel light illumination while traveling at approximately 55 mph in heavy traffic. Fuel gauge remained at empty with light on after refueling and maintained this status for the remainder of travel (approx. 1 hour, 50 miles). Vehicle was then parked for 1 hour and upon restart, gauge showed 6/8 level. Vehicle was again refueled to ensure adequate fuel and gauge level did not change. After approximately 10 miles gauge again abruptly dropped to empty and remained there.
