I filled up my tank and yet my fuel gauge remains at below 1/4. This happened over the last 2 recent filled ups the latest being made yesterday. On the first occasion, I got stuck on the road. Today , I have to bring a gallon of gas with me to avoid getting stuck again. I called my local Nissan dealership and they said my VIN# does not show any recall and will not cover it under the recall provisions. I searched everywhere and found a similar situtation under NHTSA campaign id#10v07500. I don't understand it when my car apparently falls within the year of the recall but the VIN# does not show anything. The dealership says recall is VIN specific . Please help, VIN or no VIN , my car is manifesting the actual issues of the previously mentioned recall campaign on defective fuel pump.

I just purchased this car about 3 months ago and paid 4000 dollars for it. The vehicle stopped working and the fuel pump wasn't coming on. After searching for the power issue I discovered the fuel tank sending unit which is the top to the gas tank itself. Meaning the service hole of the tank access is the top part of the sending unit. The sending unit has 4 fuel line connections and 4 electrical connections. Two fuel conections and 2 electrical connections plug into the top side of the sending unit and they route through the plastic molded sending unit and connections are made in the bottom side. Basically fuel and electricity route through this unit into the tank. The power wire to the fuel pump burned and melted the conection inside the mold and burned the plastic all around the connection plug where the power goes to the gas tank. From what I understand the 00' and 02' sending units were recalled but not my 01'. This is the equivalent to riding down the road with a ticking time bomb under my children's seats. I have contacted Nissan but I have gotten nowhere with them so I am reaching out to the transportation saftey authorities.

My fuel gauge went to zero after I just filled up, my check engine light went on. Code p0463. The fuel pump is fine, just the fuel level sensor. I have heard this is a common issue with this year, is there going to be a recall?.
I was pumping gas and it backed up and splashed all over my exposed skin and clothing. Because the fuel pump fuel level sender is malfunctioning gas spills when I attempt to fill my tank.

I was driving to work a few mornings ago. My car had over a 4th of gas. Then my gas tank drops to below empty then my check engine light turns on. Then it turns off and turns back on continues to move and turns back on all while driving. I pull into a gas station fill up the gas tank then proceed to go home. The car turns back on one last time and when I try and turn it back on it shakes and turns off. Had to tow my car to my home had multiple mechanics come to my home and diagnose my car. I have replaced the fuel pump and yet still does not work. My mechanic told me the problems is deeper and this car and this year is known to have staggering issues. This should be recalled and fixed by Nissan not the consumer. I have never had an issue before. Im putting more and more money into a manufacture defect.

Vehicle fuel gauge does not function properly. When tested with a diagnostic reader the code p0463 came up indicating a fuel level sensor malfunction. That meant at least a $600 repair from the Nissan dealer for what apparently is a common malfunction due to a defective fuel pump module assembly. From what I have read concerning this subject it is a common occurance for this make and model of Nissan, yet the company dismisses any complaint as invalid. There was a recall for previous generations of pathfinder vehicles for the exact same problem.
Fuel pump sending unit as reported by the manufacturer back in 2010.
2006 Nissan Xterra fuel gauge. The gauge drops to e and sends a check engine code to the dash and doesn't read how much gas is in the Xterra at any give time. I have spoken to Nissan dealership and they have said it wasn't part of the national recall of other Nissan fuel tank issues. This is ridiculous I am still in the 60000 mile engine warranty and it should be covered my the fuel pump 60000 mile warranty as well.
When my mileage hit 36,446 my service engine light came on in my 2007 Nissan Xterra. It failed inspection and the gas gauge stopped working. When I called the dealership they said it was the fuel pump and it would cost about $600. 00 to fix. Now there is a recall on certain models and they said mine is not one of them how can this be? by the way I have spoken to at least 2 other Xterra owners and they have had the same problem. If this is occurring in more than one individual does it require investigating. It failed inspection because there is something in the fuel pump that is giving a bad emissions reading.

Fuel level sensor I pumped gas and filled up my tank right after the gas gage did not go all the way up to full it said that I only had a â¼ of a tank then in minutes time my check engine soon indicator came on. And now the dealership is saying that it will cost me around $400. 00 for parts and service. After doing some research I found out that this problem was happening to a lot more people out there. No recall on the fuel pump/ sensor unit?.
2006 Nissan Xterra with fuel gauge defect. Apparently this is extremely common defect in the part and needs to be covered by manufacturer. Error code p0463. My service engine soon light stays on constant. I guess the only way to fix it it to buy a new fuel pump/ sensor unit. . .
In response to the fuel pump terminal on the fuel sending unit that may crack owner took vehicle to dealer for recall work, and the car broke down twice since then for the same reason. Owner was worried that the car may stall while driving. Dealer had tried to fix the recall 3 times, and the owner no longer trusted that Nissan was fixing the problem. The first time, the owner was at a traffic light and the vehicle died. The second time, the car was parked for about 2 hours and would not start. Third time, vehicle was parked for about an hour and the car would not start. Owner has not talked to the manufacturer. This has been happening for about one year. Owner had the fuel pump replaced before the recall. Nissan reimbursed some of the money back. The owner concerned that she may be getting faulty parts.
Engine suddenly stops running while driving. My local repair shop, sts in chester, new jersey, identifies the problem as part of the fuel sending unit. Upon research on the Xterra owners club message boards, I find there are six pages of complaints regarding this issue. I intend to call my Nissan dealer and seek reimbursement for my repairs since this is so wide-spread, is a potentially dangerous problem (had this happened on a highway or in heavy traffic) and should be, in my opinion, a recall issue.
I have a 2000 Xterra that died suddenly on March 1st while getting ready to do my errands for the day. I had to have the vehicle towed and 3 weeks later rec'd it back along w/ a bill for $300. The fuel pump was on backorder for 3 weeks and I also know someone else who owns an Xterra and the same thing happened to her just last week. Today, after having the car back for less than a week it died again!!! I think Nissan needs to take responsibility for this. I have sent them, the dealership that fixed it and the dealership that I bought it from all e-mails of which have been ignored!! I will seriously consider not buying a Nissan next time I am in the market, which may be very soon@@@.
Fuel sending system for my 2000 Nissan Xterra is on national back order my car is disabled for two weeks at the dealer. Found that many other persons had the same problem, which is my car died on a major highway for no expected reason.
Our 2000 Nissan Xterra se experienced a sudden loss of power while travelling at high speeds on a highway. We were in the right lane and were able to coast to the shoulder, but if we were in any of the other lanes, we would have been in serious trouble. The car could not be restarted and we were stuck. The problem was difficult to assess. . . The battery was fully charged, the gas tank was full, the gas cap was tightly secured at the most recent filling, the service lights on the dashboard never came on indicating a potential problem. . . It was very sudden and very scary. After having it towed, the dealer found the problem. . . A corroded wire connection on the fuel pump sending unit. I checked the Xterra owners club website and found that several other people have experienced this problem. One person had it happen to them in the high speed lane during a heavy snowstorm, but they were lucky that the traffic was already moving slowly. This is a very dangerous situation and should be covered by a recall by Nissan so that other Xterra owners get this part replaced before it happens to them.
The fuel pump on my wife's 2000 Nissan Xterra failed while she was driving it. The vehicle stalled and failed to restart. It was towed to a service station for repair. The service tech called Nissan and ordered the part fuel pump, which was on back order. Nissan said they had a number of failures but not recalled the pump. Nissan also said to replace the filter and regulator. The cost was over $500. This failure could have caused a major accident since fuel pump failure shuts the vehicle off.
Fuel pump failed the dealer informed me that it was on nationwide back order they had no idea when parts would be available. ***dimsii ivoq entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*****761472.
