What owners say
1999 frontier stalled while driving. Fuel sending unit corroded. *ts ***nar*** the consumer learned there was a recall regarding the problem he experienced. The consumer was told that the recall was completed on his vehicle in septemebr 2004. However, at the time there was no corrosion. The consumer is requesting reimbursement.
I have a 1999 nissan frontier xe king cab 4wd with a 3.3l engine. The middle spring on the right rear leaf spring broke and the forward portion (still attached via a "rivet" to the other two) pivoted and unbeknowst to me wore a hole in the fuel tank. I only noticed that there was a problem when I filled up the tank and noticed a strong odor. There is a recall on the fuel sending unit and when I take the vehicle in for this I will notify them of this other problem. I don't have a problem with the leaf spring breaking; however, I have a problem with there not being some sort of "clip" to prevent the broken piece from rubbing against the fuel tank.
While driving with fuel tank half full fuel sending unit failed, causing the vehicle to stall. Consumer managed to pull over, and had vehicle towed.
While driving on a half full fuel tank fuel sending unit failed, causing the vehicle to stall. Consumer managed to pull over, and had the vehicle towed. Dealership was notified, but the problem was not resolved.
Consumer heard noise whenever turning to the left, even after the dealer tried to repair by greasing steering parts and repairing air bag. Problem solved after dealer added a missing center support. Also, the seats were loose and had to be repaired, and the gas gauge is not working. Ak

- What is wrong
- On certain pickup trucks equipped with six cylinder engines and sport utility vehicles equipped with four or six cylinder engines, the fuel pump terminal on the fuel-sending unit can develop a crack in the plastic molding. This can cause the terminal strip to corrode under some environmental conditions.
- Risk
- If corrosion occurs, the terminal strip could eventually break causing the fuel pump to stop operation. This will result in not being able to start the engine or cause the engine to stop running without warning, which can result in a crash.
- Remedy
- In the following states, dealers will replace the fuel-sending unit. These states are connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, kentucky, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, tennessee, vermont, virginia, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. In the other states, the dealer will inspect the fuel pump terminal on the sending unit for corrosion. If corrosion is present, the dealer will replace the unit. If there is not corrosion, the dealer will apply sealant to the terminal housing to help prevent corrosion in the future. Owner notification began on june 28, 2004. Owners should contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
