What owners say
I took my truck to the nissan dealership in fairfield california and was told that they needed to replace the fuel pump terminal, but they had to order the part. They never got back to me and it was never repaired. It was so long ago, I can't even remember the date. I live out of state now, but still have my truck and would like it fixed at no charge to me.

I purchased 2002 nissan frontier xe and have had to do major repair on it. Carfax reports three recalls;only two of which I can confirm attended to. The issues are suspension an dfuel: throttle linkages and control and fuel system, gasoline delivery:fuel pump. Despite the work I have also had done on these issues the truck still has problems: fails to accelerate at times and steering wheel shakes between 60k and 100k and makes steering difficult. I am trying to work this out with dealership but they are beating around the bush. I feel very much that fixing this vehicle is like chasing ghosts and that it is a lemon. The incident date is my date of purchase.

- 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.
