My frontier was involved in a fuel level sensor recall in 2010 and was never replaced.the cel came on today(10/17/2018).I called my local dealer and they said the warranty on that part was increased 72;000 miles or three years.so as of today it is expired.I thought if a part was under recall it was for the life of vehicle. I worked at this dealership for over twenty years and never heard of anything like this.if a part is defective does it matter when it fails?
2007 Nissan Frontier fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 8: complaints 11 to 40 of 200, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. While driving approximately 40 MPH, all the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle stalled. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and waited a few minutes. Once restarted, the vehicle operated normally. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel gauge sensor failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 56,077.
Gas gauge shows as empty even though it has a full tank. Service engine light is on. Was a recall in 2010 concerning this issue although nissan says it's not a campaign service. Was not notified about the recall even though it symptoms for the recall are exactly the issue I have. Have had the issue for over 7 years. Have contacted dealer and nissanusa and both deny the recall.
Fuel guage doesn't work correctly. Sometimes it show the right level and other times it shows empty or somewhere in between. Ran out of fuel the other day on the highway. I know there was a recall on this for 2006 -2008, but it says my VIN number doesn't have a recall for this.
Fuel gauge operating erratic showing empty when I fill up and the low fuel light coming on then after driving it shows a different reading. I don't know how much gas is in it at any time because gauge not working correctly
Fuel gauge not moving to full, as gas tank got refilled. It shows empty after refill and check engine light illuminates. Sometimes stay empty until gas out, not safe to drive. Hard to tell if emptied or not. Need rpair. My truck is only 40000 when this happened, now its at 60000 miles. Repair will cost over $600 if only replacing inside tank fuel gauge.
My 2007 nissan frontier crew cab has 107k miles and for unknown reasons the airbag light will not reset. This is unsafe because the airbags may not work in an accident. Also the fuel gauge is malfunctioning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. While driving at unknown speeds, the fuel gauge indicated that there was fuel in the fuel tank, but in reality, there was no fuel in the vehicle. While in traffic on a hill, the vehicle stalled due to lack of fuel; however, the fuel gauge displayed a quarter tank of fuel. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. There were no open recalls for the vehicle. The failure mileage was 72,000.
Fuel gauge erratic. Check engine light on. I filled truck w gas & was driving on hwy 160 & noticed fuel gauge light on & gauge on empty. There have been recalls for trucks like mine for fuel level sensor sending unit
Nissan recognized leak in radiator, leading to corrosion in transmission resulting in clunking shifting with automatic transmission, until transmission cannot shift by itself. Secret warranty bulletin put out but only to nissan service centres and not shared with vehicles owners until to late for most. If they recalled or fixed the radiator, would not now need a new transmission repair for ~$7000. Truck will no longer go up hills unless one shifts as if it were manual
Fuel gauge sporadically measures incorrectly. Check engine light comes on when readings are incorrect, then goes off. Both while stationary or driving, on a mix of city and highway driving. Similar models/ model years may have already been recalled for similar issues (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/03/nissan-recalls-over-500-000-vehicles-for-brake-fuel-gauge-concerns/index.htm). Was never notified of any recall.
Fuel gauge states 1/4th full when it is empty. Check engine light comes on and states faulty fuel level sensor. Code p0463
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that the fuel level sensor failed and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. In addition, when the vehicle was filled with fuel, the fuel sensor gauge remained on empty. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sensor, o ring, and clip needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.
Our 07 nissan frontier was being driven to be inspected for registration when, at a stop light, it just turned off and would not start. We had it towed to a mechanic. He had to send it to the local nissan dealership for the computer to be replaced and reprogrammed. According to this mechanic, the leak from the radiator has mixed with transmission fluid in the transmission causing all these components to fail and need replacing. This is unacceptable!!
Never received recall notice for fuel gauge sender unit/float problem - dealer/nissan will not honor older recall so they say I must pay for repair
Fuel gauge is not accurate or indicates empty with fuel warning light displayed, even when tank is full. Research shows that it is a defective fuel level sending unit. This should have been recalled for repair by nissan. Running out of fuel, unexpectedly on the highway could have very dangerous consequences.
Fuel gauge dropped from full to below empty and check engine light came on. Diagnosed with p0463 error code, fuel sensor unit malfunction. It appears that nissan has replaced the unit on 2006 & 2008 units, but for some reason failed to address the 2007 model year. Vehicle has 54k miles. This could create safety issue if someone runs out of fuel during heavy traffic.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to provide accurate reading levels and remained indicating that the fuel tank was full. The contact refueled the vehicle several times but the fuel gauge remained indicating full. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a manufacturer recall related to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The approximate failure mileage was 60,100.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. While driving at various speeds, the fuel gauge would indicated there was low fuel in the vehicle and would register the incorrect amount of fuel on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sending unit failed and needed to be replaced. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.
The fuel level sensor has failed causing a safety issue. The 2006 and the 2008 model years have been recalled for this same issue but not the 2007 model
While driving fuel gauge suddenly dropped to empty and caused service engine warning light to come on. This has happened on 5 occasions. Problem seems related to that addressed by the federal safety agency campaign # 10v075000 for 2006 and 2008 nissan frontiers although the 2007 frontier is not addressed in this campaign.
Fuel level gauge failed at approximately 76k miles. Received code po 461 indicating sensor failure. Currently using odometer to keep from running out of gas while driving. Noted recall 10v075000 apparently covers this exact problem but 2007 model year not included. Service bulletin ntb-07-069c also notes issue of defective oem part used by nissan in manufacture of vehicle, but only recourse is to replace at owner's expense. Note over 150 separate complaints under various categories for this identical problem. Seems like a valid safety issue requiring a voluntary recall by nissan for affected vehicles or a mandatory recall by the federal safety agency.
My service engine light remains on. My gas guage will fluctuate from empty even tho it is full to half full when it is empty I saw a recall for this problem for the 2006 and 2008 models but not for my 2007. I checked to see if there were any recalls for my truck and there were not. Please help.
Check engine light on and fuel gauge inoperative. Will not pass smog as sending unit default. Ran out of gas on highway. Have been using mileage indicator to fill up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle was started and the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge levels were inaccurate and fluctuated. In addition, the fuel warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the air bag and the air bag module needed to be replaced. The fuel gauge failure was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,000. ...updated 01/20/16 *bf
I took my truck to temecula nissan and had it check, they told me my air bag would not open if I was in an accident, faulty spiral cable-p1564,faulty vent control valve-p0448, faulty fuel tank sending unit- p0463 this are things that need to be fixed, some of them are on a recall list but I was told it expired. So I could die behind this.
Nissan sold me a new truck with a design flaw, a faulty fuel sending unit. Nissan consumer affairs said I have to take the truck with the design flaw (e.g. Failed fuel sending unit) to a nissan dealer and pay to have it diagnosed (though the problem is already known to me as being the design flaw of a failed fuel sending unit) after which they would investigate to see if they can provide assistance to repair it though they admitted after checking my VIN they are not aware of any instance that would cover the repair (e.g. They are not going to repair it). The bottom line is I purchased a new nissan frontier which I had maintained by a local mechanic (not a nissan dealership) and it came with a design flaw (e.g. Fuel sending unit) that they want me to pay over a hundred dollars to have diagnosed at one of their dealerships after which they aren't going to fix it for me (despite the face saving act of nissan consumer affairs). Nissan displayed zero integrity in failing to diagnose and pay to have the design flaw repaired, in my opinion, at their cost. Furthermore, the policy they developed to "save face" is disingenuous in my estimation and designed only to increase their profit further. I'm a low income worker who will drive around with a fuel gauge that doesn't work and the service engine light on because I can't pay the hundreds and hundreds of dollars that it would cost to have a design flaw diagnosed at a nissan dealership afterwards paying to repair it myself because nissan isn't going to.
Air bag light came on wont go off, gas gauge stoped working,front end suspension has recall, took it to nissan dealer wont fix said my VIN is not on recall list. Was told air bag would not work if I was in an accident, faulty spiral cable
My gas gauge dropped to 1/4 then went to empty with light on now it won't move at all
Fuel gauge fails to register proper amount of fuel, triggers check engine light (mil) and reports trouble code showing open circuit in fuel sensor system. This failure requires me to watch mileage by using trip odometer to monitor when to purchase fuel. Could also cause failure of emissions test as check engine light is on. This would be an unnecessary financial burden to fix as well as having a failure of the emissions test based on the fuel sending unit not functioning properly and not from excessive emissions or other emissions control parts. Emissions tests are $50-70 per attempt with dyno runs. Estimated cost of repair is $5-750.00 for labor and materials. Vehicle was purchased new 7/07 with 50 miles on it as it was delivered from another dealership. Currently has 61,000 miles. Vehicle runs perfect otherwise. Would like nissan to at least send the replacement part (@ $250).
