Fuel gage indicated that I had a bit less than 1/2 tank of fuel. Run out of fuel as the fuel sending unit was displaying the wrong amount of fuel shortly after that the service engine light came on. Took the vehicle to a repair shop was diagnosed with a p0463 code defective fuel sending unit. Called nissan of north america for support was told that I needed to take the vehicle to a dealer in order for nissan to honor the warranty. Spent $106 dollars the first time at the shop and then $104 at the local nissan dealership. After several calls to nissan north america customer affairs I was told that the fuel sending unit is not covered, this is the same issue that thousands of people are experiencing how can it be possible that my vehicle is not covered, it only has 33k miles...this is a larger issue that needs attention by the federal safety agency as there has been documented accidents from people running out of fuel on the freeway. I've run out of fuel 3 times in the past 3 months as I deal with nissan to see if they can do anything about my issue.
2007 Nissan Frontier fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 8: complaints 41 to 70 of 200, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Traveling along hwy 209 in bigfork, mt, I noticed my gas gauge needle drop from 1/2 tank to below zero and immediately the fuel light came on along with the check engine light. A mile down the road and the engine stalled and had to make an emergency pull-over with my two young children in the car. Thankfully, the traffic was light that day, I was able to pull over safely, and I had cell service. I called my husband and let him know what happened. He brought gas and, sure enough, the truck started once again, but did not register fuel again until I filled the tank completely. It continues to repeat this cycle where it will register until a certain fuel level and then the needle will dive to below empty.
White smoke coming out of the tail pipe.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. After filling up the vehicle with fuel and driving, the contact noticed that the fuel gauge started to drop towards empty. The failure corrected itself, but the second time the failure occurred, the service engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the sender inside the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The manufacturer stated that the part was not under warranty. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 95,549.
My 2007 nissan frontier is experiencing what many other frontier truck owner are experiencing...the dreaded inaccurate fuel gauge readings along with the check engine light. I am blown away that nissan has not had the courage to order a recall on this well known issue. Hopefully this will not result in a number of fatalities before they "do the right thing". Very unfortunate and a poor form of customer service for owners who will most likely seek a different brand as there next purchase.

Vehicle ran out of gas when the gas hand was reading at a quarter of a tank. It happened as I entered traffic.
Fuel gauge not working properly. I brought the truck to dealer and they determined it was due to faulty fuel level sensor sending unit. Cost: $511. *tr this should be a recall since it is a safety issue in that I could run out of gas on the highway and possibly become involved in a collision.
Fuel sending unit fuel light on and shows empty sometime when it is actually full.
First thing that happened the gas gauge just quit working second the fuel line started leaking on the frame just after gas gauge fixed then transmission messed up transmission radiator and thermostat fixed and no running hot took it to dealer says nothing wrong with it also code is showing egr valve.
Fuel level sensor malfunction, truck shut off while showing it was half full of gas. I was in the process of moving so I had a truck load of furniture and also pulling my boat. I luckily carry a heavy duty chain with me and was able to get someone to tow me to a gas station. I then read that nissan had recalled 2005-2008 models but when I called my particular truck wasn't one of them. It doesn't really make sense to me if my truck is showing the same problems why it isn't recalled. This didn't cause that big of an issue for me but I feel like this is a serious problem and could put someone in danger of having an accident. The seal around where the sensor connects doesn't hold so gas gets in and corrodes the connecting pins causing it to malfunction. They wanted to charge me $400 to fix it so I bought the part online for $85 and fixed it myself. I don't feel like this is right and nissan needs to be held accountable.
I have been having the fuel gauge problems with my 2007 nissan frontier that I now see so many other people have complained about. It has been close to a year that I have had the issue but I knew it was the fuel level indicator sensor causing the check engine light to come so I didn't get it fixed. I would fill up with gas and the fuel gauge would stay at empty (no matter how much fuel was in the tank when I started fueling). Then after driving up to 100 miles the fuel gauge would go up to what I assume was an accurate reading. It has been about a month now the fuel gauge has completely quit working. I would fill up at between 250 miles to 300 miles on a tank because I knew I always got over 300 miles on a tank of gas. Well, this morning on my way to work I ran out a gas right in the middle of a busy intersection. I am very disgusted to see all of the complaints about this problem and nissan is not willing to do anything about it. On top of that, I thought a smaller pickup with a 6 cylinder engine would get better gas mileage than is does. My 2007 frontier gets lousy gas mileage.
Had filled the truck with gas at beginning of week and the fuel level was reading I still had a quarter of gas when the truck stopped in the middle of traffic. The truck was empty. Now I fill up and the fuel gauge does not move to register fuel level.
While driving on city street fuel gauge reading over 1/4 tank went to make a lane change vehicle started to cut out service engine light came on then the vehicle went completely dead making it difficult to steer or brake or pull to the side of the road out of traffic. Had the vehicle checked and was advised after he read the code that the fuel sensor was faulty giving a false reading on the amount of fuel remaining in the tank and that he had heard of a nissan recall on the fuel sensor. After I put more fuel in my vehicle it started right up but service engine light stayed on. Contacted nissan customer service about the problem and was advised that some 2007 nissan frontiers and other model of that year had similar issues but my vehicle was not covered for that problem.
My 2007 nissan frontier fuel gauge remains past the empty mark. It stays that way even when the tank is full. This also causes my check engine light to stay on. This causes me not to know how much gas I have left.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was reading inaccurate fuel level as a result the contact was unaware when the vehicle was empty. The contact also stated that the check engine light was illuminated. The contact was made aware of the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline), however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
My vehicle no longer registers how much fuel is in my tank because of a faulty fuel sending unit. I ran out of gas on the freeway. Why wasn't a recall issued to fix the known problem? Stalled vehicles pose a hazard.

Fuel gauge shows empty when its the tank is full and causes the "check engine" light to go on. I can't tell when I'm out of gas.
Fuel gauge shows empty when its full or vise versa. Gauge does not work because fuel tank has warped and float wont read it properly. Nissan is aware of their problem but nissan in reno nv wants $400.00 to fix it. Their faulty parts and they wont stand behind them. Weak.
I was told that my vehicle does not have a recall due to the VIN but yet when I went on the safecar.gov website and the issue's that I am having with my truck is what is on the list. What I don't understand why the place that I get it repair will not honor this. I have the ABS/vdc wheel speed sensor and the fuel gauge issues.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that immediately after refueling, the fuel level gauge would not move to register the fuel level.

My wife ran out of fuel on the road while driving our 2007 nissan frontier. I called nissan since a voluntary recall for the fuel gauge not working was issued by nissan, see: http://www.nissanassist.com/web/fuel-sending-unit/programdetails.php?menu=3 now they are telling me that the recall ended in feb 2013, I bought the truck used in 2012 with 36,000 miles on it. The letter that nissan published specifies that the warranty was extended to 72,000 miles without a year specified on the letter, my truck only has 52,000 miles and nissan refuses to fix my truck. Instead they sent me to a dealer that wants $500+ to fix it. This should be a mandatory recall, my wife could have been in a accident due to this problem.
Gas gauge quit working goes between half and quarter tank and stops, letting you run out of gas. Next item is timing chain howl on cold starts for over a year now then I read bulletin that chain tensioners are wearing and causing timing chain failures and nissan has never notified owners I was just in to dealer about gas gauge problem about 2 weeks ago and no one mentioned timing chain problem.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH. The fuel sensor gauge warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.
The check engine light came on while starting the truck. It was place on the diagnostic machine and the result was that a sensor in the gas tank was not working. I received a recall notice one week after the warranty had expired. The notice stated that the warranty would take care of the problem. I emailed nissan to complain and never heard from them.
