After filling with fuel on 12/2/2011, the fuel gauge was hung at about 1/4 tank. I drove approximately 75 miles before the fuel gauge was registering near full. On 12/8/2011, I filled the tank with fuel, and upon starting the engine the fuel gauge read "empty" and the fuel light was on. I drove approximately 85 miles, but the fuel gauge remained on empty with the fuel light on. On 12/9/2011, I contacted nissan consumer affairs concerning the recall on this model of vehicle and I was told that my VIN was not included in the recall. However, nissan did open a file number (7327001) and it is being forwarded to a regional specialist for review, but am told it is unlikely that the fuel sending unit will be covered. There is apparently a problem with the fuel sending unit, as nissan had extended the warranty on this component to 72,000 miles, but am told that unfortunately I have exceeded the warranty period. I was also told that I would have to take my vehicle to a nissan dealer for diagnosis, at my expense, and no certainty if nissan will stand good for the defective part. So the dealer can charge me approximately $120.00 to me what I already know? I would consider this a highway safety issue; not knowing if you are getting an accurate fuel quantity reading, and the possibility of being stranded.
2007 Nissan Frontier fuel system complaints

2007 nissan frontier at 54k mile check engine light came on with the error code p0463 (fuel sending units failure). Found out that this problem is also happened to the 06 and 08 nissan frontier that was on the safety recalled list. The check engine light light up on (p0463) and gas gauge indicator will drop to empty fuel even still at 1/4 full, due to the defective sending units nissan manufactured. I am hoping that the federal safety agency will includes the 2007 nissan frontier as a safety recall fix list. Thank you.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH the vehicle stalled and the check engine lamp was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel level sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 100,000.
Driving on highway at speed, 11:30 pm truck stalled out, attempted neutral restart while maneuvering to the right was a very hazardous situation. Truck fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank. The check engine light was now on so I did not consider it had run out of fuel. I had it towed to mechanic, code read p0463 which is the fuel level sensor on the fuel pump located in the fuel tank. Mechanic wants $700 to repair, the 2006 and 2008 versions of the vehicle have been recalled, but not the 2007, seems that nissan has used these defective parts in all 3 and probably more model years. I was placed in a situation that was extremely hazardous to me, my passengers, and those motorists on the road around me. Since this event I have read website after website describing this product defect, it is the same in every case it is clear that nissan has placed inferior parts in this truck and they are failing putting their customers and those around us in harms way. Do we need to wait for fatalities to recognize this is a manufactures defect. Nissan needs to take responsibility for the 2007 and any other model years that have this part in them.
Fuel gauge failed. Slight smell of fuel in cabin. Dealer stated that they would replace the fuel sending unit under an extended warranty. Dealer stated that while troubleshooting the fuel sending unit they discovered that there was a problem with the fuel lines leading to the fuel tank. Technician stated that there appeared to be damage to the fuel lines caused by an unknown animal chewing through the fuel line, requiring the replacement of the entire fuel tank. This sounded very improbable and I believe it has to be a result of the poor quality of the plastic fuel tanks used in this vehicle.
The fuel line has rusted through and gas is leaking. Nissan will not correct the problem under their 60 month/unlimited mileage corrosion/perforation warranty.
I pulled into the gas station and filled up like I normally do. When I started my engine, my gas gauge did not climb past the 1/4 mark. I turned my truck on and off 2 more times to see if this might fix the problem, it did not. As I drove home, the gauge climbed ever so slowly before stopping at 1/2 tank. This is when the check engine light came on. I got home and googled the problem and this seems to be a fairly common problem. What I don't understand is why the 06 and 08 models are recalled but not the 07. I refuse to take it to my local dealership because I have always had less then stellar service and just refuse to deal with them and be forced to overpay.
The fuel sending unit on my 2007 nissan frontier went bad at 74,000 miles. Nissan has declined to repair it as it is out of the warranty period. However this is such a common and well documented problem, the 2007 frontiers should be included in the recall that is available for some of the '06 and '08 frontiers.
I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. I went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. After returning home and doing research, I went online to x.nissanhelp.com after performing a search, I came across many others who have experienced the same problem. Apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. A similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger. It seems that something in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. There is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 2 yrs and with around 39k-49k. If this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! Why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. Cost of repair ranges from $300-600."
Check engine light comes on with error code p0463. This is due to a faulty fuel level sensor. This has been a problem with nissan and the previous models with the same issue were recalled. This failure causes the vehicle to be out of compliance with texas laws and will not pass annual inspection without repair.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that when refueling the vehicle, the fuel level indicator would display the tank as empty. In addition, when the fuel tank was full, the fuel level indicator would only display one quarter a tank of fuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was working on diagnosing the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000. The VIN was not available.
Filled up gas tank gauge would not move then my service engine light came on.
I have a 2007 nissan frontier. I ran out of gas despite my fuel gauge showing that I had a little less then 1/4 tank of gas left in the tank. I see that there was a recall for 2006 and 2008 vehicles but not the 2007. Have there been any other complaints for this problem for 2007? My gas gauge takes a long time to get back up to full and my check engine light stays on. I make certain that the gas cap is on tight after each fill up. I was told that the fuel level sensor may be bad. I have not had the problem fixed yet so the part would be available after I have the problem fixed.
The fuel gauge malfunctioned it would indicate that it was empty eventhough the tank was full. I talked to service manager, he says that nissan would not cover repair because it was not a recall item. Nissan did have a recall on the same item for the 2006 and 2008 models. They could not explain why the 2007 models were not included.
Service engine soon (ses) light is on constantly. Fuel system reads erratic levels - when it reaches approx 1/4 to 3/8 of a tank, the fuel gauge drops to the bottom and the light comes on, as though the tank were empty. The truck reports p0463 code.
Fuel gauge problem and sevice engine soon light.
I have ran out of gas in the middle of traffic on a busy highway almost causing an accident due to fuel gauge not reading fuel level. I was luck enough to be able to pull to the side of the road. This is on a nissan 2007 frontier se model.
I have a 2007 nissan frontier, and the gas tank sensor failed like so many others from 2005 to 2010. I ran out of gas the first time and it stopped so suddenly I almost got rear ended. I called nissan and they said that my VIN number doesn't fall in the recall list. I am on forums and everyone is having issues with this but they are only picking a few to fix. This is wrong. Anyways now when I fill it up it goes to empty and the light comes on and the check engine light lights. Then after 30 or so miles it ever so slowly starts to climb until it is full. Then for no reason it will go empty again. It keeps going through this cycle.
My ses (service engine soon) light has been on for weeks now, the fuel gauge has been completely erratic. I am really worried that I will run out of gas in the middle of nowhere, or run out of fuel and not know and get hit on the freeway! Nissan has a service bulletin out about this very issue but still refuses to do a recall on what they admit is a bad sensor. I have had this diagnosed for free at aamco,(p0463 is the code) nissan refuses to accept this and wants me to pay them 100.00+ to let them diagnose what I already know!
2007 nissan frontier has an error code of po463, fuel sending unit sensor is likely cause. Gas gauge stuck at empty, currently under 35,000 miles.
Fuel gauge don't work on 2007 nissan frontier. It is the sending unit.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. The contact stated that while driving 25 MPH the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate level amount of gasoline. The fuel gauge displayed empty while the fuel tank was full and displayed full when the fuel tank was empty. The contact stated that it was difficult to determine how much fuel was in the vehicle and caused the vehicle to stop running due to the failure. The contact stated that there was a related recall for the fuel level sensor for the 2006 and 2008 models but not the 2007. The manufacturer stated that since the vehicle was not a part of the recall they would not repair the vehicle at no charge. The contact stated that the manufacturer should extend the recall to include his year, make and model vehicle. The failure mileage was 76,000. Updated 12/22/10
2007 nissan frontier fuel sensor gauge not working properly. Vehicle gauge shows empty, check engine light comes on and low fuel light, all this with plenty of gas in tank.sometimes fuel gauge will show 3/4 full and after gauge gets around 1/2 full, the gauge will drop to empty. Never sure how much fuel is in tank. Would not want to run out of gas and cause a crash. Nissan has recalls for the 2006 and 2008 frontier for the same issue. Nissan offered me $250.00 towards the repairs at their dealership. I am not sure why the 2007 model's are not included in the recalls. Nissan is obviously aware of other year vehicles with the same problem and do not want to fix their defect at no charge to the customer.
Nissan frontier 2007, service bulletin notes defective fuel gauge sensor and this can give a false fuel level and cause breakdown on highway. Sb # ntb07-069b and they will not honor this as a recall need. Defective fuel gauge is a dangerous item when traveling on highways at night. Please push nissan to recall / improve these units.
I am having an issue with the fuel gauge on my 2007 nissan frontier king cab. First off when my tank would get to just under a quarter my check engine light would come on and I would have to disconnect and reconnect the battery to make the light go away. Now my gauge reads empty on a full tank of gas and the low fuel light and check engine light are on. This first happened right after filling my gas tank up all the way a few days ago. Gauge is stuck a empty and lights will not go away.
Fuel level sensor. Service engine soon light came on. The gas gauge stopped working and sometimes creeps up. Not sure how much gas is in the truck. Sometimes it is full and sometimes it goes to half and other times it just drops to empty.
Filled up gas tank and gauge registered empty and low fuel light came on when car was started. Fuel gauge has not worked properly since and the check engine light remains on. (fuel sender not workin properly).
When my 2007 frontier reached a little over 50k miles, noticed service engine soon light coming on. Stayed on, turned truck on and off, noticed last time that the gauges all shook a little before engine started, now when to start again to take another child to school and engine won't start at all, makes click click sound and all gauges shake, see many similar complaints, looks like this needs a recall!!!!!!!!!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier crew cab. While starting the vehicle he noticed that the fuel level gauge had failed. The contact had recently refueled the vehicle and the fuel level gauge dropped from full to empty and would occur whenever refueling the vehicle. On one occasion, the fuel level gauge read the tank as one-quarter full yet the vehicle stalled because the fuel tank was empty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 46,400.
The fuel level sensor has failed in my 2007 nissan frontier. I have done a little research and found several others complaining about the same issue. I called my local nissan dealer and they said it was not covered under any warranty or recall. I was told that the replacement of this sensor will cost almost $500.00. Please help investigate this issue.
