P0463 code needs a recall
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated the vehicle stalled intermittently without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer replaced an unknown component. The failure recurred shortly after the repair. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who stated the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000.
I was traveling on the highway and hit a sharp object. That sharp object punctured my gas tank and the tank began to leak. I called nissan USA regarding recall number 35779. Nissan said that the tank had been replaced. However, sears told me that the murano was still using a nissan tank and should be covered by the recall. I have the part number on the work order from sears. Nissan denied my request. Nissan claim number is [xxx]. Approximately june 10, 2014. I would like your help in seeking reimbursement from nissan since I had to pay for the replacement tank and labor. My local nissan dealer in bowie md also denied my request.

My 2006 nissan murano was purchased used march 2013. Since then, I have put over $4,000 worth of repairs into it and I am still having problems. The latest issue is the car having no power when pushing on the accelerator and it will surge when you finally get it to go. I've replaced fuel filter, catalytic converters, transfer case just to name a few of the repairs. I am in the repair shop at least 2x/month! Now I read where there are many others having the same problem and nissan ignoring the complaints! I now have a car I am making a huge car payment on that I cannot drive! Plus I do not have the money to replace the transmission! I work in hospice and I drive to see patients every day and now I have no vehicle!!!! So it is now affecting not only my personal life but my work environment!!!!
Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. I took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $100 to inspect + $700/$800 part & labor. Of course is not covered by nissan. How many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? I am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. After reading complaints about air bag warning lights, drivers seat collapsing, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, check engine light coming on due to fuel gauge failure, wiper motor/transmission going out. My nissan murano has all these problems and more. I cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. The fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. Nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. We love teh car but it should hole together better than this. Theres are not items caused by high millage jut plain poor designs. Seats breaking - no way, visors falling down - no way, fuel gauge failure - no way, air bag warning light - no way, wiper motor/transmission - no way - please help us!!!!
Bought the car, used in 2009. For at least two years chargers in car did not work. Within last six months fuel gauge became inaccurate. There was another incident where the car just stopped, will look for details. But 9/24/13 driving up a hill, car came out of gear and stopped working. The part that was ultimately replaced was the instrument panel-part number 24820-cc20a. Apparently, panel was not communicating with transmission properly. Dealer charged us $1150 to replace. Neither service manager or service coordinator has seen one which needed to be replaced. Nissan accepts no responsibility. Yes, internet full of comments about issues with transmission and instrument panel. These failures appear to be the result of faulty soldering or welding of connections.
Complained to nissan dealer and was told nothing wrong. Complained at a later date and was told complaints have been made but no recall and if I wanted to pay for a complete gas system I could which would cost approx. $1000.00. When I get gas I have to get it when I am going home so I can shower due to gas spraying on me while pumping gas. Almost every time I pump gas it stops like it is full and gas spews back. Constantly have to move gas hose around and the gas nozzle to try to get gas. I have to have an extra set of clothes in my car because the gas smell makes me sick. One time I was sick all day vomiting because of this. This is dangerous and should be a recall.
Faulty fuel gauge, fuel float or fuel monitoring system. I filled up the car and the gauge reads empty. It will erratically show different fuel levels ranging anywhere from empty to half-full to full. This is a safety issue because it is impossible to know how much fuel is left. After doing a brief internet search I discovered that their are multiple entries for this issue from other nissan owners.
After coming to a complete stop, vehicle will intermittently not accelerate when stepping on the gas. Period/duration of non-acceleration is not predictable, nor can you depend on being able to get out of the way of an oncoming vehicle should you be in the process of making a left-hand turn. This is a severe safety hazard.
The fuel pumps shuts of when the car is running causing the car to shut off my mother drives this car and I got it with 20,000 miles and so far I had to replace the hi power steering line 250.00 the sun visors 400.00 at nissan and know the fuel pump I haven't even got the price on this yet but I feel that nissan are selling crap for cars I have 2 nissan also a 2007 altima got brand new and that at 300 miles I started having issue and nissan still has not fixed any issue that stated they don't find any issues I think nissan should be paying for this repair as it is a known issue and it can cause a person to shut off wile driving and cause a crash.
Vehicle has problems with accelation between 40mph and over. Was told it that the CVT tranmission was bad and had transmission replace and now just after picking up vehicle and driving home, vehicle is still having the same problem.
Service engine soon came up, so I went to my mechanic & told me that code "po463" came up & fuel pump sending unit needs to be replaced & that cost around $800. I check online & notice that a lot of people are having the same problem. So I think nissan needs to do a recall & take care of this issue....thank you in advance.
Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. Failed the state inspection due to emissions. I took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $99 to inspect + $700 part & labor. Of course is not covered by nissan. How many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? I am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. After reading complaints about seat collapsing, wheel bearing going out, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, steering hoses braking causing fire, in vehicles with low mileage I cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. The fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. Nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. This is my first and last nissan vehicle. Writing letter to the ceo, vice president total customer satisfaction, vice president manufacturing quality and parts & service nissan north america, inc.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated that the fuel gauge would provide inaccurate fuel level readings. The dealer replaced the fuel tank, steering level sensor and the air bag clock spring. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v401000 (steering:column locking:anti-theft device) or the federal safety agency campaign id number: 06v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly) did and denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 63,430 and the current mileage was 67,000. Updated 03/16/12*lj the consumer stated a month after the fuel tank and sensor was fixed, the check engine light illuminated again. The consumer took the vehicle to a repair shop, where she was informed the fuel sending unit sensor was reading an error. Updated 0604/12
Just like all of the other complaints that I have been reading, when I attempt to put gas in my murano I'm unable to put gas in by the nozzle. The only way I can get a full tank of gas is to keep clicking continuously until it's full. However, now I have a lot of back splash of gas and to me this very dangerous to me and others. Nissan should immediately have a recall on this problem before it cause an unnecessary accident or death. If this is a manufactured problem then it should be dealt with accordingly and respectively. I went by my local nissan dealership concerning the problem and the only solution was given to try different pumps, hold the trigger gently, and it's cold outside it will do this more often. What type of resolution is this??????
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated that the fuel pump would unexpectedly shut off and stop pumping fuel whenever she refueled. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, who was running a diagnostic test to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 10,000.
Fuel level sensor circuit, fuel tank assembly, fuel level circuit sensor high input car will not pass emissions testing nissan USA does not respond to phone calls or call back regarding request for recall. This item was recalled on several other nissan's , but not the murano. Nissan states emissions control warranty on fuel systems is only for 3 years and my time is over since the car is now 5 years old . Since july of 2010 67,000 miles the tank has been telling me I am empty when I reach half a tank of gas the car thinks its empty, I had no intention of fixing it since I know how much gas is in the car but now that it won't pass emissions testing, I test every 2 years and sept 15, 2011 car went in for testing and failed due to this fuel problem, due to cost to fix, I have dealt with poor fuel economy and fuel sensor/gauge malfunction but now I can't put my car on the road anymore due to not passing emissions and not being able to renew my license plates. [xxx] now has exactly 73,000 miles on it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2006 murano was bought used, shortly after buying, I had difficulty putting gas into it, pump kept shutting off, it only happened occasionally, so I did nothing about it, but did look it up to see there was a "service bulletin" now every time I pump gas it will do this, so I will be contacting nissan about it to get this fixed, as I should not have to pay for this. Apparently there are many others w/ this same problem, it needs to be recalled. Have had a few instances where gas would spill back out of the tank and all over the side of the car and on the ground, this is a very serious safety issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was defective and not providing the correct reading of fuel levels. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 64,000 and the current mileage was 67,000.
My 2006 nissan murano fuel gauge is giving inaccurate reading. When fuel is full it shows half, when empty it shows something else....it just jumps from one to another.
I have a very hard time pumping gas into my 2006 nissan murano s. After a gallon or two the fuel pump handle will kick off and stop pumping. I have been told this is because of the venting system. I first brought the car in for this issue in 2006. I ended up picking it up and then taking it right back because I couldn't put gas into it at the station down the road. It was again serviced for the same thing in 2008 and then again in 2009. The vehicle is currently back in the shop for the same complaint. I have to pump gas into a portable gas can and then pour it into the murano.
My 2006 murano has a fuel gauge sensor problem. It doesn't work so the fuel gauge in the car is never correct.
The gas gauge shows empty when there is less that half tank left. The check engine light comes on for the fuel sensor.
Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) 2006 nissan murano s awd VIN # [xxx]. The check engine light came on at the end of march 2010. I scheduled my car to be looked at in the beginning of april. Prior to the appt, I noticed a major discrepancy between the 2 fuel instrument gauges. Whenever fuel would be down to around a quarter of a tank of gas, one or both of the gauges/electronic display would show any where from 1/2 a tank of fuel to completely empty. After bringing the car in for service in april, I was informed that my factory warranty had run out, and that my after market warranty purchased from that dealership, didn't cover the repair needed. I was advised that my check engine light and fuel gauge/electronic display was due to a defective 'fuel sender'(fuel level sending unit). I was told that the sensor(s) needed to be replaced and that with parts and labor, the estimated repair cost would be $450. After researching the problem myself, I found that nissan is having many problems with this same issue in other models the same model year, 2006. I contacted nissan and found that no recalls on this issue are being taken at this time. I feel that given the large-scale recall (540,000 vehicles mostly in the us) in place for several other models, same year, same problem, it stands to reason that my model should be included in this recall. I have not as of yet run out of fuel on the roadway but that is mainly due to constantly keeping the tank at least half full to ensure the safety of my family. I have not yet repaired the vehicle at my expense in hopes that the federal safety agency will make nissan extend its recall, as it should.
The problem is trying to put gas into my vehicle the nozzle on the gas pump will shut of and spit gas back today I had a puddle of gas on the ground this has happened to me and my husband repeatedly have registered a complaint with the dealer and with the nissan company directly. I have talked to other people with the same car, model and this has happened to them too. You have to keep turning the nozzle on and moving it around in the gas tank trying to find a position where the nozzle won't shut off or spit the gas back at you. This is the 2nd time where I had to come home and change my clothes, gas on my shoes, and pants, hands, arms I consider this to be very dangerous especially when there are people out there who have a cigarette lit at the pumps as illegal as it may be. This has happened at various gas stations so is not the pump at one certain station.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan murano. When filling the vehicle with gasoline, the fuel gauge indicator would read inaccurate fuel levels. Prior to the recent failure, the fuel system was repaired per the federal safety agency campaign id number 06v003000, fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assembly. The contact was unaware if the recall repairs were associated with the current failure. The current and failure mileages were 36,000.
Gas gauge and electronic gas display are not in sync. Fluctuating between full and empty. Check engine light constantly on since this occurred.
In february of this year, my 2006 nissan murano began to stall as I was driving. I brought my car into the dealership and was told that the bello boot was loose. I paid to have the fuel injection system cleaned. Could this be related to recall #09v16900.
