A couple of months back I reported this fuel level problem I believe in july, my wife was driving this xterra 2007 (we have two a 2005 and this 2007) she driving in the center lane on the I-30 interstate when the xterra just cut out, looking at the dash she said it has fuel about a 1/4 tank , she said she just made it to the shoulder of the safety lane when stopped. I went to her aide to find the check engine lite on and it wouldnt start, I took a two foot piece of two by four and wrapped the tank and it sounded like it was empty and whats funny the gauge inside now reads empty..got her gas and I drove it home. I report this to you guys and never heard a word back about this. In fact the complaint doesy show up in your listing explain that! I'im a mechanical engineer and done my fair share of failure analysis in my career and whats going on with this xterra is a heat related condition. 1. The pump is spring loaded to be able to keep contact with the tank to pickup fuel. 2. The tank being made of poly material plastic expands causing the the pump to jack screw in he direction of the spring which rotates the sending unit pick arm to lodge it self against the the tank embossment and not allowing the arm to come to rest at the bottom of the tank. I found out this confirm the problem with a recall notice for 2006 and 2008 bnut why not the 2007 its same dam confguration ,same parts ,same tank, ,07,08 part number17202-9bm2a, sender 25060-zz00a, pump is the same 17040-zs00a, so why wasnt the 2007 included in the recall a typing error :summary 10v75500 reads":nissan is recalling certain model year 2006 and model year 2008 " should have read models 2006,2007 and model year 2008. How could you guys miss this? Dont you ever do a check on "where used" with xxxx models? If a part is used by the same type of unit it will also have the same failure occure .

Lack of recall for the transmission failure. The transmission does shift from park to neutral to reverse and then drive but once in drive it stays in a lower gear like 1st. While driving on a city street all of the sudden I noticed that the vehicle was making a sound as if it were not shifting to a higher gear. I then noticed that the check engine light came on. We took the vehicle to a repair shop and they checked the engine code and they said it was a transmission issue and that we needed to take it to a transmission shop. We took it to a transmission shop and they said that the codes is for transmission failure. Repair cost will be about 5000.

For over a year we have had a check engine light on with code p0463, the fuel sender unit needs replaced. Our gas gauge never reads correctly and has said we have had gas when we do not. Sometimes it also reads empty right after I fill it up. After more research this is a highly common and expensive issue for xterra owners. I believe that a recall should be issued for customers with this vey common problem.

Service engine light came on the vehicle. Took it to my local mechanic. Mechanic said it was throwing transmission codes suggested take it to dealer towed car to nissan dealer. They told me the radiator coolent had leaked into the transmission proceeded to quote me a price of 6042.00 for new transmission, radiator and coolant. What I don't understand is if this is a known defect why doesn't nissan make this right? I bought this vehicle used in january from a dealership it is now october and I have a vehicle that repairs are going to cost almost as much as I paid for car. I was driving down the road then wham my vehicle is ruined because of pure greed. Why can't someone care about hard working people and make companies who produce defective stuff be held accountable?
