2007 Nissan Xterra fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 9: complaints 41 to 70 of 228, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to display the accurate fuel consumption. The vehicle was taken the dealer, who diagnosed that the fuel level sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
It has same problems as all the 02-08 xterras but you wont issue recalls on fuel sensor, radiator leaking into tranny, air bag sensors, control arm. Thanks for letting loyal nissan owners down!!!!
This is one of the many transmission issues with 2007 xterras where the coolant leaks into the transmission and destroys it. The repair cost is 8500 dollars if the 100000 mile extended warranty has been passed. I contacted nissan and they told me that this is my responsibility despite the hundred of complaints regarding the exact same issue. When driving at any speed, when the xterra changes gears there is a rough vibration that keeps getting worse the longer it goes for. Had I not learned about this on my own accord this could have resulted in a very bad accident.
We were driving on the interstate and the check engine light came on and the fuel gauge dropped to empty. We stopped to get gas and the tank was only half empty. We had the mechanic check the car when we got home. He said it was a fuel sensor problem that was common in xterras. We have not fixed it yet. We are concerned that we'll run out of gas on the road, especially on longer trips when you can't keep the tank mostly full. We are also concerned that our check engine light won't reveal other problems to us. I don't know why there isn't a recall for this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the fuel gauge lever fluctuated and the engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline), but the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.
Apparently, this is happening to large number of nissan vehicles. It started with my gas meter getting stuck on a quarter of tank. And twice I ran out of gas, thinking I still had some gas left in tank. Now my empty tank light cuts on usually after I get around a half of tank. When I fill up it may take 2 or 3 trips before the sensor gets off of reading no gas. My check engine light is on as well. Very frustrating not knowing how much is in tank, especially on long trips. Frustrating as well, having to put gas in xterra every 2-3 days not knowing how much is actually in tank.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact mentioned that the fuel gauge indicated that there was a quarter of fuel in the fuel tank and the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle remained indicating that there was a quarter of fuel in the tank and then indicated that the fuel tank was empty. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 79,000 and the current mileage was 81,000. Updated 09/30/14*lj the consumer stated the turn signal was replaced. The horn relay switch was replaced but the failure recurred. Updated 2/25/2015
Faulty fuel gauge sensor.
My fuel gauge registered only 1/2 of the last quarter so I completely filled up. When I started the car up the fuel gauge now read totally empty, with the yellow empty light on. I knew it was full so I reset the odometer to track mileage to estimate fuel content. After about two driving cycles the gauge eventually made it to the full mark and seemed to come down normally. This has happened now three more times. I understand there has been a recall, but my vehicle is outside the time (sept 2013) and distance (72000) miles allowed for the recall. It's now may 2014, with 76000 miles. The dealer, and the nissan 800 number just blew me off as being outside the recall warranty limits. One of the times the gauge hung up at the last quarter tank, you could run out of fuel in traffic or an intersection. I feel it's serious enough to rate as a safety issue.
I have researched and found many other have had the same issue with the fuel sensor on 2007 xterra. Last gen was recalled and they need to recall this year. I have ran out of gas twice already while driving down the highway. I am also having a loud wining noise coming from the engine due to a failed timing chain tensioner. Both these items need to be recalled before somebody gets killed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that the fuel gauge malfunctioned showing the wrong fuel level. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel level sensor was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 42,000. Updated 05/28/14*lj updated 05/30/2014
Check engine light is on. Took car to dealer and they came up with code p0463 regarding the fuel sending unit. Needed a new fuel sending unit & gauge assembly installed for about $430.00. Nissan had issued a warranty notification regarding this, extending the warranty to 72 months (6 yrs) / 72,000 miles. We were beyond the revised warranty period so we had to pay for the repair. Nissan should be made to issue a recall and pay for the fix. To the federal safety agency!! Please investigate and require nissan to do the right thing!
Transmission failure in my 07 nissan xterra. A complete loss of motive power and needed to be towed. The dealer diagnosed the problem as a failed transmission fluid cooler located in the radiator assembly that allowed coolant to mix with and contaminate the automatic transmission fluid, resulting in damaged internal transmission components and a damaged internal transmission computer. Was told that this is a huge problem with these vehicles and the nissan corporation is well aware of this problem.
The "check engine" light on my 07 xterra went off when leaving my garage. Using my scangauge, I found out my engine was showing error code p0463. When we got home I jumped on the net and discovered that it meant my fuel level sensor was malfunctioning and that, while no real threat to my safety was posed other than possibly running out of gas by surprise, it seems this is a very common problem with xterras. So common in fact, that previous generation nissans were actually recalled for a similar issue. Unfortunately, no recall has been placed on the part for the 2nd gen yet, and so nissan customers are being forced to have the dealer make the repair to the tune of about $600. Also it seem like a lot of other people are having the same issue with this faulty part according to the internet.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the service engine warning light illuminated in addition to the fuel lev el gauge inaccurately indicating that the fuel tank was empty. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician diagnosed that the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 79,200.
"check engine" light came on. Diagnostic computer shows error "fuel level sensor circuit high voltage." this is apparently a very, very common problem. Mechanic says this will eventually, if left un-repaired, destroy my main computer on the car. Repair estimate is $700, which includes a complete change-out of the fuel pump assembly.
My radiator went out in the starbucks drive-thru. I had it towed to a shop & was told it is a known design flaw by nissan where the fluids are mixing & the only thing I can do now is replace the radiator & "hope" the fluids did not go into the transmission. Got the new radiator & had a trans flush 3 times & paid about $1800. It is now a month later & my service engine light is on. Today, I am told I need a new transmission which will cost $3800. This is our only car. We do not have the funds to pay for a new transmission. For safety reasons, we urge you to please issue a recall on this poor design by nissan where the fluids are mixing & causing safety concerns to the consumers.
My wife refueled her vehicle and the "service engine soon" light came on. The gas gauge then went from full to zero and low fuel light came on. Soon after, the tmps sensor also went out. I thought it might be the gas cap being lose, but it wasn't. The gas gauge will fluctuate between empty and full. This is my wife's car and it is a hazard to be driven on the road, especially if she runs out of gas.
Ongoing problems with p0463 code and ses light. Fuel sensor does not function correctly, so I of not know how much gas is in my car. Apparently there was a recall on this for the 2006 and 2008, but not the 07? This is dangerous! I do not want to run out of gas while I'm driving!
Fuel level sensor was malfunctioning on my xterra, seems to be an ongoing thing with xterras since people keep posting about it http://www.clubxterra.org/forums/showthread.php?t=10923 and http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2010/08/xterrapathfinder-fuel-gauge-erratic-p0463-check-engine-light/ this should be recalled.
Fuel sending unit failure. Appears thousands of other consumers have been having same part fail in their xterra's.
I filled up my gas tank and when I left, I noticed the "service engine soon" light and that my gas gage was in empty right after filling up. After a little while the service light would go off and the gas gage seemed to be working again. I did a little web research and found many other owners are seeing the same issue. I'm willing to live with using my trip gage because the cost to fix is too much for a known issue. Love my xterra just hate this issue. What I have found is that the federal mandate on ethanol mixed gas corrodes the censure is from one person thoughts. Also found that if you take it in, the code will say, p0463 which means you fuel sender unit sensor is out.
I filled up my gas tank and when I left the gas station and started driving home the "service engine soon" light came on. The gas gauge did not read as a full tank either and I also full my tank up every time I get gas. I also reset to odometer so I know how many miles I get with each tank of gas. I took my nissan xterra 2007 to have them read the code to me and it came back "p0463". This is the fuel sender unit sensor. Apparently, this problem seems to be an long ongoing issue with nissan. It should be a recall defect but it is not. The sensor part goes bad and they want the customer to pay out $600. To fix the problem. This is s problem that needs to be fixed by the dealership!
I have a 2007 nissan xterra. At about 61000 miles I filled the gas tank. When I started my car I noticed the fuel gauge was still sitting on empty. Soon thereafter the "service engine soon" message appeared on my dash instruments and has not gone off since. I notice there have already been about 156 of the very same problems reported with many of the people running out of gas because of this. There should be a recall for this item.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that after refueling, the low fuel warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel sensor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 122,000.
Experienced intermittent fuel gage operation and inaccurate fuel level reading with check engine light on. Diagnosed as p0463 ECM error code (fuel level sensor). Nissan has confirmed the error code and refuses to repair/replace the fuel sending unit because vehicle is out of warranty despite previous recalls on other year models for the same issue.
After filling the SUV up with gas, the gauge moves to empty for a while then slowly moves up after 40-45 minutes of driving.
At around 75000 miles my fuel sending unit failed on my 2007 nissan xterra. This is a very common issue with this vehicle and has been documented by nissan in ntb07-069b. This condition causes the vehicle to show improper fuel levels and throws the following check engine code. By not knowing exactly when this vehicle will be out of fuel it can be an unsafe condition for my wife and granddaughter to ride long distances in this vehicle.
I've noticed that nissan has been under investigation for receiving a number of complaints from consumers in regards to sudden, catastrophic transmission failures in 2005-2010 nissan pathfinder, frontier and xterra's. Well I am writing to tell you that my 2007 nissan xterra has fallen victim to this. It has been diagnosed with the problem of the transmission fluid cooler located in the radiator assembly that allowed coolant to mix with and contaminate the automatic transmission fluid, resulting in damaged internal transmission components and a damaged internal transmission computer. I had no warning signs leading up to or just prior to the failures. What is nissan going to do about this???? Recall ??
