I own a 2007 nissan xterra with a faulty fuel senor service bulletin #ntb-07-069c. Called nissan several times and the corporate office called today 11/14/2012 and refused to repair warranty part. It is a known issue and they just flat out refused to fix a sensor they admit is faulty. I feel helpless against this giant corporation. Thanks you any help you could provide.
2007 Nissan Xterra fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 9: complaints 71 to 100 of 228, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My check engine light came then my fuel gauge went to e then back to half full I stop to put gas in then went to full for about 2 miles then to e now its on e and light is on all the time. Plus check engine light is on all the time. Had my friend check to truck connected to gage to it and it read error for fuel sensor error. I called nissan consumer affairs they said even through there it a recall for certain xterras not mine even through the same symptom's are reported on recalled trucks at nissan.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that after refueling the vehicle, the check engine and low fuel warning lamps illuminated. The vehicle was driven to a private mechanic where it was confirmed that the fuel sending unit failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue. The failure and current mileages were 82,000. The consumer stated nissan declined his request to replace the fuel sending unit under recall # 10v075000, because his VIN was excluded from the recall. According to the invoice, the dealer confirmed the fuel sending unit needed to be replaced. Updated 11/08/12 updated 12/11/12*lj updated 12/12/12
While driving, the fuel level indicated it was empty and the check engine light went on. This became an issue weekly from that point on. The problem would go away, and then come back on. There is no way to tell the fuel level in the vehicle during this. Nissan issued a warranty extension for this known problem, but not a recall. This should definitely be a recall situation. They know it is bad, and it is a very expensive fix. Nissan confirmed ton 10/3/2012 at regal nissan in roswell, that the problem is the fuel level sending unit. They need to replace it with updated parts.
Gas gauge does not work and the ses light stays on. I did research that turned up that the 2006 and 2008 models are effected by a recall for the gas tank collapsing and crushing the level sensor. This is potentially the exact situation that I am seeing with the 2007 model and its hard to believe the design changed, then changed back to the faulty design over the three years with out the recall being issue until 3/22/11. This problem should be investigated.
After filling up my gas tank, the fuel gauge does not immediately increase to full. The low fuel light remains on, and very slowly the needle creeps up to the top, probably after driving 30-50 miles. Also, the service engine soon light comes on and remains on for several days. This has occurred multiple times after filling the gas tank.
Nissan xterra 2007. P0463 service engine soon warning display started on the dash and inaccurate fuel reading. Only 39,800 original mileage on speedometer.
Fuel sender sensor not working ... Gas tank registers empty when full .. I have gotten stuck a few times .. Engine light on.
1/4 tank of gas in car service engine light came on went to gas station on filled up and the fuel gauge would not read. After 2 day gauge for fuel level worked and ses light went off 2 days later ses light back on and fuel gauge not working went and had tested said that this is a common problem and has been recalled on other years but for what ever reason nissan did not recall this year. Company need to recall and fix this issue.
Gas in car was at a 1/4 tank and service engine light came on went and filled tank up and gas gauge not working after driving the car twice the light went off and the gauge was working 3 days latter same issue. I do see where there was a recall for the 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009 xterra for the same issue but they failed to recall the 2007 year for the same issue. This should be recalled and fixed.
Fuel level gauge always show empty. Check engine on sense problem started.
The fuel gauge on my 2007 nissan xterra is giving wrong readings , causes engine light to come on and I have gotten stuck without gas twice .. I'm up for smog test in a couple months and because engine light is on due to this problem I'll not be able to get this car register in ca .this should be a recall !
My 2007 nissan xterra, just passing the 50k, and now the service engine soon light on with code p0463. Seems that if I keep the fuel tank filled up above 1/4, then this problem will go away, but from time to time there's a malfunction of the fuel sensor.
At 4100 mile after filling the gas tank ses light came on and the fuel gauge was stuck on 1/4 tank this is a 2007 nissan xterra.
After a check engine light came on the computer showed a code of p0463, fuel level sensor circuit high input. I have read on the internet this is a very common problem with this vehicle. The dealer charges $600 to fix this problem. This needs a recall.
Fuel sensor gives false information, vehicle runs out of gas on the freeway nearly causing fatal accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. The contact stated that the fuel gauge malfunctioned and was providing inaccurate fuel level readings. The failure caused the contact to run out of fuel while driving on the highway. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer for a diagnostic test. The test results showed that the float that read the fuel was fractured and needed to be replaced. The contact did not have the float replaced in the fuel tank. The contact referenced the federal safety agency campaign I.d. Number 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxillary tank) but due to the year of the vehicle, it was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 180,000.
Service engine soon light comes on, have it checked and it shows engine code po 463 - fuel level sensor malfunction. Gas gauge moves up and down while driving and distance to empty displays -----, 0 or very low mile to empty even after pulling away from the pump with a full tank.
We ran out of gas with half a tank on the fuel gauge. In the middle of a funeral service. Not a fun day. Thank you nissan for extending a warranty on the problem and not issuing a recall that everyone would find out about before running out of gas on the road.
Fuel level system malfunctioned. The gauge read 1/4 full when the tank was really empty.
My check engine son light came on, I went to autozone and I was told the error code stated fuel sending unit/sensor. I was told that nissan recommends you keep a half a tank of gas in the tank. My xterra guage is very unpredictable 90% of the time even when I fill the tank up the guage doesn't register, and it's stuck on e with the gas light on constantly, which has caused me a single mother of 3 to run out of gas twice. I have done some research and found that there was a voluntary recall, but I've been told that there wasn't. I also live in a city where there is emissions testing which I can't pass because of the check engine light, I cannot receive my vehicle tag, which means I can't work or drive. I would like this sensor replaced at no charge to me because as reading online there has been 53,000 people with the same issue. I would like to know what are my options and the next step I can take to get this resolved.
Error code p0463, fuel sensor error. When the gas tank is full, the gauge registers empty (less then e actually) until some of the fuel is used and then the gauge registers accurately (I think).
After re-fueling, the gas indicator drops below empty, and the check engine light turns on. After driving it ~100 miles, the fuel gauge will then go to approximately the real fuel level (around 3/4 of a tank). After driving about another 100 miles the check engine light turns off. Every time I re-fuel, this problem occurs again. It makes it extremely difficult to tell how much gas I have left. I will never buy a nissan again.
Vehicle fuel level gauge does not work. Pegs high then goes low. Causes check engine light to come on. Car cannot pass emissions test due to faulty sensor. 2006 and 2008 nissan xterra have had a recall on this component. I do not understand why not the 2007 which has the exact same component.
Service engine light came on then fuel gauge no longer works. Seems to be a recurring problem in nissans.
Service engine soon ligh comes. Tank is full and service light comes on and later showed light that tank empty. I went to auto part and they hook up machine to find out why and it showed that sensor for fuel is failing.before I was able to disconect battery and light will go off but now light is permanent. The truck has 95,000 miles and I am very up set because it should be a recall.
I have a nissan xterra 2007. I decided to stop at a gas station to fill it up on a 1/2 tank of gas. Spent $40-$45 to fill it up. Drove about a 1/2 mile down the road and noticed that the fuel gage didn't change in position. So I pull the vehicle over and shut it down and let it sit for a few minutes before I decided to start it back up. When I did, there was no change in the needle's position and the ses light popped up. Whenever I fill the tank up or put any gas in the vehicle the needle goes from not moving, to empty, to where it should be after driving for a few miles and the ses light remains to be on. I went to a local garage and got read by a scan gauge and it gave me p0463 code which meant there is a fuel level malfunction. I called up a few garages including the dealer and they told me that the repair cost with parts and labor would be $500-$600. I did some researching if there has been any recalls and discovered that this has been a problem with older xterra models that continues to be a problem with the newer ones. This should not be happening with vehicle that I have had for about 4 years with only 40k+ miles on it.
Upon filling my 2007 nissan xterra on july 11, 2011, I noticed that my service engine light was on and that my fuel gauge registered near zero. As I drove away the fuel gauge gradually rose to indicate a full tank. When I went to my nissan dealer to check the error code he indicated that the problem was in the "fuel sending unit". Which would cost $300-$400 to repair since I had just exceeded the extended warranty mileage coverage limitations. In reading the descriptions of other owners of nissan trucks and suvs it appears that this is a systemic problem and needs to be addressed through a factory recall.
After filling tank with gas, the gas gauge sits on empty and does not register a full tank until a day or two later. Also, the yellow "empty tank" light comes on for the same duration of time. In addition, the "service engine soon" dashboard light comes on and does not go off until a day or two after the gauge has registered the supposed correct level of the tank.
I have a 2007 nissan xterra. The problem I have is with the fuel gauge sensor. It started about a year ago and the check engine light comes on and off randomly. Not to mention that when I fill up my vehicle the fuel gauge will not sense that its full. It will take a long time or even bottom out showing the light that its empty. I feel that this is very unusual and hard to tell what is wrong with the vehicle. I have been told that it has happen to many other nissan vehicles.
