2007 Nissan Frontier

MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN GIVING BAD READING AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MILES. WENT TO 1/2 TANK AND STAYED THERE. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. FILLED THE GAS TANK. THE NEXT DAY THE ENGINE REPAIR LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. CHECKED THE CODE AND IT WAS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. RESET AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT. UNIT WORKED FINE. NEXT FILL UP THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE FUEL GAUGE. KEPT JUMPING AROUND. NOT KNOWING THE AMOUNT OF GAS AND RUNNING OUT AT SPEED WOULD CAUSE LOSE OF STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. NISSAN RECALLED THE 2006&2008 MODELS TO FIX. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THEY DID NOT USE SAME UNIT IN 2007 MODEL.

2007 NISSAN FRONTIER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECT IN FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ON JUNE 30, 2012, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AT THE TIME, THEY DID RESEARCH AND SHE WAS INFORMED THE PART HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH AN EXPIRATION DATE OF 09/22/12 OR 72,000 MILES. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE ORIGINAL OWNER'S INFORMATION WAS STILL IN THE DATABASE. NISSAN STATED THEY WERE NOT GOING TO REPLACE THE PART, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OVER REQUIRED MILEAGE. *JB

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. AUTO ZONE CHECKED IT OUT AND STATED IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. I DID NOTICED THE PASS WEEK IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE READING HOW MUCH GAS I HAD LEFT (DTE) I RESEARCHED AND FOUND IT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE FOR OUR VEHICLES. CONTACT UNITED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME I WAS PASSED THE 72,000 MILE SO IT DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL? I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY WOULD PREDICT WHEN IT WOULD FAIL? I DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL OR I WOULD HAVE HAD IT DONE WEATHER I DID HAVE THE PROBLEM OR NOT. ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR OUR VEHICLES SO WHY PUT A MARK ON WHEN IT IS COVERED? ITS NOT FAIR FOR THOSE EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM AFTER. CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER USA AND STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE " NISSAN FRONTIER" WHICH MAKES NO SENSE TO ME. SO NO HELP THERE... ILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN EVER AGAIN VERY POOR ON ASSISTING THEIR CUSTOMERS. WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THESE GUYS ITS A COMMON PROBLEM FIX IT!!! *TR

AT 7600 MILES I HEAR A NOISE ON THE ENGINE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND GAS GAUGE STAR READING EMPTY WENT WAS FULL I TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY TOLD ME THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM SOME WHERE IN THE ENGINE THEY NEVER TOLD ME WAS TIMING,CHAIN,I TOOK TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND OUT THAT TIMING CHAIN WAS THE PROBLEM ,THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT THE DEALER TOLD ME THE WAS THE THAT THE REASON FOR THE GAS TANK READ EMPTY WAS T DUE A GAS MODULE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE EXPRESSWAY HWY 75 SOUTH DOWNTOWN ATLANTA GA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRUCK JUST STOPPED RUNNING. I MANAGE TO COST TO THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE TRUCK I CALLED FOR HELP. HAD THE TRUCK TOWN TO A LOCAL SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT RAN OUT OF GAS. THE CULPRIT A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 FRONTIER MODELS. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO HAVE IT REPLACE BUT I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I WAS OVER 72000 MILES THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE IT THE COST TO ME. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN AS LONG AS I LIVE I ALMOST GOT RAN OVER TRYING TO GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. MY FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/2 OF TANK OF GAS. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. I KNOW THAT IT WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED ONE UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE AND THIS IS VERY SAD ESPECIALLY SINCE NISSAN HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE SINCE DAY ONE. *TR

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. *TR

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 NHTSA WILL INCLUDES THE 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER AS A SAFETY RECALL FIX LIST. THANK YOU. *KB

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. *TR

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. *TR
