AFTER A LITTLE RESEARCH I 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 AND PATHFINDERS. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA (47,000MILES) JUST STOPPED (NO POWER WHEN GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED) WHILE ON THE FREEWAY DURING A BUSY TIME... I HAD TO TRY TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND WAS VERY DANGEROUS. LUCKILY THE CARS AROUND ME WERE PAYING ATTENTION AND A HUGE ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ON THE NET, APPARENTLY THIS IS COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE AND PREVIOUS MODELS(WHICH WERE ISSUED RECALLS). THE FUEL SENDING UNIT APPARENTLY HAS AN ISSUE WHERE IT STOPS SENDING FUEL THROUGH TO THE ENGINE, WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR NOTICE....THIS IS LIFE THREATENING AND UNACCEPTABLE.. THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE PEOPLE DIE AT THE HANDS OF A FAULTY 20 DOLLAR PART. PLEASE PLEASE FORWARD THIS OR ADD IT TO THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS I HOPE ARE LISTED... AND THANK YOU.. SO FAR I HAVE ACCUMULATED TOWING BILLS, RENTAL CAR BILLS, AND NOW HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE WEEKDAY UNTIL NISSAN CAN "TALK" TO SOMEONE IN THE TECH DEPT.. THE DEALERSHIPS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THE OWNERS NEED TO BE CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY... *TR

I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 30K MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH, I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AFTER NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, POSING A GREAT DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING IN THE UNIT IS FAULTY AND WILL CORRODE OVER TIME. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YRS AND WITH AROUND 39K-49K. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER!! COST OF REPAIR IS $490. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD AND MY FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WENT BAD. NISSAN HAS HAD A RECALL ON THE 2001 TO 2003 XTERRA FOR THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT AND RECENTLY ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM; FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT FOR 2006 XTERRA. I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ON-GOING PROBLEM AND NISSAN NEEDS TO INCLUDE THE 2007 AND POSSIBLY EVEN THE 2008 AND 2009. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE PART TO GO BAD. I WAS STRANDED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS UNTIL MY HUSBAND COULD REACH ME AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH RUNNING OUT OF FUEL WHEN YOUR GAUGE IS WRONG. THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON AFTER WE RAN OUT OF GAS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT WAS BAD DUE TO INTERNAL SHORT. *TR

TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW FUEL LEVELING/SENDING UNIT; IT IS A NISSAN XTERRA 2007 BUT PRODUCTION YEAR OF 2006 AND WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE TRUCK'S VIN DID NOT COME UP FOR THE RECALL THEY HAVE GOING ON FOR PRODUCTION YEAR OF 2006 AND 2008 XTERRAS ALTHOUGH THE SYMPTOMS OF MY ISSUE IS EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS OF THE RECALL AND THAT THE TRUCK FALLS INTO THE PRODUCTION YEAR OF THE RECALL YEARS. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AT ALL, AND I AM NOT PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS COMMON WITH THE NISSAN XTERRAS HENCE THE RECALLS. *TR
