2007 Nissan Xterra

GOT "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" ERROR CODE P0463 WHICH IS FAILED FUEL SENSOR PREVIOUS GENERATION OF NISSAN XTERRAS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. REPAIR IS ~$600. VEHICLE HAS 67,000 MILES. LEVEL SENSOR NOW READS UNRELIABLY WHICH IS A HAZARD IN THE WINTER. SUPPOSEDLY, THE CURRENT GENERATION OF XTERRAS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES AND TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH A REAL FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION.

THE STEERING WHEEL WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS NOT OPERATING, THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING GAUGE INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AND OCCASIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL RECALLS REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE BUT HE WAS NOT SURE WHICH RECALL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED.

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA THAT I JUST BOUGHT IN SEPT. '10. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 39,000 MILES ON IT. I WAS A LITTLE UNDER 1/4 A TANK OF GAS THE OTHER DAY SO I WENT AND FILLED IT UP. WHEN I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE, THE GAS GAUGE WENT RIGHT BACK TO THE POSITION IT WAS IN BEFORE I FILLED UP. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND IT STILL READ THE SAME. THINKING MY FLOAT WAS STUCK OR SOMETHING, I JUST WENT ON DRIVING. AFTER AWHILE, THE GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO PUT MORE GAS IN BUT IT WOULD ONLY TAKE ABOUT 2 GALLONS. THEN THE 'SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT' CAME ON AND NOW IT WON'T GO OFF. THE GAS GAUGE WILL SOMETIMES GO UP TO FULL (EVEN IF I'VE DROVE 100 MILES ON THAT TANK) AND SOMETIMES IT WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY. IT FLUXUATES UP AND DOWN WITH NO RHYME OR REASON AND IT WILL DO IT IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. I HAVE PUT SEA BREEZE FUEL CLEANER STUFF IN THE TANK BUT SO FAR IT HAS NOT HELPED. *TR

HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE ON MY CURRENT 2007 XTERRA IM AT 53,000 MILES AND THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR IT. WARRANTY ON THIS ITEM IS 36,000 MILES. THEY EVEN TRIED TO BS ME WHEN I SAID THERE IS EVEN A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT FOR THIS COMMON REPAIR. THIS IS HOW IT WENT: ME - IS THERE A CURRENT RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN FOR A FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE OR DTC P0461/2/3 DEALER - LET ME CHECK SIR. ME - THANKS DEALER - NO SIR ME - I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE I HAVE IT IN MY HAND IT IS NISSAN SERVICE BULLETIN NTB07-069B DEALER - I DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION ON ME ME - SERVICE BULLETINS ARE CREATED FOR COMMON REPAIRS SO I KNOW IM NOT THAT ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA HAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NOT REGISTERING THE CORRECT FUEL LEVELS AS WELL AS THE EMPTY LIGHT STAYING ON AFTER A FILL UP OF THE TANK. AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK THE GAS GAUGE STICKS ON EMPTY AND THEN AFTER AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME IT STARTS TO FLUCTUATE TO DIFFERENT POINTS IN THE FULL RANGE OF THE GAUGE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE INCLUDED RUNNING OUT OF GAS DUE TO INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL REPORTING BY THE FUEL GAUGE AND STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL VEHICLE IN PRIOR AND LATER YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO ADDRESS AND CORRECT THE ENTIRE SAFETY ISSUE. AT THIS POINT IN TIME THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA BROUGHT USED @ CARMAX OF WHITE MARSH MD. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 3YRS NOW AND HAVE HAD ITS REGULAR CHECK AND ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. IN NOVEMBER THE CAR STARTED WITH THIS STRANGE AND LOAD NOISE. I HAD NEW TIERD REPLACED AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, AFTER PERSISTENCE AND TAKING THE CAR BACK BECAUSE IT WOULD SKIP AND PULL. THE AUTOSHOP DID A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE CAR TO LOOSE SOME POWER ALONG WITH THE HEADER NOT WORKING EITHER. I CALLED NISSAN AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM. WELL THEY SENT ME A LETTER TELLING ME ABOUT AN INTERNAL MEMO THEY HAD REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO A NISSAN DEALER TO SEE IF IN FACT THAT WAS THE CASE. I DID AND IT WAS I SPOKE TO SOMEONE IN THEIR CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT WHO EXPLAINED THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AMOUNT THAT HEY HAD INCREASED IT TO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OUT OF POCKET.... HERE IS MY MAJOR PROBLEM THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 80,000 MILES MY CAR HAS 93,000 MILE. THEY WILL REPLACE THE RADIATOR IF I PAY A DEDUCTIBLE OD $1000.00.. WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A MANUFACTURE ERROR.? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME I CAN NOT AFFORD TO DRIVE THIS CAR OR PAY SUCH HIGH DEDUCTIBLE. NISSAN NEEDS TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR.... I HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT FIXED BECAUSE THEY WANT ME TO PAY $1000.00. WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO HAVING NO FUEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS. THE CONTACT LATER RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY NOTIFICATION FROM THE MANUFACTURER FOR VEHICLES UNDER 72,000 MILES THAT HAD EXPERIENCED THE FUEL TANK FAILURE HOWEVER, THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WAS OVER THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF NOTIFICATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

MY NISSAN 2007 XTERRA HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. I FIRST NOTICED IN LATE AUGUST OF 2010 MY SERVICE E GINE SOON LIGHT (SES) COME ON AND IT WAS NOT UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER I TOOK IN MY CAR AND WAS TOLD MY FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I HAVE BEEN NOW DOING RESEARCH AND HAVE JUST LEARNED THAT MANY OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I AM. MY GAUGE WILL MARK EMPTY AFTER I HAVE FILLED UP MY TANK AND SHOW A FULL TANK AT ABOUT 50 MILES AFTER I HAVE FILLED UP THE TANK. MY GAUGE WILL ALSO GO ON E WHEN IT IS AT 1/4 OF A TANK AND EVEN AT A HALF TANK NEVER KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE TANK. I ALSO READ ONLINE THAT THE 2007 XTERRAS HAVE A RECALL ON THE FUEL SYSTEM AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED TO ANYONE WHO IS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND COULD END IN ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS. LETS SEE IF THIS HAPPENS AND WE ALL GET IT REPLACED AS I ALSO FOUND THIS INFORMATION ONLINE FROM A WEBSITE. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW ONE THAT HAS A MODIFIED FLOAT ARM. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE MARCH 22, 2010.
