2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

I FILLED UP MY TRUCK AND THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT RESPOND PROPERLY. IT MAY TELL ME I HAVE MORE OR LESS GAS THAN I ACTUALLY DO. I CAN TURN THE KEY OFF AND RECRANK THE ENGINE AND HAVE A DIFFERENT READING. RECENTLY IT CAUSED MY SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT TO COME ON. ALSO IF I AM DRIVING A LONG DISTANT THE GAUGE SOMETIMES WILL GO FROM EMPTY AND START GOING TO FULL AS I DRIVE. *TR

MY STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP. IT WOBBLES ABOUT 1/2 TO 1 INCH IN EACH DIRECTION. THE CAR STILL STEERS OK BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT IT WILL FAIL WHILE I'M DRIVING. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT AND THEY SAY IT WILL COST $400 TO CHECK AND REPLACE IT. I SEE THIS REPORTED ON NUMEROUS FORUMS AS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR
