2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

MY NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL GAUGE HAS STOPPED WORKING- I CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL AND I WAS SUPPOSEDLY NOT COVERED BUT THEY CAN CHECK IT FOR 100 BUCKS UP FRONT TO MAKE SURE. *TR

VEHICLE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK. WHEN I FILL UP THE TANK THE GAUGE WILL SHOW FULL, AND THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. THEN AS THE FUEL IS USED UP THE LIGHT WILL COME ON EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS 3/4 FULL. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL GAUGE IS INOPERATIVE. NISSAN RECALLED UNITS IN THIS MODEL YEAR FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT MY CASE WAS DENIED. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) NOTIFIED NISSAN OF OUR VEHICLE HAVING THE RECALL PROBLEM WITH OUR 2006 FRONTIER XE. NHTSA CAMPAIGN # 10V075000. NISSAN STATES THAT OUR TRUCK'S VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AT THIS TIME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND TESTING SHOWS THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT AS THE PROBABLE CAUSE. WE CALLED NISSAN AT 800-647-7261 TWICE. BOTH TIMES WE WERE GIVEN A REF. # [XXX] . WE NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS WE HAVE...MY HUSBAND JUST RAN OUT TODAY GOING TO THE STORE AND THE FUEL GAGE SHOWED THAT WE HAD GAS. VERY FRIGHTENING. THANK GOODNESS HE WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY!!!!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER PICKUP ID # [XXX] . I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT ROTORS AT 20,000 MILES AND NOW AT 40,000 MILES I AM HAVING TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT AND REAR ROTORS. I AM 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE NOT CHANGED MY DRIVING STYLE. THESE BRAKES SEEM TO BE WEARING OUT AT ABOUT THREE TIMES THE RATE OF THE BRAKES OF ANY PREVIOUS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE KNOWN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PERFORM A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EQUIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENT BOLTS AND CAMS. THEY HAVE TO BE PURCHASED AT THE DEALER. THE OWNER FEELS THESE PARTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF ALIGNMENT CAUSING THE TIRES TO WEAR UNEVENLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,000. *FB UPDATED10/28/10 *BF UPDATED 11/01/10

AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER STARTED READING "EMPTY" NO MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE TANK, AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON CONTINUOUSLY. THE FUEL SENSOR WAS REPLACED WITH A "REVISED" UNIT AND NOW AT 46,000 MILES, IT IS READING "EMPTY" ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY REPORT FUEL LEVEL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL BUT NISSAN SAYS IT ONLY FOR SPECIFIC VIN'S AND THAT NOT ALL ARE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR AS WELL. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, CODE IS P0463 - FUEL HIGH LEVEL SENSOR. THE TRUCK IS A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER WITH 34,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE IS A TECH BULLETIN, NO RECALL. *TR
