2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

WHEN IN REVERSE AND REQUIRED TO LOOK OVER YOUR RIGHT SHOULDER AND BODY/FOOT IS POSITIONED SLIGHTLY TO RIGHT AND BRAKE IS APPLIED HARD TO STOP WILL CAUSE THE GAS PEDAL TO BE DEPRESSED AT SAME TIME CAUSING VEHICLE TO SURGE BACKWARDS AT A FAST SPEED. THE ABOVE APPLIES TO THE AUTOMATIC MODEL AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE CRUSHED AGAINST A BUILDING OR RUN OVER A PEDESTRIAN. THE SAME COULD WOULD APPLY IF VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND BODY IS POSITIONED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AS FOOT BRAKE IS APPLIED QUICKLY. *TR

06 NISSAN FRONTIER FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED, 460,000 MILES. THE GAS GAUGE SHOWS 1/4 FULL WHEN I JUST PUT IN A FULL TANK OF GAS. IT SHOULD SHOW A FULL TANK OF GAS, BUT IT DOESN'T IT JUST SHOWS A 1/4 TANK FULL. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. I'M SURELY NOT THE ONLY PERSON TOO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? *TR

06 FRONTIER FUEL SENDING UNIT GONE HAYWIRE. GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE COMPLAINTS W/SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN DOESN'T SEEM TO WORRIED ABOUT THE PROBLEM, SEEING THERE IS NO RECALL. SURE HOPE ME OR MY FAMILY IS NOT STUCK IN A VULNERABLE SITUATION BECAUSE OF IT. I'M HEARING THAT ITS A SHORT IN THE WIRING OF THE UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK THAT DOESN'T SOUND TO GOOD TO ME. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. PROBLEM WITH SERVICE ENGINE SOON(SES) LIGHT, NAPA DIAGNOSED ISSUE WITH A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS ISSUE DID INITIATE A RECALL ON 2005 NISSAN VEHICLES (SYSTEMIC TO ALL), BUT NOT FOR LATER MODELS (LIKE MINE). COST OF REPAIR: $400 OR MORE AT A DEALERSHIP, AT LEAST $250 NON-DEALERSHIP. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY IF OVER 30K MILES. PROBLEM TYPICALLY OCCURS AFTER 2-3 YEARS OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER, MY GAS GAUGE AND VEHICLE COMPUTER THAT READS THE GAS LEVEL IS NOT WORKING. IT LEFT MY NEW BORN BABY BOY AND WIFE ON THE SIDE OF I-95 IN PORT ORANGE FLORIDA BECAUSE IT SHOWED GAS IN THE TANK WHEN THERE WAS NONE. UPON DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OCCURS IN MANY NISSAN MODEL SPREAD OUT AROUND THE YEAR OF OUR TRUCK. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE DEALER THOUGH A RECALL ON THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM BUT ONE THAT REACHES MANY NISSAN OWNERS. *TR THANK YOU

FUEL TANK GAUGE BECOMES ERRATIC, NO WAY TO DETERMINE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE NO RECALL ISSUED BUT NISSAN HAS ISSUED A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN TSB: NTB07069. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER LE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN I FILL UP MY TRUCK THE FUEL GAUGE FALLS BELOW EMPTY AND THE LIGHT GOES ON . AT TIMES IT SAYS THAT I HAVE MORE GAS THAN I REALLY DO. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT NISSAN IS SELLING ALL THEIR TRUCKS AND SUV'S WITH FAULTY SYSTEMS. I REPLACED THE FUEL CAP IN HOPES THAT WOULD HELP. *TR

I AM AN OWNER OF 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREWCAB SE. SINCE DAY ONE AT RANDOM WHILE FILLING THE FUEL TANK IT PUKES GAS OUT ONTO SIDE OF TRUCK, GROUND AND ME. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY TRUCK WERE JERKS, SAID IT WAS THE PUMP DESIGN AT THE STATION. JUST DISMISSED ME, "TRY ANOTHER STATION." I HAVE SINCE TALKED TO OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS A HEALTH, SAFETY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. *TR

FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONS WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL. WHEN THE TANK IS FULLY FILLED, THE GAUGE INDICATES EMPTY AND THE GAS LIGHT REMAINS ON. OTHER TIMES THE GAUGE READS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS, MOSTLY HALF FULL OR ONE QUARTER TANK. *TR

DROVE HOME FROM WORK WITH 1/4 OF TANK... WENT TO FILL IT ALL THE WAY FULL.... STARTED ENGINE, SERVICE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TURNED ON... AND NOTICED THE TANK IS NOT REGISTERING ITS FULL... STARTED DRIVING... AFTER A MILE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND LOW FUEL LIGHT TURNED ON... WENT HOME AND DID SOME RESEARCH... AND IM SURPRISED ITS NOT JUST ME THAT HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.... WE NEED TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR
