2006 NISSAN FRONTIER HAS A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND THE GAS GAUGE WORKS SPORADICALLY. THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AND SHUT DOWN AND POSSIBLY CAUSE A CRASH. *TR

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER XE 4 CYLINDER MANUAL TRANS. AT APPROXIMATELY 35,000 MILES MY FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AFTER FILLING UP, AND READ EMPTY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN BEHAVING ERRATICALLY, SOMETIMES READING CORRECTLY WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, BUT ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONING AT APPROXIMATELY HALF TANK, CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THEN IT CEASED TO FUNCTION AT ALL WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. NISSAN OF SANTA ROSA TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MY Q CERTIFIED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY 100,000 MILES OR 2 YEARS. NISSAN TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM, AND THE SENSOR INSIDE THE GAS TANK NEEDED REPLACEMENT, AT MY CHARGE. ALSO, I CANNOT HAVE MY EVAP EMISSIONS SYSTEM RECALL WORK PERFORMED UNTIL THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM PROBLEM IS FIXED. AS A RESULT I CANNOT COMPLETE MY VEHICLE REGISTRATION FOR THIS YEAR. I DEMAND A RECALL OF THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR THE 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER. THANK YOU. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB 4X4 HAD THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (SES) COME ON AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL AROUND 46,800 MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED TO WORK AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER BUT THE LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF FOR THE SES. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED AND SERVICED ABOVE AND BEYOND ALL MANUFACTURER REQUIREMENTS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN SEPT OF 2006 , SO IT IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD BUT SINCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 36,000 MILES I CAN NOT GO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE. I ALSO HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PAINT ISSUES, FADING, CHIPPING AND RUST ON THIS TRUCK AND HAVE , AS STATED BEFORE ALWAYS TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT. *TR

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS LOWER THAN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I ALL MOST HIT A TREE BECAUSE OF DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THE BRAKE PEDAL SHOULD BE AT LEAST 4.1 INCHES FROM THE FLOOR. MY TRUCK IS ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM THE FLOOR. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS OK. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING. I HAD TROUBLE GETTING THINGS REPAIR WITH THIS DEALER, PIEDMONT NISSAN. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR ON MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER CREW CAB STOPPED WORKING RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD WAS UP. IT STARTED FLUCTUATING AND GIVING FALSE READINGS, THEN STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. SINCE THE FUEL SENSOR IS TIED TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN A SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER UNTIL THE ITEM WAS REPAIRED. TO REPAIR THIS, THE FUEL TANK HAD TO BE REMOVED. THIS COST ME 400 TO FIX. I BELIEVE THE UNIT TO BE DEFECTIVE, AS I HAVE BEEN SEEING MORE CONSUMERS WHO PURCHASED THIS TRUCK LOGGING THE SAME COMPLAINT. FURTHERMORE, I HAVE A FEAR THAT IS THE UNIT IS SHORTING OUT, IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. AFTER ALL, IT SITS ON TOP OF A 20 GALLON FUEL TANK. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON AFTER EVERY FILL UP OF FUEL. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW AN ACCURATE READING FOR APPROXIMATELY 1-2 DAYS. SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND NISSAN SHOULD MAKE IT RIGHT. *TR
