2006 NISSAN FRONTIER Complaints

2006 NISSAN FRONTIER NISMO'S FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC. IT STARTED AT ABOUT 37,000 MILES, BUT I IGNORED IT BECAUSE I HAD ALLOWED THE WARNING LIGHT TO GO ON AND THOUGHT THAT AFTER A FEW FILL UPS IT WOULD REGISTER CORRECTLY, BUT IT DID NOT LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER, ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE, ASKED FOR OVER $400 TO REPAIR, WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. NOW I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING THE TANK AFTER EVERY 200 -250 MILES FEARING I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS AGAIN. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS AS IT CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD SUCH AS WHEN I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON THE TURNPIKE. *TR

AT 41,000MILES MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER V6 BEGAN HAVING A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL SENDING UNIT CAUSING IMPROPER READING OF THE FUEL GAUGE. UPON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I REALIZED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AFFECTING NISSANS WITH THE 4.0L V6 IN XTERRA'S, PATHFINDERS AND FRONTIERS. THIS USUALLY OCCURS BETWEEN 39K-49K MILES. NISSAN HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS AND I FEEL THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD CONSIDERING THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS MISREADING. NISSAN WANTS THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PAY $450 FOR A PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE ON THEIR PART. TR

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY AFTER FILLING UP FOLLOWED BY 'SERVICE ENGINE' LIGHT COMING ON AND STAYING ON. HAVE RESEARCHED ON INTERNET AND NUMEROUS OTHER COMPLAINTS AS WELL AS VERIFIED BY MY DEALER (BANKSTON NISSAN, LEWISVILLE, TX). COST TO REPAIR $500. *TR

ERROR CODE PO463 COMES UP ON CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. FUEL LEVEL SENSOR MALFUNCTIONING GAS GAUGE STILL REMAINS AT EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THE TANK IS FULL. SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH NISSAN TRUCKS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WITH 41,000 MILES MY 2006 NISSAN FRONTIER IS GIVING ME AN INCORRECT GAS GAUGE READING. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH NISSAN THAT THEY ARE NOT ADDRESSING. *TR

THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS QUIT WORKING FOR THE SECOND TIME WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO GIVE FALSE READINGS. NISSAN REPLACED THE UNIT WHEN IT QUIT AT 10000 MILES UNDER WARRANTY BUT, NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE UNIT IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. AFTER TALKING WITH SEVERAL OWNERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE I FOUND OUT WE ARE ALL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE UNITS. NISSAN DOES SEEM TO BE FIXING THE PROBLEM BUT, JUST COVING IT UP. AFTER TALKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY DO NOT WANT TO TRY TO COVER IT, THEY WANT ME TO PAY $400 FOR PARTS AND LABOR WHICH I AM NOT GOING TO DO. BESIDES THE FACT THAT $100 FOR PARTS AND $300 FOR LABOR IS OUTRAGEOUS I AM NOT GOING TO REPLACE THIS PART JUST HAVE IT FAIL AGAIN. THIS PART SHOULD BE ON A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AND NOT A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED 2, 3, OR 4 TIMES OR EVEN AT 10000 MILES. NOW MY PROBLEM IS THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE USING MORE GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE BEEN GOING OFF OF THE MILEAGE BECAUSE I KNOW MY VEHICLE WILL DO A LITTLE OVER 400 MILES ON A TANK OF GAS BUT, IT LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD AT 11:30 AT NIGHT WITH 352 MILES SHOWING. MY GIRLFRIEND ALSO HAS TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK AND I FEAR HER SAFETY WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. SHE COULD GET STUCK IN A BAD NEIGHBORHOOD OR IN DALLAS, TX TRAFFIC IT IS NOT EASY TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN IT RUNS OUT OF GAS. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM SETS OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE INSPECTION IS OUT. THEY WILL NOT LET THE VEHICLE PASS WITH THIS ON. *TR

ONE DAY WITHOUT WARNING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FUEL LEVEL GAUGE BECAME INCORRECT AND ERRATIC. THIS HAPPENED AT APPROX 38000 MILE JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE MY FUEL GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 TANK AND THERE WAS NONE. HAVING TO FILL MY VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
