MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA OFF ROAD ADDITION WAS RUNNING FINE, HAD NO MAJOR ISSUES. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR SUDDENLY STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE AND THEY READ A CODE PO463 WITH THEIR ECU READER. WITH SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS TO BE A FUEL SENDING UNIT/FUEL LEVEL ISSUE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, SOME SORT OF CORROSION ISSUE AND IT WOULD BE AROUND $500-700 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I ENDED UP DOING REPAIRS (REPLACED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT) MYSELF TO SAVE MONEY, BUT I THINK IF THIS IS A "COMMON PROBLEM" PERHAPS A RECALL IS IN ORDER? *TR

1. (THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE)-I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP BECAUSE MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA WAS LESS THAN 1/4 TANK FULL. I FILLED IT UP ALL THE WAY AND DROVE OFF. I LOOKED AT THE GAS GAUGE AND IT STILL READ UNDER 1/4 TANK. SOON AFTER THE SES (SERVICE ENGINE SOON) LIGHT CAME ON. 2. (THE FAILURE, HOW OFTEN IT OCCURS, ITS CONSEQUENCES)- I LOOKED UP ONLINE WHAT THE POSSIBLE ISSUE COULD BE. IN SEARCHING OVER SEVERAL FORUMS, AND OVER 100 COMPLAINTS, I FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE ERROR CODE: P0463 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR). IT OCCURS EVERYDAY. THE CONSEQUENCES, I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK. AS A MATTER OF FACT. I RAN OUT OF GAS SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH SOMEONE HELPED ME GET FUEL. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. 3. (WHAT WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE FAILURE) I HAVE DONE NOTHING SO FAR, BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE, THAT IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS ROUGHLY A $600 REPAIR ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY NISSAN. I ONLY HAVE 51,513 MILES ON MY 2005 NISSAN XTERRA. *TR
