Problems with 2007 Nissan Frontier FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

I have a 2007 frontier and had a problem with the fuel gauge. i filled the truck and the gas gauge went to empty. after driving for 10-15 minutes it would float up to near the full mark, but then it would drop back down to half full. this failure caused the check engine light to come on and this in turn automatically failed my emissions test. *tr

The gas gauge gives a false reading and is unreliable. it has been diagnosed by nissan as a defect with the fuel level sensor. this is the exact same problem that occurs with the nissan pathfinders. the frontier is a pathfinder with a truck body. yet nissan has only recalled the pathfinders. the recall needs to be extended to cover the frontiers as well. *tr

Gas gauge stuck on 1/4 tank. *tr

The fuel level sending unit in my 2007 nissan frontier shorted out on june 22, 2010. i brought the vehicle to my dealer on june 24, 2010. the dealer informed me that the although nissan has recalled this part on some vehicles, that my vehicle is not covered by the recall. this is a known defect which resulted in the recall of 2006 and 2008 models of my vehicle model as well as other models of nissan vehicles using the same part for 2006 to 2008, inclusive (armada and titan models). i am astounded that such a recall would exclude vehicles with same part and same history of part failure. this is especially surprising since the recall was issued for other models of my year, just not my model. if the part is failing and is a enough of a safety issue to issue a recall for other models in the same year and for the same model in other years, why would it not be considered enough of a safety issue for my model year? does the nhtsa plan to initiate an investigation of why nissan is excluding my model in the recall for the fuel level sender unit? *tr

I had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. after filling up my gas tank, i turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. after driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. i went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. after returning home and doing research, i went online to x.nissanhelp.com after performing a search, i came across many others who have experienced the same problem. apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. a similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger. it seems that something in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. there is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 2 yrs and with around 39k-49k. if this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. cost of repair ranges from $300-600." *tr

Drove the truck with the low fuel warning light on for several miles. upon filling up the tank, the low fuel light remained on and needle showed empty. shortly afterward, the service engine light came on. mil code is p0463 - fuel level sensor problem. resetting the code works for a few days but then the mil light comes back on. the gas gauge is erratic, sometimes showing empty when it's not. so we have to track the approximate fuel remaining by using the trip odometer. *tr

2007 nissan frontier fuel sensor problem. many reports of this online and apparently nissan recalled the 2006 and 2008 for the same problem (code p0463). *tr

Fuel gauge don't work on 2007 nissan frontier. it is the sending unit. *tr

2007 nissan, frontier...fuel gauge went out after 42,000 mile.... why? is there any more out there. *tr

Nissan has recalled 2006 and 2008 frontier for gas tank sending units which would show 1/4 tank of fuel but empty,2007's are having this problem but nissan is refusing to recall them. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated the fuel sending unit failed and was causing the vehicle to read inaccurate fuel levels. the failure would occur whenever the contact was refueling the vehicle. the manufacturer advised the contact to have the dealer perform a diagnostic test at his expense and would not provide any further assistance. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 55,000. updated 12/15/10. *lj the consumer stated the fuel gauge would read empty. updated 12/27/10

Fuel gauge in 2007 nissan frontier....one minute i have a full tank next its empty. fill the truck up and gauge says i'm only 1/4 full. i see there was a recall for the 2006 and 2008 for the same reason. did they make a change for 2007 then went back to the old way in 2008. dealership is saying the part alone is $540 bucks and recall does not cover the 2007 models. *tr

I have a nissan 2007 frontier that i bought new back in nov. 2007. this vehicle has a bad gas pump sensor that make a warning on the panel( engine problem ) because of this problem i am unable to read how much gas is left. it always mark the tank as empty. when i took it to the dealer, they stated that because my car vin# was not on the recalls i could do anything. i am unable to travel interstate or long distances. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 35 mph, the fuel light illuminated, indicating that there was no fuel in the vehicle. even when the fuel tank was full, the light would illuminate. the vehicle had not been inspected at the time of the complaint. when the contact called the manufacturer, he was informed that the vehicle was not included in recall 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: auxiliary tank) and all repair expenses would have to be paid out of pocket. the failure mileage was approximately 49,000. the current mileage was approximately 50,000.

After filling gas tank: the fuel gauge immediately registered "empty" and continued reading same. current to date, no changes in reading. its' consequences are on-going that a serious incident could occur on the highway by running out of fuel, loosing control of the vehicle. this is a current failure, and has not had repaired or replaced. should be a manufacturer's recall for repairs. faulty, and could be unsafe. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that in early may 2010, the contact filled the vehicle with fuel but the check engine light illuminated and the fuel gauge indicated that the fuel tank was only a quarter to half full. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealership where the contact was informed that the fuel sending unit was defective. the dealer stated that the parts were unavailable for the repair and the vehicle was not included in any related recalls. the contact called the manufacturer who offered no assistance. the vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. the failure mileage was approximately 38,500. the current mileage was approximately 40,000. updated 07/29/10 *bf updated 07/30/10*jb

After filling up the gas tank, the gas gauge does not work. it will either read empty or have an erratic reading. nissan had a recall for these units for 2006, 2008, and 2009, but not 2007, which is the year of my nissan frontier. my unit failed just like the recalled units, but nissan will not replace this obviously defective unit. the dealer will not replace the unit because it is 3 months out of warranty. *tr

I own a 2007 nissan frontier le. the fuel gauge sticks at 1/4 tank when the fuel level is low even though the tank is nearly empty. when refilling the tank the gauge stayed at 1/4 tank for a couple of miles before it came back to full. as of the last fill up the gauge is still reading 1/4. also the service engine soon light is lit. i have read about recall involving the fuel gauge for 2006 and 2008 frontiers and contacted nissan consumer affairs. they informed me that my 2007 is not part of the recall. i've read numerous accounts of 2007 models having the same problems as the 2006 and 2008 models so i am very displeased that nissan is not including 2007s. it seems to be such a common problem that i should not have to pay to have it fixed. there is clearly a fault in the part or design. *tr

The fuel gauge on my 2007 nissan frontier has also stopped working correctly. as with others that have reported this issue, upon filling the tank the gauge will read empty and then during the drive it acts erratically and sometimes it will read correctly one minute and the next thing you know it's on empty again. its very frustrating to know this was a recall in other years yet nissan won't man up and fix these issues. i won't buy another nissan because of the way they are handling this or should i say not handling this. it's a safety issue if you run out of gas when your gauge is obviously faulty and telling you there's fuel in the vehicle. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier just turned 43,000 miles and like so many others my fuel level sending unit went out,was told mine wasn't on recall list yet. *tr

Yesterday morning the fuel gauge in my 2007 nissan frontier 4 x 4 (approximately 46,000 miles) appeared to work normally when it showed perhaps 30 miles left to drive before empty. it took almost 20 gallons to fill it up. after filling up fully, the fuel gauge showed about a quarter of a tank and the "service engine soon" light came on. today the fuel gauge shows about 5/8ths of a tank left, with my having driven about 10 miles since filling up. it seems the 2007 nissan frontiers have the same problem as the 2006 and 2008 models that are being recalled. unless nissan changed parts or design in 2007, it makes no sense why the fuel gauge problem of 2006 should have skipped 2007 and reappeared in 2008! (with regard to my truck, nothing has been done to correct the fuel gauge failure. the problem looks to be persistent, and the safety issue of running out of gas in traffic is the same as for the to-be-recalled 2006 and 2008 models). *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated while traveling at speeds of 45 mph, the vehicle stalled. the fuel gauge sensor failed causing inaccurate fuel level readings. the contact was unaware that there was no fuel in the vehicle. the dealer advised replacing the fuel level sensor. the manufacturer advised there were no recalls for the failure and would not provide any assistance. any repairs made to the vehicle would be at the owner's expense. the failure mileage was 75,000.

2007 nissan frontier fuel sensor gauge not working properly. vehicle gauge shows empty, check engine light comes on and low fuel light, all this with plenty of gas in tank.sometimes fuel gauge will show 3/4 full and after gauge gets around 1/2 full, the gauge will drop to empty. never sure how much fuel is in tank. would not want to run out of gas and cause a crash. nissan has recalls for the 2006 and 2008 frontier for the same issue. nissan offered me $250.00 towards the repairs at their dealership. i am not sure why the 2007 model's are not included in the recalls. nissan is obviously aware of other year vehicles with the same problem and do not want to fix their defect at no charge to the customer. *tr

I own a 2007 nissan frontier xe pick up. after filling up with gas on 2/28/2010 i noticed that my fuel gauge did not move to the full mark. the fuel gauge eventually (after about 30 minutes of driving) began to move to about the 3/4 full mark. my wife took the vehicle into the dealer on 3/1/2010 for a strange engine noise and to determine the problem with the fuel gauge. the service manager from the dealer informed me that there was a problem with the fuel gauge sending unit. i authorized the dealer to complete the repair,(3/3/2010) the cost was $474.38. the next day a friend called to tell me that they heard of a nhtsa recall on certain nissan models regarding the fuel gauge malfunctioning. i consulted your website and in reading the summary of the recall discovered that it was very similar if not exact to the symptoms my vehicle had demonstrated. i called nissan and furnished my vin fully expecting my vehicle to be included in the recall. unfortunately nissan insisted my vin was not covered in the recall. i appealed within their company asking them to consider covering the cost of the repair since the defect so closely mirrored the recall even though my vin was technically excluded from the recall. they refused to offer any assistance towards my repair costs. i realize that i am asking a large company to show integrity since they are secure that my vin is excluded, but i thought they would honor my request given the nature of my repair and the recall. is there anything nhtsa can do to assist me in this? it seems a shame that even though my vehicle demonstrated nearly exact symptoms of the recall, they can deny responsibility because for whatever reason my vin is not included in the recall at this time. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier xe. i had about 1/4 tank of gas when i decided to fill it up. started my truck and my gas gauge read 0 and my check engine light came on. after driving a while, my gas gauge started to read a little level. as i drove the level would come up slowly until it finally read a full tank. after this happened to me, i heard about a recall nissan was issuing on vehicles with the same symptoms, all due to a faulty fuel level sending unit called nissan to see if my truck qualified for the recall fuel level sending unit and it didn't. nissan customer service told me to take the truck into the dealership to get a diagnostic test run to check and see if indeed the fuel level sending unit need repair. the test the dealership ran did indeed confirm that the fuel level sending unit was faulty. nissan told me they would log my complaint but would not pay to fix it because my truck wasn't cover under the recall even though my truck has the same problem as the other recalled vehicles. *tr

I own a 2007 nissan frontier xe and my fuel sending unit is going bad resulting in me running out of fuel on us i35 with a near rear ending. there are many recalls for this vehicle but mine does not apply for some reason.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the driver stated that the fuel gauge would read inaccurate fuel levels. when gasoline was added to the fuel tank, the fuel indicator would read empty. the check engine light constantly remained illuminated on the warning panel. the dealer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. the failure mileage was 50,000 and the current mileage was 51,000. updated 05/12/10 *bf updated 05/14/10.*jb

I have a 2007 nissan frontier. recently, when i would fill up the gas tank, the gas gauge would not move and the check engine light would come on. after traveling for about 30-45 minutes, the gas gauge would move up to full, but the check engine light would stay on. i can disconnect the battery, and the gas gauge works correctly and the check engine light goes out. all is normal until i fill up the gas tank again, and same problem. i went today to get my nc vehicle inspection, and it failed due to the check engine light, and when they put the obdii tester on, it gave them a p0463 code. after reading all the comments on the internet, it seems it is a common problem with nissan's. it should be covered by nissan, as they have done for other models with the same problem. *tr

Filled up at gas station. fuel gauge continued reading 1/4 tank. 10 miles later it was at 1/2. in another 30 minutes of driving it was at full. later that night, the service enigine soon light came on and stayed on. *cn

I have a 2007 nissan frontier v6 4x4 with 50,000 miles. like so many others i have a problem with the fuel gauge reading incorrectly after filling up. now the service engine soon light is on. had no idea so many others had the same problem. *tr

At about 41,000 miles, just outside of warranty, fuel gauge stopped working after i filled gas tank up. it will occasionally work now but not all the way. now i can not trust the fuel gauge. nissan shop employees said this is a common problem. it is a fuel gauge sensor and will cost over 500 dollars to repair. i have found numerous complaints about this on the internet. this is a major safety issue. if i was traveling with my family and ran out gas at night on the highway, anything could happen before i got help. *tr

I have a nissan frontier 2007, its only 2 years old and its having a problem with the fuel sending unit which costs 300-600 dollars to replace, but many others are having the same problem, i went to: http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/xterra/4151-fuel-gauge-problem-service-engine-soon-light.html and it shows that im not the only one. nissan should have a recall because alot of other cars have the same issue. it could also prove to be dangerous because the fuel gauge does not work and the vehicle might run out of gas while moving at high speeds. *tr

Model year 2007 make nissan model frontier component* fuel gage system the fuel sending unit has quit working which causes the fuel gauge to give false readings. 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 covering 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. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier with 41000 miles on it. at 39000 miles the fuel gauge started malfunctioning and the check engine light came on. when i fill up with gasoline, the fuel gauge remains at empty with the empty gas tank light on. occasionally the gauge kicks up but dies down again. on 9/9/09 i took the car to the nissan dealership and they diagnosed the problem as fuel gauge sensor needs replacement. they wanted over $500 fix the problem. i have seen a lot of complains on the internet about this and so i called nissan consumer affairs and they promised to look into a "goodwill" repair of the problem. however they called me today to say they will not pay for the part to be replaced. this problem, i never know how much fuel i have in the tank and i just keep filling it up every couple of days. i am afraid the gasoline will ran out when on the roadside and put me and my family in danger of an accident or burglary or worse. *tr

2007 nissan frontier nismo faulty gas sensor in tank. known recall on 2006 and 2008 models. shows an empty tank when full and empty. unless you are keeping up with mileage, you don't know if you will run out of gas on the freeway. this can cause accidents. nissan is aware of the same issue in 2006 and 2008 frontier trucks. for some reason, they will not assume responsibility for the 2007 models. i talked with the dealer and they are aware of the issue but cannot take care of the problem. it will cost me over $500 to replace this. my check engine light stays on, can't be reset until this is fixed. *tr

I have a 2007 nissan frontier pick up truck that i bought new.it has approximately 57k miles on it. about 6 months ago, the fuel sending gauge began malfunctioning. after a fuel fill up it would register full however after a few minutes it would drop to the empty position and the service engine light would come on ( it is still on now). i took it to the dealer and he informed me that it would cost $650 to repair. since it was not covered under warranty and i didn't have the money to pay for it, i didn't have it repaired. i googled some information regarding the nissan fuel sending unit to see if i could make the repair myself and found that many other owners of nissan products have had this same problem. i'm more than a little frustrated that the dealer never mentioned this as a problem. i have a daughter who uses this truck at james madison university. i've told her to check the tripometer etc but i'm afraid that she will forget and at some point run out of gas. this presents a major concern for my wife and me. *tr

I filled up my tank from empty and the fuel guage continued to read as empty. the next day it read as half full even though it was still full. now it reads empty again dispite still being full and the service engine soon light is now on. *tr

Fuel sensing unit on my '07 frontier went out. though i'm reading many reports now of fuel gauges that don't rise to "full" at fill-up, mine was the opposite. after a few episodes of "check engine" light coming on, then clearing itself, i was heading down highway in the center lane during rush hour. though my gauge said 1/4 tank,in fact i was out of gas, lost power, and had to coast as i made my way in heavy traffic over to the shoulder. it wouldn't start til a buddy brought a can of gas, then it started right up. dealership diagnosed it as a toasted fsu, but because the truck was just out of warranty, i had to shell out $407.00 bucks to get it replaced. this issue is more than an inconvenience and an unnecessary expense...it's downright dangerous for someone caught in a situation when the fsu fails, and they can't maneuver out of a situation because of the loss of power. in my opinion, this failure, which i'm now learning is quite common, demands a recall. and if a recall is issued, how about a reimbursement for those of us who have already had to deal with this? *tr

Fuel sensor problem 2007 frontier -47,000 mile. after filling the tank, the fuel gauge drops to empty, the low fuel warning light comes on, and service engine soon light comes on. this is a common recurring problem with nissan models and because it is not a true safety issue, nissan does not feel the necessity to issue a recall. *tr

I have a 2007 frontier king cab nismo with 56,000 miles on it. put fuel in it today and the fuel gauge will not rise above half full. then the check engine soon light came on. a few miles later the gauge plunged to empty with the low fuel light on. on my return trip the gauge moved up to half with the service engine soon light on. it appears from my research that the fuel sending unit is bad and that numerous owners are experiencing this same expensive issue. apparently this can cause the fuel to stop being sent and potentially lead to a serious accident. my call to the deal will be tomorrow am. this should be a recall issue as xterra's were recalled for this same issue in prior model years. just two weeks ago i had a abs sensor replaced at $400. the rear end was dropped at two weeks old to fix another sensor and on and on. this truck has not been reliable and i would not recommend any nissan product at this point! it does not go more than 2 months without something going wrong with it. help! *tr
