Problems with 2007 Nissan Frontier FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact stated that the fuel gauge would read inaccurate fuel levels. the failure would occur intermittently. the dealer diagnosed the failure as a defective fuel tank cap and replaced it accordingly but the failure persisted. although there was a recall for the failure (nhtsa campaign id number 10v075000- fuel system, gasoline: storage: auxiliary tank) the vin was not included. the manufacturer offered to reduce the repair costs. the vehicle had not been repaired when the complaint was filed. the failure mileage was 90,000 and the current mileage was 129,000.

I just bought my 2007 nissan frontier le with 60,000 miles. while driving it home i noticed that the fuel gauge was not going all the way up even though i had just filled the tank completely. then the gauge just dropped all the way to empty and the empty light came on along with the "service engine soon" light and the dte (distance to empty) light started to flash. i have not yet had this problem repaired but will within the next week. *tr

2007 nissan frontier with 45,000 miles developed "service engine soon" light when filled up with gasoline. code shown when read was "fuel sending unit high output". after research with several nissan dealers, an approximate repair cost of $600 was given, including a $100 diagnostic fee for reading the codes. i have been running vehicle without a properly operating fuel gauge for approximately 5,000 miles since, due to high cost of repair not available at this time. this is a risk since the fuel gauge drops to empty once tank is below half full. this can result in loss of power components upon vehicle ceasing to operate once out of fuel. this is a recurring defect in similar and past model years that the manufacturer is choosing to ignore once out of warranty. *tr

Fuel gauge is acting very erratic. i top off the tank and the needle reads between 3/4 and full most of the time. after 50-70 miles the gauge reads 1/2 tank. i bought this 2007 used with 3000 miles on it and the problem started after 6 months of ownership. *tr

The fuel gauge acts erratically, i can fill the gas tank up with fuel but the needle still shows that i'm empty. i'm sure it's the fuel sending unit. the vehicle has 44000 miles on it now, and around 38,000 miles when this occurred. the check engine light is on because of this defect. *tr

I filled up my tank and after setting for a minute idling i noticed my gas gauge was below empty and the distance to empty light was on and reading -----. my original thought was that i didn't tighten my gas cap enough, but i always do. a minute later the service engine soon light comes on. i have a 2007 frontier crew cab nismo with 67,000 miles. while driving home the gas gauge slowly worked its way up to just below full and the ses light is still on. i have not driven very much more to see if the gas gauge works properly. i have been checking through my extended warranty, which extends out to 72 months or 100,000 and it does show that the gas sending unit is covered. after visiting the following forum: http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/xterra/4151-fuel-gauge-problem-service-engine-soon-light.html, i noticed many other people with 2005-2007 nissan frontier, xterra and pathfinders are having this same issue and the dealers are charging 400-700 dollars to fix. many of these people are out of their warranty period and have to pay out of pocket. my warranty requires me to pay a 100 dollar deductible. sounds like this fuel sending unit deserves a recall. *tr

Fuel sensor or sending unit is bad on a 07' frontier. fuel gauge drops to empty at 1/4 tank, and also does the same after fill up. takes a while to come back up to full reading. nissan wants me to pay 600.00 for a repair when this is apparently a issue on all of their vehicles. they need to issuer a recall. *tr

Service engine soon light came on at ~55000 miles. when i filled up my gas tank the level did not register correctly and the ses light came on. will go off between 3/4 and 1/4 tank, but comes back on each fill up. found out that this is a common problem on the nissan frontier. mine is a 2007 model. *tr

2007 frontier nissan cheap gas tank... what good does a lock gas cap do? the gas tank is made out of cheap plastic which is very easy for a low life person to puncture with only the point of a pocket knife!!! (the repair person,himself showed me with his own pocket knife how it took no strain to steal my gas.) ( i found out the hard way!!! a low life person had no difficulty at all stealing my gas with just the point of a pocket knife. and with the high prices of gas a lot more of us will also find out the hard way!!! ) to replace my gas tank it cost me about $1,000.00.!!! but even worse!!! my new $1,000.00 gas tank is just like the old gas tank that was punctured with only the point of a pocket knife,by a low life person who already knows where my nissan is parked!!!and how easy it was to steal my gas before!!! hey!!! i can't afford a $1,000.00 every time some low life person steals my gas!!! can you??? i don't think nissan can even afford that!!! either!!! *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan frontier. the contact thought he drove over an object at 60 mph. he immediately smelled gas and pulled over the vehicle. he noticed gas spilling from the middle driver side of the vehicle. the contact jumped back into the vehicle and drove off because he was at a gas station. once far enough from the station, he turned off the engine, waited for the gas to stop leaking, restarted the vehicle, and drove home. the dealer did not make any repairs, but stated that the gas tank needed to be replaced. the failure was caused by an object that struck the aluminum cover and cracked the plastic gas tank. the current and failure mileages were 2,000. updated 02/19/08. *lj the consumer stated the gas tank was made of poor quality plastic material, with a very thin aluminum plate covering. the object that hit the gas tank was small because it marked a four-inch dent on the front side of the gas tank and the small piece of square that was in front of it. updated

When parking '07 nissan frontier into a parking stall, i pressed on the brake pedal to come to a full stop. the engine then started to race and move the truck forward. i already had the brake pedal down to the floor with no response, the truck climb the parking curb and hit a sitgn and then a parked car. couldn't believe that nothing could stop the truck till it hit the car and then the engine stopped racing. i had the insurance adjuster take alook at the truck and made him press the brakes where it went down to the floor. he then had a towing company tow the truck down to the dealership to prevent another accident. dealer had the truck for a week but could not find anything wrong with the truck. they noted that the brake pedal was soft but it should be okay. they could not get the motor to race so they could not do anything. they did all the test that they could but informed me that they can't fix something they cannot find.
