The fuel gauge is not correctly reading the amount of gasoline the tank has. the gauge is reading more or less than what the actual tank has. *tr
I have a 2007 nissan xterra. the problem i have is with the fuel gauge sensor. it started about a year ago and the check engine light comes on and off randomly. not to mention that when i fill up my vehicle the fuel gauge will not sense that its full. it will take a long time or even bottom out showing the light that its empty. i feel that this is very unusual and hard to tell what is wrong with the vehicle. i have been told that it has happen to many other nissan vehicles. *kb
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. the vehicle shut off because it was out of fuel while driving approximately 65 mph. the fuel gauge did not register the amount of fuel that was in the vehicle properly. the contact stated that the fuel sensor was faulty. the contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that nhtsa recall campaign id 10v075000, fuel system, gasoline, storage auxiliary tank was related to the failure; however, her vin was not included. the vehicle will be repaired at the contacts expense. the failure and current mileages were approximately 67,000.
Went to the gas station to fill up my 2007 nissan xterra. afterward, the fuel gauge read 3/4 full instead of 100% full, then a few minutes later dropped below "e" and the "service engine soon" light came on. a simple internet search informed me that this is a very common problem with not only 2007 nissan xterras, but other years as well, due to a faulty part used by nissan in the fuel sending unit. i had the error code pulled (p0463) and it came back to the fuel sending unit. nissan has a technical service bulletin for this code, so they are fully aware of the problem, what the cause of the problem is, and what is necessary to fix it. my car stalled on the freeway the other day in the number two lane, thanks to the fuel sending unit not working properly. i had four children in my car at the time. luckily, there was quite a bit of traffic so the danger level was low considering we were on the freeway, however if we were not in traffic, things would have been much more serious. nissan claims that this is not a safety issue and will therefore not issue a recall, however i strongly disagree and feel that my recent experience proves that a faulty fuel sending unit is a safety issue. i was told by a service rep at my dealership that all 2007s were initially a part of the most recent recall for replacing fuel sending units, however nissan changed the recall to only include certain 2007 xterra vin #s, yet 2006 and 2008 models are a part of the recall. since the recall began, i've been receiving letters every month from my dealership offering to buy the car back from me. this does not sit well with me. *tr
Details of problem: vehicle indicates that gas is remaining in tank(ie. fuel indicator registers that 1/2 tank is remaining, when in fact gas tank is empty. internet search has revealed that this is a very common complaint of nissan xterra owners (2006 through to 2008) and that the company has been installing a faulty fuel sensor in their vehicles for an extended time period. this poses a serious safety hazard on our freeways when the problem first shows itself. (ie. the potential for vehicles stalling out on the freeway due to the uninformed owners lack of awareness that they are running on an empty gas tank!) my attempt to address the problem: i discussed the problem with nissan consumer affairs north america, and nissan canada. i discovered that the company has issued a recall of specific vehicle #'s in the 2006 and 2008 product line. my internet research into consumer complaints about the problem indicates that this specific complaint is much more widespread than nissan is willing to admit. i inquired with nissan canada (wednesday, july 14) to see if there was another avenue through which i could refer this safety problem to nissan, but the receptionist assured me that i had no further recourse. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. while driving at approximately 55 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated. the fuel level gauge dropped from three quarters full to indicate there was only one quarter full. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. the failure mileage was 43,000 and the current mileage was 45,000.
2007 nissan xterra - fuel level sending unit failure - causing fuel gauge to fail with possibility of running out of gas in traffic situation - there is a recall 10v-075 however it is for xterras 2006 and 2008 excluding 2007's for whatever reason - therefore not recalled by nissan. would love to know why... 2007 having the exact same problems would be excluded from this recall. *tr
I had to pay $362.49 for replacing a fuel level sensor in my 2007 nissan xterra. i understand that this is a common problem with these vehicles and that there is a recall on some of these vehicles. however, my model/vin is not covered. how can a recall be allowed to skip from one vin to another if the same part number is used? *tr
I have a 2007 nissan xterra. my fuel sending unit has failed resulting in failure of my fuel gauge. at times the gauge will show no gas at all, and at other times it will stick at partially full. the gauge is never accurate. this presents an enormous safety problem as the chance of running out of gas on a highway or interstate is greatly increased. this exact same issue was deemed a safety hazard that resulted in recall on xterra models before and after 2007, as well as other nissan models made in 2007. if it is a safety hazard for those vehicles, it is a safety hazard for a 2007 xterra! *tr
My nissan xterra is having the fuel gauge problem with the fuel level sending unit. at this time its intermittent. i called nissan and filed a complaint with them they ran my vehicle id # that doesn't show up as one having this problem. they want me to pay for a diagnostic check for the fuel level sending unit and repair. this is a recall item. i was mail a notification r1010 10v-074. *tr
Fuel system, gasoline- i called the nissan consumer line and gave them the information in regards to the fuel system issue. they stated that initially that my vehicle wasn't part of the recall based on my ven# for my 2007 xterra. however, they had me go thru the steps of going to a certified dealership to obtain a diagnostic to confirm that i was having the same problem. after all the work done on this end, nissan stated they would not be responsible for cover the part...even though it is a known issue with their cars the cost is min $400 and i do not have those type of funds readily available as a single mother. i recently ran out of gas on a major highway with my two kids. blessed that i was able to pull over in a timely manner without causing an accident or being in one. nissan needs to take ownership and responsibility for their cars as this is a safety issue and can cause damage to the driver and their family as well as others. *tr
On or about may 20, 2010 i had 1/4 tank of gas and went to fill up. after filling up the gas tank, i turned on the truck and the gas needle did not register as being full. the service engine light came on. i drove about 70 miles and it finally went up to the full mark, but the "ses" light did not go out. about a week later, when i filled the gas tank, i turned the engine on and the needle went to below the "e" mark and the reserve light came on as well as the "ses" light. i took the truck to the nissan dealer and was told that it was the fuel sending unit/sensor and that it would cost about $400 to repair. i was also informed at that time that there is a nation wide backorder on the part that is needed and they had no idea when the part would be in stock. i was also told that there has been a recall for this problem but it does not include my year of vehicle. i own a 2007 xterra with aprox. 38,000 miles. *tr
Nissan xterra 2007 model 1. no specific "event". at roughly 57,000 miles, check engine light came on and fuel gauge stopped working intermittently (shows empty). is getting worse over time. 2. occurs every time vehicle is filled. consequence: do not know how much fuel is in vehicle. 3. not corrected at this time. same problem as recent recall on nissan titan, etc. *tr
2007 nissan xterra check engine light showing error code p0463 (fuel level sensor was malfunctioning). occurs each time i go to the gas station and fill the tank. gauge stays on empty for several days and sometimes drops to empty and the "tank empty" light comes on. after several days of driving the gauge will move back to a higher position. *tr
This an addendum to complaint conf # 10330608. the check engine light is on in concert with tyhe erratic fuel gauge also. *tr
Fuel gauge works erratically, sometimes stays at 1/4 other times will go to 1/2, and never seems to warn of empty. *tr
2007 nissan xterra fuel gauge began by not responding to change in fuel tank after fill-up. then service engine soon light came on. after some driving it came back, but then after filling tank again it did the same thing. after third time it seems to be stuck there at extreme empty with light lit and ses light on. i understand this may be from the fuel sending unit, which i have found from research that many xterra owners are experiencing the same problem. this should be a recall since the part is obviously faulty and could result in an accident when pulling into traffic and running out of gas. *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. 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
My 2007 nissan xterra has a fuel gauge that does not go to full after the tank is filled. the gauge drops to empty and the fuel indicator light goes on indicating low fuel. in addition, the service engine soon message indicator light goes on. this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of crash. there currently is a recall on the 2006 and 2008 models (nhtsa #10v075000) related to a faulty fuel sender float arm causing the instrument panel to mislead. this is very common as there are many complaints of the same issue. *tr
On 4/16/2010 i filled up my 2007 nissan xterra 4x4 with gas. when i started the engine i noticed the fuel gauge only read 1/2 tank and that the "service engine soon" lamp was on. the light has remained on since and i have had to reset the trip mileage everytime i refuel so that i don't run out of gas. i called the dealer and they said most likely it is the fuel level sensor and that they would have to drop the tank and replace the sensor/pump assembly. fine i said, then they told me it would cost around $600, not fine. i decided to shop around because the price was too high. while doing some research online i found out that this is a very common problem and was the cause for recalls on the '02-'03 xterras. if this was a recall in earlier models why has it not been fixed in the later models. i am very upset and do not want to be ripped off for a malfunctioning part. *tr
The fuel sending unit (fsu) on my 2007 nissan xterra is no longer sending fuel level to the dash gauge. nissan has admitted fault on 2006 model years only, and has issued a recall for that year, however the forum i am on for my xterra shows it to be a consistent problem for xterras manufactured from 2005-2008. this has left a number of people stranded with no fuel (including myself in the middle of the freeway) while still showing 1/4 tank of gas. at other times, the gauge will show completely empty after having just been filled completely. dealers are currently charging $400-$500 to repair an obviously defective unit that could result in someone being seriously injured. *tr
Filled fuel tank on april 5, 2010. upon starting vehicle, fuel gauge showed full. five minutes later, fuel gauge slowly moves until it is showing completely empty, and low fuel warning light came on. three days later, the gauge is still showing empty, and the fuel warning light is on. a service engine soon light is also illuminated. today, the gauge moved up and down several times, leaving me no sure way to know what the true level of fuel is. upon taking to a nissan dealership for repair, i was told that it is a common, known problem by nissan, but that i would be responsible for all repair costs. at this time, i have absolutely no way of knowing what level of fuel there is in my vehicle. i cannot believe that nissan would not want to fix a known problem that could result in a vehicle running out of fuel, and possibly causing a crash because the vehicle could not accelerate. *tr
When gas tank gets to 1/4 mark the gas tank empty light comes on the the gas gauge stops working. shortly after the check engine light comes on. the same thing happens when i fill my gas tank up when it is at a 1/2 tank. the gas gauge drops to empty, the gas tank empty light comes on and then the check engine light. there is a recall out from nissan for 2006 and 2008 xterras for the same problem. for some reason nissan skipped their 2007 xterra model on this recall. *tr
Fuel gauge sensor went out. vehcile inaccurately displays that the vehicle still has some fuel. vehicle has stalled due to this issue.
My gas gauge sensor went out at 50,000 miles. the service engine light came on to let me know. the gas gauge is completely in accurate which opens me up to the possibility of becoming stranded. *tr
I have a 2007 nissan xterra, and my son has a 2005 nissan xterra. he has since replaced his fuel tank indicator. mine has just started to indicate more gas then what is actually there. nissan has cherry picked some of the vehicles for recall, while ignoring the bulk of them in an effort minimize cost. this should not be allowed. i only have 39,000 mi. on the odometer. what if i went to pull out into traffic showing a half a tank of gas, but actually none. *tr
1. the fuel gauge on my 2007 nissan xterra seems to be malfunctioning. it does not read the correct amount of gas in the vehicle. currently the vehicle has 49,000 miles. 2. the failure occurs daily. before recognizing the problem, my vehicle ran out of gas while traveling down a busy road in dallas texas. the incident left my vehicle without power steering making it very dangerous to navigate the road. luckily my stalled vehicle was not rear ended (there was not a hazard lane to move onto). i 3. i have contacted nissan north america regarding the issue (case #6762797). they acknowledged a problem with the fuel sending unit. as i understand, a recall has been created to correct the problem. however, it only covers the 2006 and 2008. not the 2007. i now use the trip odometer to calculate the correct amount of fuel in the tank. the engine currently shows a cel (check engine light). it is directly related to the fuel sending unit: po463 fuel level sensor a ckt high input
Service light appears due to fuel gauge. after fueling the vehicle to full, the fuel gauge will read empty and empty fuel light will appear. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. the contact was driving approximately 55 mph and the fuel gauge indicator illuminated. the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate reading of half full, and the fuel tank was consumed to the full capacity. additionally, the fuel gauge reading fluctuated from full to empty. the manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no related recalls. the failure and current mileages were 66,445. updated 07/08/10 *bf the consumer stated the problem with his vehicle has not been resolved. updated 07/09/10.*jb
My fuel gauge started acting weird my service engine light came on so i took my xterra to my mechanic he told me it was a code for (fuel level sending unite) he cleared code. in a few days it was back on. my mechanic told my fuel sending unite needs to be replaced. it is a very costly repair. *dt
I filled up my 2007 nissan xterra at the gas station. when i started driving down the road the fuel gauge showed it was on empty and the service engine soon light came on. after about 100 miles of driving the fuel gauge started to go up. the next time i filled up the car with gas the same problem happened. then while waiting at a bank drive-thru the gas gauge went to empty even though there was over half a tank of gas. nissan recently recalled vehicles for fuel gauge problems, but the nissan dealership told me today that my car is not included in the recall even though i am having the same problem. i have to track how many miles i am driving, so i do not run out of gas. *tr
Faulty fuel gauge. readings are erratic, and inaccurate. p0463 codes used for diagnostics. dealer has not included this vehicles as part of the recall but it is having the same problems as other vehicles included in the recall. *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
My fuel gauge doesn't work at all. it reads that i have anywhere from a half of tank to quarter tank when its really empty. check engine light always on. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. the contact dispensed fuel into the fuel tank to the full capacity level. the indicator displayed an empty fuel message. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing. the failure was contributed to the fuel sensor gauge. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the manufacturer advised that the service repair would be at the owners expense. the vehicle has not been repaired for the malfunction at this time. the failure mileage was 39,000. the current mileage was 39,638.
My fuel gauge went out on my nissan xterra 07. it just stopped reading once it hit 1/4 tank. i ran out of gas thinking i was still at 1/4 tank. i was stranded on a road with very little shoulder and luckily no accidents happened.*dt
The fuel level sending unit on my 2007 nissan xterra needed to be replaced as it was showing the incorrect fuel amount on the gauge and activated the "service engine soon" indicator. i have read that this is a problem with many nissan xterras from 2005-2008. a recall is becoming active for 2006 models only. this recall should be for 2005-2008 models as i have read (online forums) many vehicles in this range have had to replace this part or are in need to. the replacement part that was installed into my xterra is still not entirely accurate. when the gauge shows 1/4 tank of fuel is left and i fill up, it will take 12-13 gallons only. the xterra fuel tank capacity is 21 gallons. the reason i am filing this complaint is tom ake your organization aware this recall should be reviewed and expanded to additional model years. it is somewhat disheartening nissan is well aware of this problem and not correcting it for the entire affected consumer base. maybe if one of their executives was stuck on the side on the road with their infant child and out of gas when the gauge said 1/4 left, they would understand the severity of the problem.
The fuel gauge on my 2007 nissan xterra 39k miles is erratic. after filling the gas tank, it shows empty and goes up very slowly. it takes over an hour to show close to full. since this problem started, an amber warning, "service engine soon" has been displayed constantly on the instrument panel. *tr
Fuel level sending unit stopped working shortly after warranty ran out. spoke to dealership about it and they have had multiple xterras and frontiers with the same issue. nissan issued a recall for some but not all of the affected vehicles, and unfortunately mine is one of ones that is not covered. *tr
2007 nissan xterra - faulty fuel sensor in the tank, causing the fuel gauge to not work properly. the fuel gauge never reads the correct amount of fuel - i have now run out of gas twice. nissan said i was responsible for the $500 repair even thought this same part has been recalled on the 2006 and 2008 models but not the 2007 xterra. *tr
The 2007 nissan xterra that was purchased for my sons has had a gas gauge that never recorded properly. this has been an ongoing problem that my sons have noticed from the beginning. first they wondered about it...and then said something to us. we notified the dealership, notified them again, and again, and again (i think you get the story) and finally after a couple of years, one sales serviceman said "yes others have the same problem". the replaced the gauge and then requested that i come back when the fuel tank was really empty to replace something in the tank. i did both these things. we haven't noticed a problem since but all boys are in college without the car. our car also isn't one of the cars being recalled for anything...it's the same year but it is when the car was manufactured. i called nissan many, many times. unresponsive reps and had a few senior people call me after my numerous attempts, said they mailed me something about one item that was recalled. i said that i never received anything and they wouldn't resend it. i will never buy another nissan vehicle again. our other vehicles are a 2008 suburban and a 2008 300 mercedes. less problems with both. nissan people if you are reading this...your customer service stinks. btw the original dealership by my house went under and closed...family nissan..bought car at el monte because it had the car i wanted and at a better price. *tr
I got the service engine soon so i took it to autozone to scan it and it gave the code p0463. i was looking around and found hundreds of people having the same problem as me. is there anyway this could be fixed by nissan with no cost to me since so many people are having the same problem. *tr
Vehicle fuel level gauge does not work. pegs high then goes low. causes check engine light to come on. car cannot pass emissions test due to faulty sensor. 2006 and 2008 nissan xterra have had a recall on this component. i do not understand why not the 2007 which has the exact same component. *tr
My fuel sensor no longer works. once the sensor gets to half full it sudden drops to empty. there's currently a recall from nissan on this but does not cover the month my truck was manufactured. i drive in very remote areas and if my fuel gauge is misleading there's a great chance i'll run out of gas to be stranded in the middle of nowhere. i'm very worried about having my wife drive the vehicle and getting stranded without access to help.
I have a 2007 nissan exterra and the fuel gauge is malfunctioning. i took it to the nissan dealer last year and they said it was the fuel sending unit which would cost 450.00 to replace.this is a big problem becouse i never know how much gas i have in my fuel tank i need to fuel constanly.
I have a 2007 nissan xterra s 2wd, and my wife has noticed problems after she fills the fuel tank. the gauge will sometimes take longer than 24 hours to reach full. other times it will not reach full, and she has to gauge her filling the tank by the amount of mile she drives. *tr
After filling fuel tank, the gauge was unresponsive (i.e. showing empty when full tank. a ses light appeared and showed p0463 (fuel level sensor circuit a). after taking it to nissan service, i was informed the repair would include replacing the fuel pump (fuel level sensor is actually sold separate- ~$150) in the amount of ~$600! it has been brought to my attention via internet search that this is a common problem which could result in stranding motorists and/or endangering them or other motorists from vehicle malfunction. *tr
Filled the tank 100% but it only showed 1/4 of a tank of gas and then goes to empty immediately after. the full tank did not register and the check engine light came on. i visited an auto shop and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. i have seen the same problems posted online and there needs to be a recall if this is the case for many 2006-2008 nissan xterras. *tr
I have a 07 xterra, after 27,000 miles check engine light is on, gas tank meter is stuck in full or empty. i have to keep track by miles to not run out of gas. the part is in back order. *tr
My 2007 nissan xterra ses light has been on for months. come to find out it is due to a faulty fuel level sensor. i have now run completely out of gas 3 times because when my gas gauge does register it is wrong. this started at around 55,000 miles and now i am at 62,000 miles. the ses light never turns off and the gas gauge has been reading incorrectly or not at all for about 5 months. *tr
