2007 nissan xterra... fuel gauge senor... fuel tank always reads zero... check engine light stays on... can not get inspection sticker!!! *tr
I fill my gas tank, the gauge falls to the bottom and the service engine soon light comes on. after it is driven for a short distance the gauge will gradually move to the top and work again. the service engine soon light has remained on. *tr
Service engine light came on dash. pulled code and it is p0463. a service bulletin was released by nissan which indicates is a common enough of a failure to release a bulletin. is defective fuel sending unit. dealer will not replace because out of 3yr/30k. is common enough it should be done for free. *tr
Fuel level sensor malfunction fails intermittently and often. check engine light stays on with code related for fuel level sensor. does not go off when the fuel level sensor is working. unable to obtain a vehicle inspection because of this. unable to tell how much fuel is in the car. risk of running out of fuel due to misinformation from fuel gauge. recall is being performed for older year models of this vehicle, but not this one. *tr
Fuel gauge not reading accuratly
Fuel sending unit failure. gas gauge does not show right fuel level , it stays stuck at 1/4 tank and you think you have enough gas but you don't. almost ran out of gas on highway. dealer is replacing fuel sending unit. *tr
Purchased a brand new 2007 xterra in november 2006. in the summer of 2009 at about 33,000 miles i ran out of gas in the gas station parking lot when the gas gauge read that i still had a couple of miles to empty. service engine light came on and i could not get rid of it. a friend and local mechanic said that the fuel sensor was broken. the vehicle had exceeded the warranty mileage and the dealer would not fix it for free. this weekend on christmas eve i ran out of gas on the highway after writing down how many miles i had left until empty. according to the mileage i had written when i filled up, i still had about 70 miles to empty but with the cold weather, etc. the car must have used up more gas than usual. luckily, no one was hurt but this posed an extreme danger to us given that the car stopped in the middle of a busy highway. according to several other xterra owners, this is a common problem with xterras but nissan has issued no recall. *tr
1. do not appear to be any precursors to the failure. 2. my gas gauge does not work and check engine light is on. one minute it will show full, then next, completely empty. there is no rhyme or reason. based on internet research, it appears it is the fuel sending unit. car runs just fine but i never know how much gas is in the vehicle. i ran out in 120 degree weather with an infant in the car and had to walk to the gas station. what would have happened if it had happened on the freeway or over railroad tracks? 3. called the dealer and they advised it would be almost $700 to fix. vehicle is out of warranty, but this appears to be a similar problem to a recall in older models. if they are using the same part manufacturer, could it be the same part on my car? nissan needs to recall this item. *tr
I had 1/4 of a tank of gas and drove to work with intentions on filling up when i got off of work. after getting off, i started my vehicle and the gas light was on and the gauge was below the e. i went to directly to fill up. after filling up my gas tank, i turned on the car, at which point the needle did not move and the gas light stayed on. after driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. i have not gone to the dealer yet, but after reading everyone else's complaints on this same issue, i thought i would go ahead and start the complaint process. i don't have the 400 to 600 dollars right now to pay on an issue that nissan should have corrected years ago so i will have to pray that i do not run out of gas until i have the extra money to repair nissan's problem. *tr
Fuel sensor malfunctioned at 40,000 miles on 2007 nissan xterra causing fuel gauge to malfunction and check engine light to come on. happens each time i refuel since july. this problem is widespread with many nissan products. nissan is not backing it if you are past 36,000 miles. *tr
I have nissan xterra '07 with 41k miles on it. on our 4-th of july trip after fueling up the full tank i noticed that the fuel level needle did not go up after i started the engine. it took ~30 minutes then it went all the way up. but then while driving i noticed that the "engine service soon" light is on and the fuel level needle is all the way down (like no fuel at all.) then i read that the ess lights up when the vehicle thinks there is no fuel so it was obviously a fuel level sensor malfunction. later i investigated more and found out that a lo of people with xterras 05-07 have the same problem at approximately the same mileage. the p/n 25060-zs00a on the service bulletin # ntb07-69a. i think all these defective fuel level sensors should be recalled. *tr
Filled my vehicle with fuel, and i noticed that the fuel level gage read empty, after i had put 17 gallons of fuel in it. this occurred when the vehicle had about 55,000 miles on the odometer. the fuel gage has become increasingly unreliable, reading empty when full; this has caused me to run out of fuel on two occasions. as the check engine light remains on, my vehicle will not pass the safety inspection with the check engine light on. this is obviously a defective part; nissan will charge about $400 plus tax to fix this problem. this is a pervasive problem for nissans; i have a friend who also owns the same vehicle; his failed at the same odometer reading. automotive websites where consumers discuss nissan vehicles are filled with complaints about this problem. *tr
P0463 fuel level sensor failure at 39002 miles on my 2007 nissan xterra s. it occurred just past my warranty and the dealer would not repair under warranty. *tr
Faulty fuel gauge and check engine light on the 2007 nissan xterra. *tr
Fuel gauge is not accurate. codes say fuel sending unit failed.
2007 nissan xterra fuel sensor failure. 63000 miles. fuel gauge suddenly stopped working. ran out of gas on mountain road with gas gauge showing 1/2 tank remaining. this model is not included in nissan 2 march 2010 fuel sensor recall even though parts are identical. same problem occurred with my 2005 nissan xterra at 61000 miles. this vehicle is also not part of the recall. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. there was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage, auxiliary tank) the contact experienced the identical failures as mentioned in the recall. the contact called the manufacturer regarding the fuel system and the manufacturer stated that they could not repair the vehicle under the recall due to the vin. the manufacturer did recognized a problem with the vehicle's fuel system but will not repair the vehicle. the contact was concerned that the recall was not related to his year, make, and model vehicle. the failure mileage was 107,000.
Gas gauge does not work properly. filled car with gas, but gauge only shows quarter full. also, service engine soon light has come on. *tr
The fuel sending unit on my 2007 nissan xterra has failed (the fuel gauge no longer works) this could cause loss of power on the highway if i were to run out of fuel - or it could leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere. replaced fuel sending unit at a local shop. old unit is unavailable. *tr
2007 nissan xterra with 51,000 miles. fuel gauge is reading empty when there is a full tank of gas. since the vehicle is so new, i feel this is a faulty system with poor design and/or materials selection. *tr
1. no events leading to the failure but just driving 2. the failure is the check engine light came on and then a few days later the gas gauge started messing up; when it gets to 1/2 a tank it drops to empty and when filling up the gas tank it takes a day or so before the gas gauge reads full again; a consequence is i have ran out of gas do to this situation since the gas gauge does not function right 3. to fix the problem the vehicle needs a new fuel leveling/sending unit; it is a nissan xterra 2007 but production year of 2006 and was told by nissan that the truck's vin did not come up for the recall they have going on for production year of 2006 and 2008 xterras although the symptoms of my issue is exactly the symptoms of the recall and that the truck falls into the production year of the recall years. problem has not been fixed at all, and i am not paying out of pocket for an issue that is common with the nissan xterras hence the recalls. *tr
I had a 1/4 tank of gas in my 2007 nissan xterra so i filled it up with gas. when i turned the engine back on the fuel gauge read 1/4 tank still. as i proceeded to drive the ses 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
Faulty fuel sending unit in 2007 nissan xterra. leads to inaccurate fuel readings which has led to running out of gas while on the highway. nissan has issued a recall for 2006 xterra's fsu but no other model years.
At 40k miles, fuel gauge started intermittent failure, along with "check engine" light...internet boards for xterra owners indicated widespread similar problems. i contacted nearest nissan dealer in parkersburg, wv, was told would cost me $330 for parts & labor to replace the fuel level sensor in the fuel tank. first, i don't feel obligated to pay out of pocket for this repair, for a vehicle that isn't even 3 years old with 40k miles. secondly, most certainly don't want to replace it with same type of sensor that hasn't been updated & will likely malfunction as well, as has been reported by many other xterra owners. i have been estimating fuel level in tank by using trip odometer, and vehicle now shows 42k miles...gauge continues to malfunction intermittently. i would like it repaired under "good faith" by a dealer, with no out-of-pocket cost, when i take it for the recall notice about replacing the front impact airbag sensor...haven't scheduled that repair yet, but would like to have it all done at that time. thank you! *tr
I drive a 2007 nissan xterra...which i bought new from the dealer. i stopped to get gas a few months ago and noticed that, after putting gas in my tank, my light still said i was on empty. after a few hours it jumped back up to full, and now, as soon as my gas is at 3/4 of a tank, it automatically jumps to e and my check engine light remains on. i am constantly stopping for gas because i cannot tell how much gas i have. further, after doing research, i have discovered this is an apparent huge problem with other nissan xterras, pathfinders and frontiers from the 2005 to 2007 years. i have also discovered that any auto place wants to charge me up to $600 to fix this part..which is an apparent defect from the manufacturer. i should not have to pay any money out of my pocket to fix this! *tr
1) fuel gauge stopped functioning, and service engine indicator lighted. the fuel gauge behaves erratically, generally showing tank is empty, even when full. 2) problem occurs constantly, requiring careful tracking of mileage to determine when to re-fuel. 3) checked on-line forums for nissan xterras, and this is a common problem caused by corrosion to the fuel sender unit. most replacements cost between $450 and $650 for parts and labor. *tr
I have a 2007 nissan xterra with 14k miles. fuel gauge does not register when tank is filled up. occasionally as driving, my tank will be completely full, but the gauge will shoot down to empty and cause low fuel light to come on. this will also trigger the check engine to come on. the engine, at times, as also acted as if it is about to stall due to being out of gas...which it is not. my mechanic, whom i have used for many years, has informed me that this is a fuel line sensor in the gas tank after running the codes during trying to get my vehicle inspected, which failed due to check engine light being on. this seems to be a problem for a number of people with this vehicle. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan xterra. the contact was driving approximately 50 mph when the vehicle stalled due to having no fuel. the contact stated that the fuel level gauge displayed that the fuel tank was half full. the vehicle was not inspected for the failure. the manufacture was contacted and stated the vehicle was not covered by the warranty and the contact would have to pay for the cost of repairs. the contact later received an extended warranty notification from the manufacturer for vehicles under 72,000 miles that had experienced the fuel tank failure however, the contacts vehicle was over the mileage at the time of notification. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
my 2007 nissan xterra has an intermittent problem with the fuel sending unit not registering the correct fuel levels as well as the empty light staying on after a fill up of the tank. after filling up the tank the gas gauge sticks on empty and then after an undetermined amount of time it starts to fluctuate to different points in the full range of the gauge. this has happened several times in the last two years. the consequences could have included running out of gas due to incorrect fuel level reporting by the fuel gauge and stalling in traffic. there is a safety recall for the same model vehicle in prior and later years for the same issue, but nissan refuses to address and correct the entire safety issue. at this point in time the vehicle in question has not been repaired to correct the problem. *tr
Fuel level gauge always show empty. check engine on sense problem started. *tr
Fuel sensor unit went out on 2007 nissan xterra. *tr
I have a 2007 nissan xterra the fuel gage whent haywire. i took it to a nissan dealer and they told me it would be $600 to repair. this is bull seems a lot of xterras are having the same problem and nissan will do nothing about it. there should be a recall. *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
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 nissan customer service 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
Fuel gauge does not indicate properly. after filling the up the the fuel gauge indicates 1/4 tank.
