2006 nissan frontier fuel system. after fueling up my pickup, the check engine light comes on and gas gauge show empty and dte computer goes out. being a component of the fuel system this can be dangerous. any malfunction in a gas tank should warrant investigation and resolution. *tr
I have a 2006 nissan frontier nismo i have had 3 fuel "sending units" replaced and have only 21000 miles on the truck. this is due to very erratic and somewhat unsafe defective equipment ie; gas gauge/sending unit. i recently had it replaced for the third time and it is now worse than before. i am very frustrated and this seems to be a universal problem with the gas gauge/sending unit. i would like to see a recall and this problem fixed once and for all. thanks *tr

i own a 2006 nissan frontier, it was delivered with only half the keys programmed for the vehicle, a strange rattling of plastic shrouding in the engine compartment and as i found out a fast set of tires later, the front end out of alignment [ too much toe in ]. when i read the manual i found out that my 4wd vehicle was "not intended to be used off of the road", this was not in any of the presales literature and the reason i buy 4wd is so i can use it off road. at 100 miles after warranty i had to take it in because the fuel sending unit had failed, about a $600 repair on a part that should last 200,000 miles. the mechanic told me their dealership is replacing about one of these a week on a couple of models. when i picked it up i got the trouble light on the way home, i scanned it to see what the problem was [code po448 ]. i took it back. the first canister they ordered showed up broken [ kind of fragile for something mounted on the bottom of a 4wd ]. parts replaced under the emissions warranty were 14953zp50c filter-canister, 14950-ea20a canister assy. e, and 14935-am60b valve assy.-co. the service order says " ...inspected/found no flow very rusty....". as the vehicle only has 36,000 miles on it this does not bode well for the future. *tr
