Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan frontier. the contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, there was a sudden loss of power steering without warning. in addition, the contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to display accurate fuel levels. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was advised that the fuel level sending unit inside the fuel tank needed to be replaced. also, the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic where it was advised that the radiator fluid was leaking into the transmission. as a result, the radiator, the power transmission, and steering shaft needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 10v075000(fuel system, gasoline). the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 42,000 and the current mileage was 102,000.
Even though my fuel tank is full my gage shows it is empty. this problem stareted long time ago and i been told some nissan frontiers are covered by factory for faulty fuel sensor and some aren't. please advise what is the best of going forward. thanks allen
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan frontier. the vehicle was included in the recall under nhtsa campaign id number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxillary tank) and was repaired. after the repair the fuel sending unit failed immediately. while fueling the vehicle the contact noticed that the fuel level gauge indicated empty. there was a manufacturer's recall for the fuel sensor and the vehicle taken to the dealer and repaired. the failure continued after the repair. the vehicle was not further serviced. the vin was not available. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
My fuel gauge registered empty so a went to put gas in and it was nearly full. they told me i needed a battery. i was under warranty at the time. now out of warranty and 3 batteries later, my gauge is broke again. i have sent emails and letters to nissan and get no reply. i will probably never buy another nissan as much as i do like this truck. *tr
