This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Error code PO463 comes up on check engine light. Fuel level sensor malfunctioning gas gauge still remains at empty even though the tank is full. Seem to have a lot of people with Nissan trucks having the same problem.
With 41,000 miles my 2006 Nissan Frontier is giving me an incorrect gas gauge reading. Apparently this is a common issue with Nissan that they are not addressing.
The fuel sending unit has quit working for the second time which causes the fuel gauge to give false readings. Nissan replaced the unit when it quit at 10000 miles under warranty but, now the vehicle is out of warranty and the unit is not working again. After talking with several owners of the same vehicle I found out we are all having the same problem, going through multiple units. Nissan does seem to be fixing the problem but, just coving it up. After talking with the dealership they do not want to try to cover it, they want me to pay $400 for parts and labor which I am not going to do. Besides the fact that $100 for parts and $300 for labor is outrageous I am not going to replace this part just have it fail again. This part should be on a recall because it is clearly defective and not a part that should have to be replaced 2, 3, or 4 times or even at 10000 miles. Now my problem is the truck seems to be using more gas because of this. I have been going off of the mileage because I know my vehicle will do a little over 400 miles on a tank of gas but, it left me on the side of the highway in a bad neighborhood at 11:30 at night with 352 miles showing. My girlfriend also has to drive this truck and I fear her safety when she is driving the vehicle. She could get stuck in a bad neighborhood or in dallas, tx traffic it is not easy to get to the side of the road when it runs out of gas. Also, this problem sets off the check engine light and the vehicle inspection is out. They will not let the vehicle pass with this on.
One day without warning check engine light came on and fuel level gauge became incorrect and erratic. This happened at approx 38000 mile just out of warranty. I have ran out of gas in traffic because my fuel gauge was reading 1/4 tank and there was none. Having to fill my vehicle in traffic is a major safety concern.
2006 Nissan Frontier king cab fuel gauge sensor malfunction, 47 kmiles on truck reported 600 dollar repair at dealer, internet search, very common Nissan needs to recall and repair, fault is corrosion on fuel tank electrical connection.
The fuel sending unit on the truck failed at about 38K miles. The gage is slow to respond to a fill-up 30-60 minutes to register full. It functions normally until around half a tank, then the needle drops to E and the empty tank light comes on. After refueling the truck several times it was still half full of fuel. The check engine light has been on since the start of the problem. Online boards have indicated that this is a common problem on this truck. A code scanner at a parts store also said that it was a problem with the fuel level sending unit. I will probably replace the part myself.
Went out one morning to go to work and the fuel gauge read E. re-started the truck and the gauge went to 3/4 tank. Drove to work and back, went shopping, than re-fueled and the gauge was on E again. The service engine light also came on at this time. Called dealership and they said there was no recalls on it and that my warranty was expired, took the truck to a mechanic who cleaned a part near the tank and cleared out the codes. It worked for about a week. Drove the truck that week and re-fueled. Gas gauge stayed on E with the service engine back on. Called dealer and the cost is around $700. Waiting for the price from my mechanic.
2006 Nissan Frontier pickup - gas gauge is sluggish to move upward after a fillup. Takes several days to register accurate tank level. Also, check engine light intermittently comes on. Occasionally drops to empty and empty tank indicator light comes on and then gradually moves to correct level. Have had in shop several times without success. Vehicle has less than 50K miles on it.
Fuel level indicator will not respond after fill up. Then the check engine light came on. Code registered is P0463. Indicates fuel level indicator defective.
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.
My fuel gauge does not work all the time on my 2006 Nissan Frontier 4X4 crew cab nismo. I live in South Dakota and my wife and 3 year old daughter drive and ride in this vehicle, with the winter months coming and how dangerously cold it gets in South Dakota, this could be a life threatening problem. Not to mention if the truck stalled on the road it could cause an accident. My truck has approx. 46,000 miles on it.
The fuel gauge on my 2006 Nissan Frontier crew cab le 4X4 is malfunctioning and fails to give accurate measurements of the amount of fuel present. I have done research on the internet and found many more Frontier owners who are experiencing the same problem.
2005 Nissan Frontier - gas gauge was not working, and not showing that I had gas in my tank. Then it began giving me problems, misfiring while driving and "service engine soon" light appears. I took it to a Nissan dealership who told me that the fuel level sensor a circuit high input needed replacing. Since I was not under warranty, I had to replace fuel sending unit. My job at the time, required me to drive alot, though the car was barely two years old. I had over 30,000 miles. Still, the problem cost me over $800!!!! and in all respects, it was a problem with a defective part - not because I drive it. I am sorry I ever bought this vehicle - I should have bought a Honda element (my wife's car) she has never had a mechanical problem in the four years she has had the car. Nissan makes a trash pickup. Disgruntled and frustrated over Nissan's incapability to produce a better vehicle, and replace faulty parts. They obviously need the money!
