2005 nissan frontier, faulty fuel level sensor, which costs around 700 dollars to repair at dealerships, recalls on some years but not the 05. A lot of people have this issue and should be a recall item. Causes fuel gauge not to work properly and could be a safety issue when you run out of gas. *tr

At around 48 or 49 thousand miles, my 2005 nissan frontier "service engine soon" light came on. Also, my fuel gage failed. I took my truck for scheduled emissions test and the truck failed. The diagnostic trouble code came up po463 "fuel level sensor failure". Told by dealer that it was a 650 to 900 dollar repair and that there was no recall at this time. *tr

I have the same problem with the fuel level sensor as reported by many other nissan frontier owners . I saw that there was a recall issued by nissan for 2006 and 2008 models . I am experiencing the same problem with the fuel level sensor on my 2005 frontier . I contracted the dealer and they will not correct the problem at their cost . Why won't they recall the 2005 frontiers if the have the same problem ? [xxx] .…

Nissan frontier 2005 47,000 miles throwing error code p0463 (fuel level sensor malfunction). As a result, there is no way to know how much fuel is left in the tank. This is dangerous for traveling on the interstate and for fill-ups. *tr

The dealership wanted $600 for the repair and the part was on back order, and they wouldn't be able to fix it until next week. Two days after i checked with the…

After gas tank went down to 1/4 tank, got a fill up at a local gas station. Pulled off and notice that the gas gauge was not reading that it was full. After riding a mile the check engine light came on. Went to local dealership thinking i just needed an oil change; that did not solve the problem. Then was charged $100 for a diagnostic test. The test confirmed: replacement of the fuel pump assembly recommended after…
