Fuel sending unit problem with my 2005 nissan frontier. Causes fuel gauge to be non functional. Basically there is no way to tell how much gas i have in my tank. Problem started at 59000 miles, i now have 80000. Nissan refuses to fix. *tr

I have a 2005 nissan frontier that has a fault code of po463. Nissan has recalled the 2006-08 vehicles with this faulty fuel level sending unit. They are refusing to repair mine because it is a 2005 and are refusing to accept responsibility for an obvious defective part. There are hundreds of people like me with the identical problem that are having to spend in excess of $600.00. This is a serious safety issue as…

My fuel level gauge indicated i had 1/4 of a tank of gas left. I stopped and filled it with 17 gallons at the local shell gas station. After filling, as i was leaving the station i noticed my fuel gauge had not moved and still displayed 1/4 of a tank. I also noticed my check engine soon light was on. I went to have it checked and a computer read out indicated a bad fuel level sensor. After a review on the internet…

My 2005 nissan frontier service engine light is coming on and the gas gauge does not work. I have verified that this is not subject to a recall in my model vehicle but is subject to an earlier model yr recall. After filling up my gas gauge goes to empty until i have driven approx 125 mile and then it goes to three quarters of a tank. Nissan is aware of the problem and has issued service bulletin # ntb07-69a for its…

Oddly enough my fuel gauge stopped working at 58k miles or so. Now i know you think so what fix it. When i took it to the dealer they said they see all the time. So i looked online, googled nissan frontier fuel sending unit, and found literally 1000's of owners with the identical problem on dozens of message boards. So i called a few more dealers and repair shops and they said the same thing that i have read and…

Upon reaching approximately 37,000 miles on my 2005 nissan frontier my gas gauge began acting wildly and my check engine light went off to indicate i had a bad fuel sending unit. Code 0463. The gauge will not register any fuel when the tank is full or when it's near empty. When the tank is half fuel the gauge seems to work. Upon further research it appears that hundreds of people are having this same problem and…

Common problem. Fuel gauge does not work. After plenty research, i have found out that plenty frontier and xterra owners are have problem with the fuel sending units failing. Stealership want $400-$500 to fix this. I do not have money for this and don't want to run out of gas again. This should be recalled. They recalled it is austraila on the nissan navara (same as a frontier), but i guess it would be too expensive…

2005 nissan frontier: apparently, many nissans are showing faulty fuel sending/level units (including my own). They cause the driver to have an nonfunctional gas gauge. Due to this faulty factory part, i ran out of gas on a six lane highway during rush hour. With all the nissans on the road, i can imagine many may run out of fuel in less than safe surroundings. Please do a recall!! *tr

Nissan frontiers and xterras (and maybe other similar vehicles from nissan) are having a strong recurring problem with the fuel sending unit sensor going bad and dealerships not covering this part. I have recently experienced this same failure, which has hit everyone i know with a 2005-present nissan frontier. Clearly a recall needs to be done, because this is tagging many, many owners for a factory defective…

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 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…

I currently own a 2005 nissan frontier and had less than a 1/4 of a tank of gas in my fuel tank 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 but showed that the tank was empty with the warning low gas light was on. I went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor. This vehicle is less than 3 years old…

At 30,100 miles pulled a p0463 "fuel level sensor a" code on 2005 nissan frontier - 3yr warranty ended 6days prior to mil. Entire fuel pump assy needs replacement - nissan won't honor 3yr 36,000 mile warranty. Service rep at nissan dealer is aware of problems with the fuel pumps - asked me if my fuel gauge was inop before knowing the fault code. After searching the internet found many people have the same problem -…

The fuel gage does not register "fuel" properly on both computer & gage every time we fill up the tank. The service engine soon light stays on constantly. When you fill up the tank, the gage goes to empty and low fuel light comes on. The computers shows a reading that says -------. Eventually gage will slowly go back up to full and the miles left will show on computer. When it gets down to half to quarter full,…

10 months ago my 05 nissan frontier had the check engine light come on. Turns out is was the fuel sensor. Now the fuel sensor doesn't work. I have researched this and it is a very common problem for frontiers, xterras, and pathfinders. I have found literally hundreds of complaints, and nissan is aware of the problem, yet still no recall. In addition to the $90 diagnostic, we are being quoted $400 to have it…
