    I purchased a 2006 nissan frontier crew cab se 4x4 new in 2006. I have driven the vehicle less than moderately and currently have 44,000 miles on the vehicle. The check engine light recently displayed and i took the vehicle to the dealership. I was advised the fuel sending unit needed replaced and was going to cost roughly $600.00. I was upset with the price, however, did not have any other choice but to pay for the…

    The fuel gage either shows full or one fourth or empty even after a fill up. I have ran out of gas in heavy traffic almost resulting in several rear end collisions. *dt

    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…

    I have a 06 nissan frontier. Just after the 36k warranty the fuel sending unit went out. This causes the service engine light to come on not to mention the fuel gage doesn't work. I paid 400 to have this unit replace. However, they have a "newer part number" which proves they know about the problem. This just isn't fair especially the vehicle on had 38k on it. Also, tailgate hinge problems. The right side hinge…
