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. *tr

I own a 2006 nissan frontier cc 4x4 in which the fuel tank sending unit is faulty and nissan tells me my vehicle does not fall within their current fuel sending unit campaign. The sending unit failed at approx 44,000 miles. I currently have 66,000 miles on the vehicle. I have run out of gas once when it first happened. Now i put gas in it every 2 days regardless of what the gauge says. *tr
