    At about 41,000 miles, just outside of warranty, fuel gauge stopped working after i filled gas tank up. It will occasionally work now but not all the way. Now i can not trust the fuel gauge. Nissan shop employees said this is a common problem. It is a fuel gauge sensor and will cost over 500 dollars to repair. I have found numerous complaints about this on the internet. This is a major safety issue. If i was…

    I have a 2007 nissan frontier with 41000 miles on it. At 39000 miles the fuel gauge started malfunctioning and the check engine light came on. When i fill up with gasoline, the fuel gauge remains at empty with the empty gas tank light on. Occasionally the gauge kicks up but dies down again. On 9/9/09 i took the car to the nissan dealership and they diagnosed the problem as fuel gauge sensor needs replacement. They…

    2007 nissan frontier nismo faulty gas sensor in tank. Known recall on 2006 and 2008 models. Shows an empty tank when full and empty. Unless you are keeping up with mileage, you don't know if you will run out of gas on the freeway. This can cause accidents. Nissan is aware of the same issue in 2006 and 2008 frontier trucks. For some reason, they will not assume responsibility for the 2007 models. I talked with the…

    I have a 2007 nissan frontier pick up truck that i bought new.it has approximately 57k miles on it. About 6 months ago, the fuel sending gauge began malfunctioning. After a fuel fill up it would register full however after a few minutes it would drop to the empty position and the service engine light would come on ( it is still on now). I took it to the dealer and he informed me that it would cost $650 to repair.…

    Fuel sensing unit on my '07 frontier went out. Though i'm reading many reports now of fuel gauges that don't rise to "full" at fill-up, mine was the opposite. After a few episodes of "check engine" light coming on, then clearing itself, i was heading down highway in the center lane during rush hour. Though my gauge said 1/4 tank,in fact i was out of gas, lost power, and had to coast as i made my way in heavy traffic…

    Fuel sensor problem 2007 frontier -47,000 mile. After filling the tank, the fuel gauge drops to empty, the low fuel warning light comes on, and service engine soon light comes on. This is a common recurring problem with nissan models and because it is not a true safety issue, nissan does not feel the necessity to issue a recall. *tr

    I have a 2007 frontier king cab nismo with 56,000 miles on it. Put fuel in it today and the fuel gauge will not rise above half full. Then the check engine soon light came on. A few miles later the gauge plunged to empty with the low fuel light on. On my return trip the gauge moved up to half with the service engine soon light on. It appears from my research that the fuel sending unit is bad and that numerous owners…

    2007 nissan frontier with 45,000 miles developed "service engine soon" light when filled up with gasoline. Code shown when read was "fuel sending unit high output". After research with several nissan dealers, an approximate repair cost of $600 was given, including a $100 diagnostic fee for reading the codes.

    The fuel gauge acts erratically, i can fill the gas tank up with fuel but the needle still shows that i'm empty. I'm sure it's the fuel sending unit. The vehicle has 44000 miles on it now, and around 38,000 miles when this occurred. The check engine light is on because of this defect. *tr

My original thought was that i didn't tighten my gas cap enough, but i always do. A minute later the service engine soon light comes on. I have a 2007 frontier crew cab nismo with 67,000 miles. While driving home the gas gauge slowly worked its way up to just…

    Fuel sensor or sending unit is bad on a 07' frontier. Fuel gauge drops to empty at 1/4 tank, and also does the same after fill up. Takes a while to come back up to full reading. Nissan wants me to pay 600.00 for a repair when this is apparently a issue on all of their vehicles. They need to issuer a recall. *tr
