Continues airbag problems. From the satellite airbag sensors being rusty and water intrusion to the occupant air bag sensor. I have also had continuous misfires that have caused the catalytic converter on bank 1 to fail

There is a known problem with the fuel sending unit for frontiers about this age. Nissan extended the warrantee a few years ago, but it wasn't long enough to cover the defect. Now the sending unit needs to be replaced for the fuel gauge to work, and the whole gas tank needs to be dropped to do it. Nissan ought to cover this known issue with a full recall, not just an extended warrantee.

Fuel guage doesn't work correctly. Sometimes it show the right level and other times it shows empty or somewhere in between. Ran out of fuel the other day on the highway. I know there was a recall on this for 2006 -2008, but it says my vin number doesn't have a recall for this.

My 2007 nissan frontier crew cab has 107k miles and for unknown reasons the airbag light will not reset. This is unsafe because the airbags may not work in an accident. Also the fuel gauge is malfunctioning.

Fuel gauge sporadically measures incorrectly. Check engine light comes on when readings are incorrect, then goes off. Both while stationary or driving, on a mix of city and highway driving. Similar models/ model years may have already been recalled for similar issues (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/03/nissan-recalls-over-500-000-vehicles-for-brake-fuel-gauge-concerns/index.htm).

Our 07 nissan frontier was being driven to be inspected for registration when, at a stop light, it just turned off and would not start. We had it towed to a mechanic. He had to send it to the local nissan dealership for the computer to be replaced and reprogrammed. According to this mechanic, the leak from the radiator has mixed with transmission fluid in the transmission causing all these components to fail and…

Fuel gauge is not accurate or indicates empty with fuel warning light displayed, even when tank is full. Research shows that it is a defective fuel level sending unit. This should have been recalled for repair by nissan. Running out of fuel, unexpectedly on the highway could have very dangerous consequences.

Fuel/Propulsion System
Fuel gauge dropped from full to below empty and check engine light came on. Diagnosed with p0463 error code, fuel sensor unit malfunction. It appears that nissan has replaced the unit on 2006 & 2008 units, but for some reason failed to address the 2007 model year. Vehicle has 54k miles. This could create safety issue if someone runs out of fuel during heavy traffic.

Fuel gauge not moving to full, as gas tank got refilled. It shows empty after refill and check engine light illuminates. Sometimes stay empty until gas out, not safe to drive. Hard to tell if emptied or not. Need rpair. My truck is only 40000 when this happened, now its at 60000 miles. Repair will cost over $600 if only replacing inside tank fuel gauge.

Fuel level gauge failed at approximately 76k miles. Received code po 461 indicating sensor failure. Currently using odometer to keep from running out of gas while driving. Noted recall 10v075000 apparently covers this exact problem but 2007 model year not included.
