2007 Nissan Xterra

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REFILLED THE FUEL TANK HOWEVER, THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED BY A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT RECALLS WERE VIN SPECIFIC AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

APPARENTLY, THIS IS HAPPENING TO LARGE NUMBER OF NISSAN VEHICLES. IT STARTED WITH MY GAS METER GETTING STUCK ON A QUARTER OF TANK. AND TWICE I RAN OUT OF GAS, THINKING I STILL HAD SOME GAS LEFT IN TANK. NOW MY EMPTY TANK LIGHT CUTS ON USUALLY AFTER I GET AROUND A HALF OF TANK. WHEN I FILL UP IT MAY TAKE 2 OR 3 TRIPS BEFORE THE SENSOR GETS OFF OF READING NO GAS. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL. VERY FRUSTRATING NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH IS IN TANK, ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS. FRUSTRATING AS WELL, HAVING TO PUT GAS IN XTERRA EVERY 2-3 DAYS NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH IS ACTUALLY IN TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A QUARTER OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A QUARTER OF FUEL IN THE TANK AND THEN INDICATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000. UPDATED 09/30/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE TURN SIGNAL WAS REPLACED. THE HORN RELAY SWITCH WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. UPDATED 2/25/2015 *JS

MY FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED ONLY 1/2 OF THE LAST QUARTER SO I COMPLETELY FILLED UP. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR UP THE FUEL GAUGE NOW READ TOTALLY EMPTY, WITH THE YELLOW EMPTY LIGHT ON. I KNEW IT WAS FULL SO I RESET THE ODOMETER TO TRACK MILEAGE TO ESTIMATE FUEL CONTENT. AFTER ABOUT TWO DRIVING CYCLES THE GAUGE EVENTUALLY MADE IT TO THE FULL MARK AND SEEMED TO COME DOWN NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW THREE MORE TIMES. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE THE TIME (SEPT 2013) AND DISTANCE (72000) MILES ALLOWED FOR THE RECALL. IT'S NOW MAY 2014, WITH 76000 MILES. THE DEALER, AND THE NISSAN 800 NUMBER JUST BLEW ME OFF AS BEING OUTSIDE THE RECALL WARRANTY LIMITS. ONE OF THE TIMES THE GAUGE HUNG UP AT THE LAST QUARTER TANK, YOU COULD RUN OUT OF FUEL IN TRAFFIC OR AN INTERSECTION. I FEEL IT'S SERIOUS ENOUGH TO RATE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND MANY OTHER HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR ON 2007 XTERRA. LAST GEN WAS RECALLED AND THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS YEAR. I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE ALREADY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I AM ALSO HAVING A LOUD WINING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE DUE TO A FAILED TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. BOTH THESE ITEMS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED SHOWING THE WRONG FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 42,000. UPDATED 05/28/14*LJ UPDATED 05/30/2014 *JS

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER AND THEY CAME UP WITH CODE P0463 REGARDING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. NEEDED A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT & GAUGE ASSEMBLY INSTALLED FOR ABOUT $430.00. NISSAN HAD ISSUED A WARRANTY NOTIFICATION REGARDING THIS, EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS (6 YRS) / 72,000 MILES. WE WERE BEYOND THE REVISED WARRANTY PERIOD SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. NISSAN SHOULD BE MADE TO ISSUE A RECALL AND PAY FOR THE FIX. TO THE NHTSA!! PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND REQUIRE NISSAN TO DO THE RIGHT THING! *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY 07 NISSAN XTERRA. A COMPLETE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED TRANSMISSION FLUID COOLER LOCATED IN THE RADIATOR ASSEMBLY THAT ALLOWED COOLANT TO MIX WITH AND CONTAMINATE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID, RESULTING IN DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS AND A DAMAGED INTERNAL TRANSMISSION COMPUTER. WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND THE NISSAN CORPORATION IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ON MY 07 XTERRA WENT OFF WHEN LEAVING MY GARAGE. USING MY SCANGAUGE, I FOUND OUT MY ENGINE WAS SHOWING ERROR CODE P0463. WHEN WE GOT HOME I JUMPED ON THE NET AND DISCOVERED THAT IT MEANT MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND THAT, WHILE NO REAL THREAT TO MY SAFETY WAS POSED OTHER THAN POSSIBLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS BY SURPRISE, IT SEEMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH XTERRAS. SO COMMON IN FACT, THAT PREVIOUS GENERATION NISSANS WERE ACTUALLY RECALLED FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY, NO RECALL HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE PART FOR THE 2ND GEN YET, AND SO NISSAN CUSTOMERS ARE BEING FORCED TO HAVE THE DEALER MAKE THE REPAIR TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $600. ALSO IT SEEM LIKE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS FAULTY PART ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET.

"CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER SHOWS ERROR "FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE." THIS IS APPARENTLY A VERY, VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MECHANIC SAYS THIS WILL EVENTUALLY, IF LEFT UN-REPAIRED, DESTROY MY MAIN COMPUTER ON THE CAR. REPAIR ESTIMATE IS $700, WHICH INCLUDES A COMPLETE CHANGE-OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. *TR
