“ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATION AND FUEL LEVEL DISCREPANCY. ENGINE CODE PO463 (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A HIGH INPUT). TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS REPORTED THAT 80, 689 VEHICLES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. *TR”

“2006 NISSAN XTERRA FUEL GAUGE. THE GAUGE DROPS TO E AND SENDS A CHECK ENGINE CODE TO THE DASH AND DOESN'T READ HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE XTERRA AT ANY GIVE TIME. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE SAID IT WASN'T PART OF THE NATIONAL RECALL OF OTHER NISSAN FUEL TANK ISSUES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS I AM STILL IN THE 60000 MILE ENGINE WARRANTY AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED MY THE FUEL PUMP 60000 MILE WARRANTY AS WELL. *TR”

“DEAR SIR OR MADAM, MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA WITH ONLY 46,000 MILES RECENTLY SHOWED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FUEL GAUGE SAID THERE WAS STILL A QUARTER OF A TANK OF GAS REMAINING. WHEN I GOT TO AUTO ZONE, THE COMPUTER THREW THE CODE P0463, WHICH INDICATES A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. I WENT ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME COMPLAINT. FOR THIS REASON, I REQUEST THAT YOU ADD THIS TO THE LIST OF RECALLED PARTS ON THIS VEHICLE. OBVIOUSLY, AS I EXPERIENCED, IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE PREVALENCE OF THIS MALFUNCTION INDICATES A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM RATHER THAN ISOLATED, UNRELATED INCIDENCES. IT WILL COST ME $600 AT THE DEALER TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. IT WON'T SAVE ME THAT MONEY, BUT HOPEFULLY WILL PREVENT SOMEONE'S FUTURE SAFETY ISSUE. [XXX] *TR”

“I WENT TO A GAS STATION TO FILL UP MY 2006 NISSAN XTERRA. IT SAID I HAD ABOUT A QUARTER OF A TANK LEFT, I PUT IN 40 DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THE GAUGE STILL SAID 1/4 OF A TANK. I PARKED THE CAR TURNED IT OFF, CHECKED THE CAP AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, IT STILL SAID 1/4 OF A TANK AND THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. I GOOGLED THE PROBLEM WHEN I GOT HOME AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE SAME EXACT CIRCUMSTANCES ON CARS FROM NISSAN FROM THE SAME MODEL YEAR. THE PART COSTS 600 DOLLARS TO REPLACE. *TR”

“2006 NISSAN XTERRA FUEL SENDING UNIT DEFECTIVE AND WILL NOT BE REPLACED BY NISSAN . PUMP WORKS FINE BUT FUEL GAUGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL . MY DAUGHTER RAN OUT OF GAS ON HIGHWAY AT 11PM ONE NIGHT. *TR”

“I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN XTERRA WHO'S FUEL SENSING MECHANISM HAS FAILED WHICH CAUSES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TO GO ON. NISSAN WANTS $150 PLUS LABOR TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS, I AM FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN IN HOPES OF A RECALL. *TR”
