“GAS IN CAR WAS AT A 1/4 TANK AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WENT AND FILLED TANK UP AND GAS GAUGE NOT WORKING AFTER DRIVING THE CAR TWICE THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE GAUGE WAS WORKING 3 DAYS LATTER SAME ISSUE. I DO SEE WHERE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005, 2006, 2008 AND 2009 XTERRA FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT THEY FAILED TO RECALL THE 2007 YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED. *JS”

“1/4 TANK OF GAS IN CAR SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WENT TO GAS STATION ON FILLED UP AND THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT READ. AFTER 2 DAY GAUGE FOR FUEL LEVEL WORKED AND SES LIGHT WENT OFF 2 DAYS LATER SES LIGHT BACK ON AND FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING WENT AND HAD TESTED SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER YEARS BUT FOR WHAT EVER REASON NISSAN DID NOT RECALL THIS YEAR. COMPANY NEED TO RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE. *JS”

“UPON FILLING MY 2007 NISSAN XTERRA ON JULY 11, 2011, I NOTICED THAT MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THAT MY FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED NEAR ZERO. AS I DROVE AWAY THE FUEL GAUGE GRADUALLY ROSE TO INDICATE A FULL TANK. WHEN I WENT TO MY NISSAN DEALER TO CHECK THE ERROR CODE HE INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE "FUEL SENDING UNIT". WHICH WOULD COST $300-$400 TO REPAIR SINCE I HAD JUST EXCEEDED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY MILEAGE COVERAGE LIMITATIONS. IN READING THE DESCRIPTIONS OF OTHER OWNERS OF NISSAN TRUCKS AND SUVS IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH A FACTORY RECALL. *TR”

“I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SENSOR. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. NOT TO MENTION THAT WHEN I FILL UP MY VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT SENSE THAT ITS FULL. IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME OR EVEN BOTTOM OUT SHOWING THE LIGHT THAT ITS EMPTY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL AND HARD TO TELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT HAS HAPPEN TO MANY OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES. *KB”

“I HAVE A 2007 XTERRA WITH 42K. I FILLED IT AT THE GAS STATION AND NOTICED RIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE STATION THAT THE GAUGE STILL SAID A QUARTER OF A TANK. SO I PULLED OVER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTARTED IT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON. AS I WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE GAUGE SLOWLY STARTED RISING TO THE FULL MARK. MY CAR DIDN'T PASS STATE REGISTRATION WITH THE SES ON. *KB”
