| Description of the problem | The fuel gage does not register "fuel" properly on both computer & gage every time we fill up the tank. The service engine soon light stays on constantly. When you fill up the tank, the gage goes to empty and low fuel light comes on. The computers shows a reading that says -------. Eventually gage will slowly go back up to full and the miles left will show on computer. When it gets down to half to quarter full, "miles left" no longer appear and fuel stops registering on the gage. This is a 2005 nissan frontier nismo crew cab truck with only 53,000 miles. My understanding is that it is error code p0463 and that our truck needs a new fuel sending unit. Apparently there are many nissan vehicles this is happening too. The cost is approximately $600 which is ridiculous on a vehicle with only 53,000. There is obviously a defect in this part and nissan should recall this part. |
