| Description of the problem | Just finished reading through 23 pages of complaints going back to 2008 regarding failure of the fuel level sender unit--primarily on 2007 nissan frontiers. Mine failed at approximately 69,000 miles in february 2020, with the same symptoms that numerous other owners experienced: upon filling the tank, the gauge would drop to zero, the low fuel light would illuminate as would the check engine light--my code reader displayed a 463 code, fuel level sensor failure. The gauge would gradually go to full, and operate normally until it read just under half full, when it would again drop to zero. While the failure fell within the 72000 mile extended warranty, the year didn't, so nissan refused to make the repairs. I have to join the chorus of 2007 frontier owners wondering why identical 2006 and 2008 models--with exactly the same sender--were subject to a safety recall, but not the 2007s. It's an obvious safety issue, or the fuel gauge sender's performance wouldn't be included as an error code in the obd ii system. How about working the problem, ntsha? It's not too late! |
