| Description of the problem | I filled up my tank and after setting for a minute idling i noticed my gas gauge was below empty and the distance to empty light was on and reading -----. My original thought was that i didn't tighten my gas cap enough, but i always do. A minute later the service engine soon light comes on. I have a 2007 frontier crew cab nismo with 67,000 miles. While driving home the gas gauge slowly worked its way up to just below full and the ses light is still on. I have not driven very much more to see if the gas gauge works properly. I have been checking through my extended warranty, which extends out to 72 months or 100,000 and it does show that the gas sending unit is covered. After visiting the following forum: http://x. Nissanhelp. Com/forums/xterra/4151-fuel-gauge-problem-service-engine-soon-light. Html, i noticed many other people with 2005-2007 nissan frontier, xterra and pathfinders are having this same issue and the dealers are charging 400-700 dollars to fix. Many of these people are out of their warranty period and have to pay out of pocket. My warranty requires me to pay a 100 dollar deductible. Sounds like this fuel sending unit deserves a recall. |
