| Description of the problem | Http://x. Nissanhelp. Com/forums/xterra/4151-fuel-gauge-problem-service-engine-soon-light. Html "i had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. After filling up my gas tank, i turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. I went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles apparently this is a bigger problem than i thought... There def. Needs to be a recall!! A couple wks ago i went to the gas station to fill up, i was at about a 1/4 of a tank. After filling, got in the vehicle, turned it on, and saw that it was still saying i had a quarter of a tank. Anyways, i ignored it until a couple miles down the road the "service engine soon" light came on. Went directly to nissan dealership and was told that i needed part number 25060- fuel level sensor i did a search and found out i'm not alone. Went to the gas station tonight with a little less then 3/4 tank and filled it up - had to stop at the store anyway so i gassed up. Anyway, driving down the road, i looked down and my fuel gauge is on empty and the light on. Interesting, i thought. Then the check engine comes on later. He, i was thinking some kind of gas pocket or something so i got home and un did the gas cap, and disconnect the battery. The check engine cleared, but the fuel empty is still there. I have a 2005 frontier. Bought my truck new in 1/05 and now has 47k miles. It's been a great truck but i hope these things don't keep creeping up. Learned a few things on this issue. We were out of warranty as well and had to pay out of pocket for 2005 xterra w/44,000 miles to get it fixed...... Kind of a rear end burner. Anyway use the p/n 25060-zs00a on the service bulletin # ntb07-69a. This p/n is for the sender unit "only" @ $97. 00 only vs. The sender unit & pump assembly @ $290. 00. A lot of dealers don't have this part number. |
