| Description of the problem | Yesterday morning the fuel gauge in my 2007 nissan frontier 4 x 4 (approximately 46,000 miles) appeared to work normally when it showed perhaps 30 miles left to drive before empty. It took almost 20 gallons to fill it up. After filling up fully, the fuel gauge showed about a quarter of a tank and the "service engine soon" light came on. Today the fuel gauge shows about 5/8ths of a tank left, with my having driven about 10 miles since filling up. It seems the 2007 nissan frontiers have the same problem as the 2006 and 2008 models that are being recalled. Unless nissan changed parts or design in 2007, it makes no sense why the fuel gauge problem of 2006 should have skipped 2007 and reappeared in 2008! (with regard to my truck, nothing has been done to correct the fuel gauge failure. The problem looks to be persistent, and the safety issue of running out of gas in traffic is the same as for the to-be-recalled 2006 and 2008 models). |
