2005 Nissan XTERRA Fuel System, Other Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	706158
Internal NHTSA #	10253235
Manufacurer	NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	XTERRA
Model Year	2005
File date	01/11/08
Component	FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	1. Normal use of vehicle. City driving mostly. 2. Fuel gauge needle does not correctly show the amount of fuel after initially filling up the gas tank. After some minutes of driving, the needle correctly shows a full tank. Then after about 3/4 fuel level, the needle drops back to empty. Additionally, the digital gauge does not accurately compute fuel miles left and mpg. This behavior repeats each time the fuel tank is filled. Without these functions i am unable to determine how much fuel i have left in the tank. Leaving the possibility for being stranded somewhere, if i do not accurately guess at how much gas is left. 3. Nothing was done (yet) to correct the failure. A mechanic told me it the problem is probably caused by a malfunction fuel sending unit/sensor. I have also confirmed the diagnosis on x. Nissanhelp. Com. I am awaiting to determine if these vehicles could be recalled by the dealers and/or nissan, as it appears many people are having the same issue.
