| Description of the problem | Check engine soon light came on and dealer said was fuel sensor failure. Cost $600 b/c i'm past warranty though only 40k on 2005 xterra. There is a recall b/c same problem on other year models of xterra.. Many complaints re: same problem on same 2005 xterra on internet. One site documented 116 -same complaint same 2005 xterra. Safety issue b/c do not know how much fuel is in truck at any time. Called nissan customer service and was told to make sure truck "full of gas". Said they've had many complaints but at this point no recall on 2005 xterra. No solution. Engine can quit if out of gas--crash inevitable, stranded in remote location or unsafe environment with little or no warning. Error code: po463. |
