2006 Nissan XTERRA Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1239505
Internal NHTSA #	10792171
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	XTERRA
Model Year	2006
File date	15/06/13
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Fuel sending unit ceased to function. Dealership said the vehicle was not on the recall list. Full tank registers after 50 or so miles and then drops to empty around 120 miles. We are forced to fill the tank full, reset the odometer and never go past 325 miles. Twice i have been travelling at freeway speeds when the car steering locks up and vehicle loses power. Both times i have been lucky to be able to limp off to the side of the road without incident. Both times occurred late at night and alone. One location i was forced to walk along the road until my phone registered a signal. I believe this occurred around 70,000 miles. To date, we have not fixed the problem and if we lived in an emissions controlled city, we probably would not be driving it right now as it has thrown a code and activated the check engine light. I'm curious to know who qualified to have this repaired. Based on what i have read, not many and certainly not those who too have experienced the problem. I loved my xterra but due to the lack of care and issues ignored by nissan, i steer people away from buying one.
