| Description of the problem | The "check engine" light on my 07 xterra went off when leaving my garage. Using my scangauge, i found out my engine was showing error code p0463. When we got home i jumped on the net and discovered that it meant my fuel level sensor was malfunctioning and that, while no real threat to my safety was posed other than possibly running out of gas by surprise, it seems this is a very common problem with xterras. So common in fact, that previous generation nissans were actually recalled for a similar issue. Unfortunately, no recall has been placed on the part for the 2nd gen yet, and so nissan customers are being forced to have the dealer make the repair to the tune of about $600. Also it seem like a lot of other people are having the same issue with this faulty part according to the internet. |
