| Description of the problem | I have nissan xterra '07 with 41k miles on it. On our 4-th of july trip after fueling up the full tank i noticed that the fuel level needle did not go up after i started the engine. It took ~30 minutes then it went all the way up. But then while driving i noticed that the "engine service soon" light is on and the fuel level needle is all the way down (like no fuel at all.) then i read that the ess lights up when the vehicle thinks there is no fuel so it was obviously a fuel level sensor malfunction. Later i investigated more and found out that a lo of people with xterras 05-07 have the same problem at approximately the same mileage. The p/n 25060-zs00a on the service bulletin # ntb07-69a. I think all these defective fuel level sensors should be recalled. |
