 Description of the problemWent to the gas station to fill up my 2007 nissan xterra. Afterward, the fuel gauge read 3/4 full instead of 100% full, then a few minutes later dropped below "e" and the "service engine soon" light came on. A simple internet search informed me that this is a very common problem with not only 2007 nissan xterras, but other years as well, due to a faulty part used by nissan in the fuel sending unit. I had the error code pulled (p0463) and it came back to the fuel sending unit. Nissan has a technical service bulletin for this code, so they are fully aware of the problem, what the cause of the problem is, and what is necessary to fix it. My car stalled on the freeway the other day in the number two lane, thanks to the fuel sending unit not working properly. I had four children in my car at the time. Luckily, there was quite a bit of traffic so the danger level was low considering we were on the freeway, however if we were not in traffic, things would have been much more serious. Nissan claims that this is not a safety issue and will therefore not issue a recall, however i strongly disagree and feel that my recent experience proves that a faulty fuel sending unit is a safety issue. I was told by a service rep at my dealership that all 2007s were initially a part of the most recent recall for replacing fuel sending units, however nissan changed the recall to only include certain 2007 xterra vin #s, yet 2006 and 2008 models are a part of the recall. Since the recall began, i've been receiving letters every month from my dealership offering to buy the car back from me. This does not sit well with me.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
