NHTSA Complaint #10588400 — 2005 NISSAN FRONTIER

MY NISSAN FRONTIER TRUCK'S "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT APPEARED. THE WARNING WAS DTC P0463. IT CORRESPONDS WITH NISSAN'S TECHNICAL BULLETIN EL07-027B, REFERENCE NTB07-069B. NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 9/24/11 AND 72,000 MILES OR LESS. MY VEHICLE'S MILEAGE IS AT 32,500 MILES. NISSAN RECOGNIZED THAT IT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE MUCH. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET. MANY OF THE PROBLEMS APPEARED AT THE 30,000 MILE MARK. MY FUEL GAUGE IS ERRATIC AND DOES NOT SHOW AN ACCURATE LEVEL OF FUEL. THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE DETERIORATION OF THE UNIT BASED ON USE AND NOT TIME; THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD EITHER RECALL THIS PART OR EXTEND THE WARRANTY WITH EITHER THE TIME OR MILEAGE OR UNLIMITED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY FUEL WILL RUN OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH NISSAN. THEY DON'T TAKE OWNERSHIP OVER THEIR PROBLEMS. I PERSONALLY WILL NOT PURCHASE A NISSAN VEHICLE AGAIN. *TR
