2007 NISSAN XTERRA Electrical System Problems

There is usual rust on body of truck. There is some kind of electrical problem rather it’s the security system or wiring. There’s a clicking sound coming from dash area. There is a suspension problem, has to change leaf springs, struts and shocks often.

WHEN I FILL MY 2007 NISAN XTERRA SUV WITH GAS THE GAS REGISTER ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL NOT SHOW FULL UNTIL I HAVE DRIVEN IT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AND THEN IT WILL REGISTER FULL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON WHEN I GO TO FILL IT UP.

UPON FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THE FUEL INDICATOR READS EMPTY. AFTER 30-40 MILES OF DRIVING, THE FUEL INDICATOR RETURNS TO NORMAL. AT ROUGHLY 1/4 TANK REMAINING ON THE INDICATOR, THE VEHICLE TOOK 14.7 GALLONS OF GAS, WHICH MEANS IT WAS NEARLY EMPTY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN CLAIMS DOES NOT AFFECT THIS VEHICLE, AS IDENTIFIED BY THE VIN REPORTED ABOVE. CLEARLY THIS IS THE ISSUE ADDRESSED BY CAMPAINGN ID PC 042/NHTSA # 10V-075. NISSAN DENIES THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR BEGAN FLASHING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STARTED IDLING ROUGHLY AND FELT THAT IT WOULD SHUT OFF. THE DEALER (BAKER NISSAN, 19630 NORTHWEST FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77065, (832) 604-3495) AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,100.

BOCH NISSAN SOUTH ( FORMERLY NISSAN VILLAGE)SOLD ME A TRUCK ON MARCH 30, 2013 WHERE THEY ROLLED BACK THE ODOMETER & FAILED TO MENTION 2 SERIOUS ACCIDENTS IN 2011 PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE MARCH 2013. I BELIEVE WE WERE SHOWN A DIFFERENT CAR FAX I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SALESMAN'S WIFE'S TRUCK THAT SHE HAD JUST TRADED IN. I HAVE HAD VERY SERIOUS ISSUES THAT MADE NO SINCE FOR A TRUCK THAT HAD BEEN BABYED BY ME . COMPLETE ENIGEN FIRE IN FEBUARY NUREMOUS OIL LEAKS & RADIATOR MIXING WITH THE COOLANT OIL PAST 10 MONTHS. I BROUGHT IT INTO TO NISSIAN BOCH SOUTH OF NORTH ATTLEBORO IN APRIL THEY ACCUSED ME OF ROLLING BACK THE ODOMETER. I WAS HORRIFIED TOLD THEM YOU GUYS SOLD ME THIS TRUCK. I WENT HOME AND ORDERED A CARFAX AND IT CLEARLY HAPPENED AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WENT IN FOR REPAIRS ON...

FUEL GAUGE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING - SHOWS ON EMPTY EVEN AT FULL TANK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PERMANENTLY ON DUE TO THIS ISSUE

I BROUGHT THIS CAR IN 2007 AND HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES,AND HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR REGULARLY. I WAS DRIVING RECENTLY AND ONLY HAD 91K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION JUST SUDDENLY WENT WITHOUT WARNING.

I PARK THE CAR AND WHEN I CAME BACK COULDN'T START. THOUGHT IT WAS A BATTERY PROBLEM. TRIED JUMP START WITH MY OTHER CAR, NO LUCK. LEFT IN THE PARKING LOT FOR A FEW DAYS. CAME BACK AND HOOK MY CODE READER AND IT SHOWS U1000. U1000 IS GROUND HARNESS PROBLEM. I TRIED TO CLEAN THE BATTERY TERMINALS BOTH SIDES BUT NO LUCK. SO TOWED THE CAR TO DARCARS NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME NEED TO REPLACE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION. THEY SAID WILL COST $4700?.SO I STARTED RESEARCHING AND FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN XTERRA 2005-2007 AND EVEN NEW MODELS HAD RADIATION FLUID LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION. SO HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF I HAVE HARNESS GROUNDING PROBLEMS OR ?RADIATION FLUID LEAK INTO TRANSMISSION? DANG. DARCARS NISSAN SERVICE CENTER NEVER MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT CODE U1000 WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR. SO NOW WHAT??? *TR

IT HAS SAME PROBLEMS AS ALL THE 02-08 XTERRAS BUT YOU WONT ISSUE RECALLS ON FUEL SENSOR, RADIATOR LEAKING INTO TRANNY, AIR BAG SENSORS, CONTROL ARM. THANKS FOR LETTING LOYAL NISSAN OWNERS DOWN!!!! *TR

THE FRONT DRIVER WINDOW WILL NOT GO UP. THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW IS ALSO BREAKING DOWN. I'VE HEARD THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH NISSAN'S WINDOWS. IS THERE A RECALL FOR 2007? *TR

ONE DAY I WENT TO PUT MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DOWN, AS IT WENT DOWN I HEAR A WEIRD SOUND. WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE WINDOW BACK UP IT DIDN'T GO UP. I ENDED UP GOING TO WORK AND WHEN I GOT OFF I TRIED IT AGAIN, IT WENT UP. THINKING IT WAS JUST A ONE TIME THING A COUPLE DAYS LATER I PUT THE WINDOW DOWN TO TALK TO MY HUSBAND, DIDN'T GO BACK UP AGAIN. THIS TIME WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE SOMEWHERE THAT WOULD TAKE AN HOUR AND A HALF TO GET THERE, THEREFORE, WE HAD TO TRAVEL WITH THE WINDOW DOWN THERE AND BACK. RESULTING IN WORSE GAS MILEAGE AND CONSTANT WIND. WHEN WE GOT HOME MY HUSBAND HAD TO TRY TO TAKE SOME OF THE WINDOW APART TO GET THE WINDOW BACK UP. AFTER MY HUSBAND LOOKED AT IT IT SEEM TO BE THE...

THE RADIATOR FLUID LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINED THE TRANSMISSION AND VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY. THE CAR WILL NOT RUN AND STALLED OUT IN AN INTERSECTION. *TR

CAR WILL NOT UPSHIFT SOMETIMES SEEMS ELECTRICAL. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THE VEHICLE WOULD MAKE A LARGE VIBRATING SOUND AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS WOULD KEEP GETTING WORSE UNTIL I HAD TO BRING IT TO A SHOP, OVERALL JUST ABOUT A WEEK. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS WERE MIXING AND THAT I NEEDED A FLUID FLUSH A LONG WITH A NEW RADIATOR. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER, MY CAR JUST WOULDN'T START ONE MORNING. I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AGAIN, HOPING IT IS JUST A MINOR FIX THIS TIME. THIS TIME THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM. LUCKILY I WASN'T DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OTHERWISE WHO KNOWS WHAT DAMAGE IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED TO THE CAR OR TO ME. *JS

MY WIFE REFUELED HER VEHICLE AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAS GAUGE THEN WENT FROM FULL TO ZERO AND LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON. SOON AFTER, THE TMPS SENSOR ALSO WENT OUT. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE GAS CAP BEING LOSE, BUT IT WASN'T. THE GAS GAUGE WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND IT IS A HAZARD TO BE DRIVEN ON THE ROAD, ESPECIALLY IF SHE RUNS OUT OF GAS. *TR

THE AIRBAG LITE BEGAN FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY FIX ACTION WAS TO BEGIN REPLACING PARTS THAT NISSAN RECOMMENDED UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. NO EXACT FIX WAS GIVEN ONLY THE FOLLOWING: VISUALLY CHECK WIRING HARNESS FOR CONNECTION AND DAMAGE. ALL OK. NEXT STEP IN PROCEDURE IS TO REPLACE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURES ARE TO REPLACE SPIRAL CABLE, THEN DIAGNOSTIC UNIT, AND RELATED HARNESS. THESE ARE ALL COSTLY STEPS AND THE PARTS BEING REPLACED MAY NOT BE BAD. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T DETERMINE EXACTLY WHICH PORTION WAS FAILING. IN CONCLUSION: THE FIX ACTION WAS BEING REPLACING PARTS (EXTREMELY COSTLY) UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. COMPUTER CODE: B1054 (DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE OPEN).

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. AT ABOUT 61000 MILES I FILLED THE GAS TANK. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR I NOTICED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS STILL SITTING ON EMPTY. SOON THEREAFTER THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH INSTRUMENTS AND HAS NOT GONE OFF SINCE. I NOTICE THERE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ABOUT 156 OF THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH MANY OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ITEM. *TR

VEHICLE HAD TOTAL FAILURE ON HIGHWAY. NISSAN DEALER SAYS IT IS FROM TRANSMISSION CONTAMINATION. TCM TOTALLY FAILED, NO POWER. *TR

EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT FUEL GAGE OPERATION AND INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DIAGNOSED AS P0463 ECM ERROR CODE (FUEL LEVEL SENSOR). NISSAN HAS CONFIRMED THE ERROR CODE AND REFUSES TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT BECAUSE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY DESPITE PREVIOUS RECALLS ON OTHER YEAR MODELS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE TPMS WARNING FLASHES THEN STAYS ON.... ALL CODES WERE READ AND ADDRESSED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND ALL SENSORS WERE CONFIRMED IN WORKING ORDER. LIGHT GONE AFTER CODES WERE CLEARED BUT RETURNED WITHIN THE HOUR WHILE DRIVING. IS IT A SENSOR OR THE COMPUTER GOING BAD IN THIS AREA? 2007 NISSAN XTERRA. *TR

GAS GAUGE DOES NOT WORK AND THE SES LIGHT STAYS ON. I DID RESEARCH THAT TURNED UP THAT THE 2006 AND 2008 MODELS ARE EFFECTED BY A RECALL FOR THE GAS TANK COLLAPSING AND CRUSHING THE LEVEL SENSOR. THIS IS POTENTIALLY THE EXACT SITUATION THAT I AM SEEING WITH THE 2007 MODEL AND ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THE DESIGN CHANGED, THEN CHANGED BACK TO THE FAULTY DESIGN OVER THE THREE YEARS WITH OUT THE RECALL BEING ISSUE UNTIL 3/22/11. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

NISSAN XTERRA 2007. P0463 SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING DISPLAY STARTED ON THE DASH AND INACCURATE FUEL READING. ONLY 39,800 ORIGINAL MILEAGE ON SPEEDOMETER. *TR

ERROR CODE P0463, FUEL SENSOR ERROR. WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL, THE GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY (LESS THEN E ACTUALLY) UNTIL SOME OF THE FUEL IS USED AND THEN THE GAUGE REGISTERS ACCURATELY (I THINK). *TR
