What owners wrote
The fuel gage would read between 1/2 and 1/4 tank. The truck would not pick up fuel in the tank thus the moter would shut off. This occured four time on major highways, ( 58 in calf, 15 in las vegas, 40 in arizona). The truck was in the dealer four times, upon the fifth occurance the potential for loss of life, due to a class 3 accident, is too great. The running out of gas occured in trafic and with tractor trailers behind us. I'm just glad they locked up there brakes and we were not hit and killed.
2000 nissan frontier fuel sending unit set off service engine light. This was a recall which was repaired on 6 sept 2007 fuel tank and sending unit were replaced. Vehicle had 62698 miles then. Now fuel sending unit set off service engine light again at 73444 miles. Gas tank corroded around sending unit just 3 years and 11000 miles later. Fuel tank and sending unit were replaced again, at my expense. How was this a fixed recall when nissan still has the same problem and will not pay for it?
