What owners wrote
Nissan frontier 4.0 se crew cab fuel sending unit is defective. There is a service bulletin but nissan should be forced to do a recall. Any amount of research on the engine code p0463 will turn up 100s of problems. Mine has stopped working making the gas hand slow to respond and must be replaced. Nissan has issued a new part with the service bulletin so maybe replacing it will last, but still should be a recall.
