| 2006 nissan xterra obdii error code p0463 - fuel level sensor a circuit high input: essentially, filling up your gas tank is not registered by the gas gauge, so you run the risk of running out of gas and getting stranded somewhere. the estimated repair cost is very high ... | |||

| Error code p0463 i had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. after filling up my gas tank, i turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. after driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. i went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. after returning home and doing research, i went online to x.nissanhelp.com after performing a search, i came across many others who have experienced the same problem. apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. a similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger. it seems that something in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. there is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 3 years and with around 39k-49k. if this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. cost of repair ranges from $300-600. *tr | |||

| The gas sign drops after filling up indicating e with a light on and the check engine light comes on which has stayed on ever since june 5, 2009. there are times when we would switch drivers and wouldn't know how much gas there are, that's a problem. we purchased the nissan x-terra in 2007, but it is the model year 2006. the problem does occur within two years after purchasing the vehicle. we believe there should be a recall on repairing our vehicle because it is apparent that the defect came from the manufacturing of the vehicle. we are still stuck with this problem and we shouldn't have to pay for repairs. if this problem doesn't get solved, there will be further actions. figuring that since we are loyal customers, there should be some kind of understanding. *tr | |||

| I purchased this xterra in may of 2006. in the past 8 weeks i have had to have my 06 nissan xterra towed to the dealer six times for the same issue of not starting. the first time i was told i was out of gas. since then, i've been told the security module had gone bad, i had corrosion on the battery terminal causing it to go in to stolen mode, the fuel pump had gone bad (replaced twice), and the wiring harness to the fuel pump had a short in it (replaced twice). the dealer says they have not been able to replicate the problem and want to give me my car back without actually finding out the real issue. this is my family vehicle and i do not do any towing or off-road with it. prior to these issues, my transmission went out at 11k miles and left me stranded on the side of an interstate for over 3 hours while i waited for a tow truck, and have had to have the fuel gauge sensor, catalytic converter, and tire pressure sensors replaced. *tr | |||

| I turned on my 2006 nissan xterra the other day and saw my check engine light was on. i knew this was clearly wrong as i just had my car serviced. two days later i turned on my car and the gas gauge quit working completely. it fluctuates up and down. i went on the internet and researched this and found this to be a problem in many nissan's. this clearly is a defect that should be dealt with. it costs between $300 and $600 to fix and loyal nissan owners should not be penalized for nissan's mismanagement. *tr | |||
