I wonder if there may be a recall or something. Have you asked a service adviser or parts person at the dealer to see if they've many others with the same issue?

You probable broke the floater or it came off. Either way you have to have the tank dropped. And no that is not a recall or common problem that usually happens when it is driven hard or a sudden hard bump at a weird angle or it may just be a bad part.

Summary NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND MODEL YEAR 2008 FRONTIER, XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES.

Consequence THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL IN TRAFFIC, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

My 06 Frontier had the same problem. Took it to nissan and they replaced the sensor with a new part. Total cost $.00

Just make an appointment, it should still be under warranty

Yeah, there's lots of info on this, it affects Frontiers, pathfinders and xterras. My 2005 isn't included even though it is showing all the problems (doesn't work.) Your '07 is definately though.
