2006 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel System Problems

Your fuel gauge is not working correctly — it shows your tank is full when it's actually empty, causing you to run out of gas unexpectedly on the road. This has happened twice and created dangerous situations where you've had to push your vehicle in traffic. Although a recall was supposedly completed on your vehicle, the problem persists, suggesting the repair may not have been done properly.

Your fuel gauge is jumping between full and empty without warning, making it impossible to know how much gas is actually in your tank. A dealer diagnosed this as a faulty fuel level sensor that's also causing your fuel pump to fail. The fuel pump will need to be replaced to fix the issue.

The complaint references an attached document that wasn't provided in this submission, so the specific fuel system issue cannot be determined. To help you, NHTSA would need the detailed description of what's happening with your fuel system.

WHILE DRIVING CAR WOULD ACT AS IF IT WERE GOING TO SHUT OFF..WE WERE NEVER INFORMED OF RECALLS AND WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND WAS INFORMED RADIATOR WAS LEAKING ON TRANSMISSION AND WE WOULD REQUIRE UP TO $3,500 FOR REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDED A USED TRANSMISSION

FUEL READ EMPTY AT THE GAUGE EVEN IF FUEL TANK IS FULL. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT IS ALSO LIT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AN UNKNOWN RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO MODERN NISSAN OF WINSTON-SALEM (5795 UNIVERSITY PKWY, WINSTON-SALEM, NC 27105, (336) 767-8260) AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN GAS GAUGE NEARS 1/4 FULL THE NEEDLE EITHER STICKS OR DROPS TO EMPTY. THE GAUGE DOES NOT RETURN TO FULL FOR SEVERAL TRIPS OR DAYS. NISSAN HAS HAD RECALLS FOR THIS BUT INDICATES MY VIN # IS NOT ON THEIR LIST. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS EXACTLY AS IT IS DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL. I HAVE COMPENSATED FOR THIS BY KEEPING TRACK OF MY MILEAGE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, VIBRATED, AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE THE ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIESTA NISSAN (2005 ST MICHAELS DR., SANTA FE, NM 87505, (505) 955-1000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

THE SCANNER IS SHOWING DTC P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR "A" CIRCUIT HIGH. WHY MOST CAR ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND MINE HAS NOT? THIS PROBLEM IS PREVENTING THE SYSTEM FROM SHOWING THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE ENGINE FAILS AND STOP. PLEASE ADVISE.

MY HUSBAND HAS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO A FAULTY READING ON THE GAS GAUGE. HE HAD TO WALK FROM THE HIGHWAY IN RECORD LOW COLD TO THE GAS STATION WITH HIS DISABILITY IN THE COLD WEATHER TO GET GAS AND BACK. THE DEALER STATES OUR TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND BELIEVE THIS TO BE UNFAIR. IF THIS IS A KNOW RECALL IT SHOULD BE FIX AND SHOULD NOT MATTER IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS LISTED AS THE CARS AFFECTED ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A KNOW ISSUE. HE COULD HAVE DIED!

FUEL GAUGE WAS READING INCORRECT AND I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS NHSTA RECAL ID 10V075000. THE CHEC ENGINE LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED AND I HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED IN ORDER TO GET AN INSPECTION STICKER IN MASSACHUSETTS.

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT LIT UP WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN UNDER NISSAN PC042 AND NHTSA# 10V-075. THE NISSAN DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS OF PARTS AND LABOR EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE RECALL. I NEED TO GET REIMBURSED BASED ON THIS RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

IN 3/2017 I RECEIVED NHTSA SAFETY RECALL NO. 10V-075 FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN ON 3/31/2017 FOR THIS WORK TO BE PERFORMED KNOWING THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING THE GAS TANK FLOAT. AFTER THE WORK WAS PERFORMED THE FUEL GAUGE GIVES FALSE READINGS: WHEN THE GAUGE REACHES ABOUT 1/2 FULL IT DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE "DISTANCE TO EMPTY" COMPUTER SAYS 12 MILES LEFT UNTIL RUNNING OUT OF GAS. WHEN FILLING UP WITH WITH THE GAUGE READING EMPTY AND 12 DTE THE TANK WILL ONLY ACCEPT 12 GALLONS AND IT'S A 21.1 GALLON CAPACITY TANK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO SCOTT CLARK NISSAN IN CHARLOTTE, NC 4/12/2017 AND 6/28/2017. I'VE ALSO FILED A FORMAL CASE/COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA: 27312766. NISSAN IS REFUSING TO FIX THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE MALFUNCTION WAS A RESULT OF THE SAFETY RECALL WORK. THIS POSES A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WE DO NOT KNOW IF/WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF FUEL. AGAIN, I'VE TRIED TO WORK WITH SCOTT CLARK NISSAN IN CHARLOTTE, NC AND NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN IN GOOD FAITH TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. THEY ARE REFUSING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SAFETY RECALL MAKING THE VEHICLE LESS SAFE AFTER THE WORK WAS PERFORMED. ATTACHED PLEASE FIND A LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF NISSAN NORTH AMERICAN, JOSE MUNOZ AND THE UPS DELIVERY CONFIRMATION.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING LEAVING ME WITHOUT GAS EVEN THOUGH IT SAID I HAD GAS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN CAR SHUT OFF. BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR PROBLEM AND THE BAD ENGINE SWITCH NISSAN ONLY FIXED MY BAD ENGINE SWITCH. THE FUEL GAUGE HAD MESSED UP BEFORE LAST YEAR (I FILLED IT BUT GAUGE DIDN'T MOVE STILL SHOWED EMPTY). I SEARCHED AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. NOT SURE WHY BUT I WISH IT WAS BECAUSE IT COULD OF BEEN DEADLY. I THINK THEY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR VIN NUMBERS. THE *TR

THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELL DEFORMED, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO MALFUNCTION. THERE WAS A RECALL FROM NISSAN FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT NISSAN SAID THAT MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TO MY PATHFINDER. *TR

WHILE RESEARCHING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, MY HUSBAND CAME ACROSS RECALL #10V075000 FOR THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FOR 2006 PATHFINDERS. AFTER ALL THE TRANSMISSION/RADIATOR REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED (ANOTHER ISSUE THAT NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE OF BUT HAS NOT REMEDIED) MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THE CODE READ. THEY PUT IT ON A CODE READER AND TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO BRING MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN AND THAT THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID FOR OUT OF MY POCKET. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WHERE I WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP: 1) ASK FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CODE ON THE PART 2) GET THE NAME OF THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND DEALERSHIP 3) GET AN ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR/REPLACEMENT AND I WAS GIVEN A CASE NUMBER. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HAD ALL OF THOSE THINGS ACCOMPLISHED. I THEN CALLED BACK AND GAVE NISSAN ALL THE REQUIRED INFORMATION AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK WITH A DECISION. 2 DAYS LATER SOMEONE FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALLED ME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR SINCE MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH THAT PERSONS SUPERVISOR AND WAS TOLD THAT SUPERVISORS DID NOT HAVE CUSTOMER CONTACT..SO MUCH FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT MY CAR IS SHOWING ALL OF THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS THAT GO ALONG WITH THIS PROBLEM INCLUDING; MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, THE COMPUTER SHOWING THE CODE FOR THE ISSUE, MY DIGITAL GAS GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY, MY REGULAR GAS GAUGE NOT GOING BELOW TANK, AND ALMOST RUNNING OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. . I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO RELY ON MY ODOMETER TO INDICATE WHEN I SHOULD REFILL MY GAS TANK.

FUEL GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS PROPERLY. WHEN IT GETS TO 1/4 TANK OF GAS IT WILL DROP TO EMPTY. NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK AT THIS POINT MAKING IT HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE. ONCE FILLED, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL NOT GIVE AN ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST 50 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. *TR

GETTING READY TO GO OUT TO SHOP GOT IN THE CAR STARTED IT UP AND THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE YELLOW LIGHT CAME ON. THINKING IT WAS OUT OF GAS WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IT UP AND IT WAS ALREADY FULL SINCE THEN THE LIGHT HAS REMAINED ON AND THE GAUGE STILL READS EMPTY. ALSO THE TRIP DATA WILL NOT SHOW IT JUST HAS A STRAIGHT LINE THAT RUNS ACROSS. AS OF THEN HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT DUE TO THE SAFETY OF NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS IN THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO ACCURATELY MEASURE THE FUEL LEVELS IN THE RESERVE TANK. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THERE WAS GASOLINE IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

MY VEHICLE, AS I HAD THOUGHT, HAD 1/4 TANK OF GAS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWED NO GAS WHATSOEVER AND MY GAS LIGHT TURNED ON. WHILE DRIVING ANOTHER 20 MILES TO MY NEAREST GAS STATION, MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOWLY DE-ACCELERATE. I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND MY CAR NO LONGER HAD SPEED AND I REALIZED IT WAS BECAUSE I HAD NO GAS WHEN I THOUGHT I DID. I WAS ABLE TO PUT GAS ON MY CAR AND SURE ENOUGH IT STARTED RUNNING AGAIN BUT BEING THAT I ONLY PUT ABOUT 10 GALLONS OF GAS, MY GAS LIGHT STILL STAYED ON AND MY NOZZLE STILL SHOWED BELOW THE EMPTY LINE. I WAS WORRIED EVERY DAY THAT I WOULD RUN OUT AND SURE ENOUGH THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES. BEFORE THAT THOUGH, I VIEWED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND SURE ENOUGH THERE WAS ONE. I DECIDED TO CALL MY LOCAL NISSAN AND AFTER PROVIDING MY VIN #, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL UNDER THE SPECIFIED ISSUE. IF I WANTED TO FIX IT, IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $450 DOLLARS, WHICH I DID NOT HAVE. I WAS TOLD I CAN PAY A $100 DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO SEE IF MY FUEL SENSOR WAS MESSED UP AND IF IT WAS THEY WOULD SEND NOTICE TO NISSAN HEADQUARTERS TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER MY ISSUE. I HAVE TO FORK OVER $100 FOR THEM TO VIEW MY CAR AND ITS NO GUARANTEE THAT CORP WILL APPROVE FOR NISSAN TO FIX ISSUE. IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE I CAN DO OR HAS ANYBODY HAD SAME ISSUE AS ME? *TR

AT 81,000 MILES A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT STARTED TO CAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THE INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL. THIS IS JUST AFTER EXPIRATION OF NISSAN'S EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 72 MONTHS/72,000 MILES FOR THIS KNOWN FUEL SENDING UNIT ISSUE. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE, A RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED TO JUST FIX THE DEFECTIVE PART AS A PROACTIVE MEASURE. RATHER YOU JUST HAVE TO HOPE IT WILL FAIL BEFORE THE ARBITRARY WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES WHICH I WAS NOT LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAPPEN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT PROVIDING THE ACCURATE READING LEVELS. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGES FAILED TO PROPERLY MONITOR THE LEVEL OF FUEL. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER MADE THE CONTACT AWARE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE); HOWEVER, DUE TO MILEAGE, THE RECALL WOULD NOT BE HONORED.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON A 30 DEGREE MORNING AFTER JUST DROPPING MY SON (DIAGNOSED WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE) TO SCHOOL. HAD THIS BEEN PRIOR TO DROPPING HIM TO SCHOOL HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING IN THE FREEZING VEHICLE FOR 30MINS UNTIL MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO GET TO US AND THIS COULD HAVE AGGRAVATED HIS CONDITION. I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND I AM SHOWING A QUARTER TANK OF GAS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE SO DID NOT THINK THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE VEHICLE STALLED. I THEN CONTACTED MY HUSBANDS AT WORK AND HE HAD TO LEAVE TO COME CHECK ON THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED IT MAY NEED GAS BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE LOOKED OK AND WE HAD JUST COMPLETED A SERVICE WITH NO MENTION OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. HE DROVE ME TO THE GAS STATION IN HIS VEHICLE WHERE WE PURCHASED SOME GAS CAME BACK POURED IT IN THE VEHICLE AND IT STARTED UP AND WAS FINE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (AM). I THEN DECIDED TO CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V075000 WE THEN ADDRESSED THIS WITH NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED THAT ALTHOUGH IT IS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SO CORRECTING THIS ISSUE IS AT MY EXPENSE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AT MY EXPENSE ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE IS A KNOWN IDENTICAL ISSUE WITH THE PART. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WHEN I FILL UP MY GASOLINE TANK THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE SHOWS THAT I DO NOT HAVE ANY GASOLINE; THIS CAUSES THE FUEL WARNING LIGHT TO REMAIN ON. I HAVE COMPLETELY FILLED UP MY TANK A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS. I BELIEVE THERE IS PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE SHOWS INACCURATE LEVELS OF FUEL. I AM AFRAID THAT I MAY RUN OUT OF GAS AND NOT BE IN THE AREA OF A GAS STATION. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I NEED TO KNOW AT ALL TIMES WHAT MY FUEL LEVELS ARE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES. I HAVE NO WAY OF DETERMINING HOW LOW MY FUEL REALLY IS OR HOW MUCH IS IN THE GAS TANK. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST REVEALED A CODE THAT FOUND THE VEHICLE HAD A BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE CONSUMER REFERENCED RECALL # 10V075000. HOWEVER, HE WAS INFORMED THE RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO HIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD. UPDATED 05/27/15. *JB

NISSAN PATHFINDER JUST GOT TO 100,000 MILES WHEN STARTED EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION ISSUES, TURNS OUT THERE WAS A FACTORY WARRANTY THAT I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF THAT WOULD HAVE COVERED THE RADIATOR/TRANSMISSION ISSUE. HOWEVER BECAUSE I WAS NOT HAVING AN ISSUE UNTIL THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED NISSAN IS REFUSING TO COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS DESPITE KNOWING ABOUT THIS ENGINEERING FAULT. IT IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING THAT A LARGE COMPANY SUCH AS NISSAN IS ABLE TO SEND A VEHICLE OUT INTO THE PUBLIC WITH KNOWN ENGINEERING FLAWS AND PUT A MILEAGE LIMIT ON REPAIRING THE ISSUE. IT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL INEVITABLY FAIL BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SO IT MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN THE LIMIT FOR SOME AND OUTSIDE THE LIMIT FOR OTHERS. IT IS MY HOPE THAT YOU WILL EXPOSE THIS SHADY AND UNSAFE PRACTICE THAT NISSAN HAS GOING AND HELP GET PEOPLE THE REPAIRS THEY DESERVE. *TR

VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. VEHICLE DEMONSTRATES AND EXPERIENCES THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000. FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYS 1/4-TANK OF FUEL PRESENT WHEN THIS INFORMATION IS NOT CORRECT. TOOK SAME VEHICLE TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER. ASKED ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC RECALL, AND MY VEHICLES VALID MEMBERSHIP IN THE NHTSA RECALL GROUP. DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT RAN A VIN CHECK IN "THE DATABASE" AND ADVISED ME THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH IT DEMONSTRATES EXACT SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS NISSAN DEALER IS CONFUSING THE NISSAN "VOLUNTARY WARRANTY EXTENSION" PROGRAM DESCRIBED AS, "FUEL SENDING UNIT PROGRAM" WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000 - THE LATTER NOT A VOLUNTARY BUT GOVERNMENT-ORDERED RECALL. IN APRIL, 2014, I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH THREE YOUNG CHILDREN THROUGH THE I-64 TUNNEL UNDER WHERE THE ATLANTIC OCEAN MEETS THE JAMES RIVER IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. OUR VEHICLE ALMOST RAN OUT OF FUEL IN THE UNDERSEA TUNNEL AS I WAS RELYING UPON THE FUEL GAUGE'S REPORT OF JUST OVER 1/4-TANK OF FUEL, WHEN IT WAS IN FACT, NEARLY EMPTY. THANKFULLY, WE WERE ABLE TO CLEAR THE TUNNEL AND MAKE IT TO A NEARBY GAS STATION, WHERE BASED UPON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THE VEHICLE TOOK, WE WERE RUNNING "ON FUMES" AND COULD HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS - THEREBY BLOCKING TRAFFIC INSIDE THE TUNNEL.

I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL DON'T KNOW WHY IT DIDN'T REGISTER AS OTHER PATHFINDERS HAVE THIS ISSUE . ALSO DON'T KNOW WHY A MILEAGE WARRANTY IS PUT ON THIS THEY SHOULD FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK REGARDLESS AS IT SEEMS AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE HITS 70K IN MILEAGE THIS BREAKS ON THE VEHICLE. ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THEY INCLUDED ALL PATHFINDERS IN THIS WARRANTY AS I AM SURE THE DEALER WOULD HAVE REPLACED IT IF IT WAS A RECALL. *JB

I FILLED MY TANK OF GAS, BUT THE GAS GAUGE STILL READ EMPTY WITH THE FUEL LIGHT ON. MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. FROM THAT POINT ON I COULD NEVER KEEP TRACK OF MY GAS. IT'S EITHER FULL OR EMPTY. SOMETIMES IT GETS STUCK BETWEEN HALF TANK & QUARTER TANK. I CANNOT KEEP TRACK OF MY MILES TRAVELED BECAUSE ONCE IT REACHES HALF TANK THE FUEL LIGHT GOES ON & THE METER STARTS BLINKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROPERLY DISPLAY THE CORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE LOW FUEL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED EVEN WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS COMPLETELY FILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 180,000.

THE FUEL SENSOR WENT, THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED DOWN TO E AND THE GAS WARNING LIGHT WENT ON, WHICH IN TURN SET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WOULD WORK ONE DAY AND THEN MAYBE NOT THE NEXT, AS OF OCTOBER 2012, IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I TRAVEL WITH 3 CHILDREN, HIGHWAY DRIVING, DAILY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND WHEN I SPOKE TO NISSAN, IT APPARENTLY HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT FOR ONLY CERTAIN VIN #'S, NONE OF WHICH IS MINE. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND KNOWING IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM I HAVE A HARD TIME NOT MAKING NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. IF IT WAS A FLUKE AND IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE, THEN YES I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR IT OR DEAL WITH IT BUT NOT WHEN ITS APPARENT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I TRY TO MATHEMATICALLY FIGURE OUT MY MILEAGE BUT SOME TIMES THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THANK YOU. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, FIRST MY FUEL SENSOR FAILED, AND NOW AT APPROX 92,000 MILES MY VEHICLE HAS THIS HORRIBLE VIBRATION AT 45MPH AND 60 MPH. AFTER THINKING IT WAS MY TIRES OFF BALANCE AND HAVING THEM SERVICED AND AN ALIGNMENT DONE, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND CALLED MY NISSAN SERVICE DEPT. TO MY SURPRISE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS MIXING, CAUSING THE TRANNY TO FAIL. IF THIS IS NOT A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS. PLEASE REVIEW, IT WILL COST THE CONSUMER APPROX $8,000 TO FIX AND NOT TO MENTION THE INCONVENIENCE. IF THIS WERE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN, BUT THERE ARE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS. I EVEN CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. AND AFTER 3 WEEKS I AM STILL WAITING ON A RETURN CALL. I DO HIGHWAY DRIVING AND HAVE 3 CHILDREN IN MY VEHICLE DAILY. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING RECENTLY. I RESEARCHED POSSIBILITIES ON CAUSE AND DISCOVERED VIA THE INTERNET THIS WAS TYPICAL OF THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AND THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND SENDING UNIT HAD ISSUES. NISSAN INFO ON RECALLS INDICATES THAT ABOUT 74,000 VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE/YEAR HAD THAT PROBLEM AND WERE BEING RECALLED. I TOOK IT TO THE GRESHAM, OR NISSAN DEALER ON OCT 17, 2012 AND AFTER A CHECK UP WAS ADVISED MINE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. THAT WILL BE $451 TO REPLACE. I DECLINED AND APPEALED WITH NISSAN - CASE #[XXX]. [XXX], AT NISSAN, 1800-647-7261 X [XXX] SAYS NISSAN CAN'T HELP ME. OCT 29, 2012 VERY CONVENIENT ON THEIR PART AND FRUSTRATING ON MY PART! CAN YOU HELP? THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 94,000.

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DUE TO EMPTY TANK WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED AT LEAST 5 GALLONS (1/4 TANK) LEFT IN THE TANK. *TR

OUR PATHFINDER HAS FAILED AND BEEN "REPAIRED" 7 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S RELATED TO THE ISSUE ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNITS. I WAS EVEN ALSO TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 22K MILES. TO DATE NO LESS THAN 3 UNITS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED (INCLUDING THE NEWLY DESIGNED ONE 2X ) TO ADDRESS PLASTIC GAS TANK ISSUES. ON THREE OCCASIONS WE'VE RUN OUT OF FUEL. IT REGISTERS 1/2 TANK AND THEN WE RUN OUT. OR IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 1/2 TANK AND THEN DROPS TO E AND THE EMPTY FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS WHOLE THING HAS PASSED THE INSANE LEVEL. ONCE I HAD TO PAY 400+ FOR REPAIRS AS THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE WAS EXPIRED. I TRIED TO ARGUE IT WAS COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS REPAIRS BUT THAT'S LIKE SPITTING IN THE WIND (NISSAN AS WELL AS THE DEALER COWELS NISSAN). SINCE THE LAST "REPAIR" A FEW MONTHS AGO IT HAS ALSO FAILED 4 MORE TIMES. WE'RE JUST IN THE HABIT OF USING THE TRIP METER. FIRST QUESTION IS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU POTENTIALLY COULD JUST RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO WITH ALL THESE ERRORS IN THE COMPUTER THE VEHICLE WON'T PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS. LAST TIME NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SENDER UNIT OR AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS OR PAY FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY CLAIMED THE MECHANIC DROVE IT HOME AND FOUND NO ERRORS...IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN HELP OUT WITH THIS ISSUE. WITH ALL THESE REPAIRS ALL THESE PARTS / LABOR WARRANTIED FOR 12M / 12,000 MILES. WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING? CAN SOMEONE ASSIST US HERE ? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

KNOWN ISSUE WITH FUEL SYSTEM (NHTSA ID # 10V075000) NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEMS BUT PUT MILEAGE LIMIT ON DEALER PAID REPAIR. (APPROXIMATELY 1300 MILES OVER) APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURE ISSUES HAVE TIME LIMITS REGARDLESS OF SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS CAUSED DELAYS IN IDENTIFYING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TIMETABLED,INACCURATE AND THEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS IS A FAILURE OF BOTH NISSAN AND THE NHTSA TO ALLOW MILEAGE TO BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN LIMITING OUR SAFETY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW FUEL LEVELS THAT WERE INCONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A TRANSMISSION COOLANT LEAK. THERE WAS ALSO A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL FENDER, PROVIDING INCORRECT READINGS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILLARY TANK) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,667. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,568.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY ACCURATE READINGS. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN EMPTY READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD BEEN HAVING FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. FINALLY AFTER THE ANNOYANCE BECAME TOO MUCH, WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ASSEMBLY THAT INVOLVED A RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY FOR US, WE MISSED THE RECALL BY LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NISSAN KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEN ARBITRARILY CHOSE A DATE WHEN THE RECALL WOULD END THAT WOULD SATISFY THE NHTSA, BUT NOT FULLY COVER THE PERIOD WHEN THIS PROBLEM COULD ARISE. LIMITING THIS RECALL BY DATE CAN PROVE TO BE EXTREMELY PREJUDICIAL TO THE CUSTOMER THAT PURCHASES THE VEHICLE LATER IN THE YEAR; FOR EXAMPLE, PURCHASING THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2006 VERSUS JANUARY 2006 WOULD PLACE THE CONSUMER AT AN ELEVEN MONTH DISADVANTAGE. *TT

AFTER FILLING MY VEHICLE UP WITH FUEL, THE GAUGE STILL READ ONE QUARTER TANK, AND IT TOOK MOST OF THE DAY BEFORE THE GAUGE SLOWLY MOVED UP TO READ FULL. AFTER THAT, WHEN THE TANK WOULD REACH 1/2 FULL, THE GAUGE WOULD START ACTING CRAZY. ONE MINUTE IT WOULD READ 1/2 FULL, THE NEXT SECOND IT WOULD READ EMPTY AND MY GAS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. ALSO, AT HALF FULL DOWN TO ONE QUARTER FULL, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD COME ON. WHEN I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY YEAR AND MODEL VEHICLE, I CALLED NISSAN TO INQUIRE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT DUE TO MY VIN # MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH MY FUEL GAUGE IS EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL COVERED, AND THE PARTS THAT I HAD TO HAVE REPLACED ARE THE SAME PARTS THAT THE RECALL COVERED. I HAD TO PAY $300 TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED, WHEN OBVIOUSLY THE PART COVERED IN THE RECALL WAS ALSO DEFECTIVE IN MY VEHICLE. (CAMPAIGN ID #/NHTSA #: PC042/10V-075; APPLIED VEHICLES 2006 & 2008 PATHFINDER, 2006 & 2008 FRONTIER, 2006 & 2008 XTERRA). *TR

I AM WRITING ABOUT MY RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH NISSAN REGARDING A RECALL ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WHICH I PURCHASED IN MAY OF 2008 AS A PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. THE RECALL WITH THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER OF 10V075000 INVOLVES A FLAW WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM NISSAN REGARDING THIS RECALL, WHICH NISSAN STATES IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE SOMETIME AGO.THREE WEEKS AGO I WAS DOING RESEARCH ONLINE TO TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM.THAT IS WHEN I DISCOVERED THE RECALL. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED ORR NISSAN IN BOSSIER CITY 318-752-3000, SINCE THAT IS THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE PATHFINDER FROM. I SPOKE TO MIKE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 72,000 MILES AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $600 HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHIN THE MILEAGE SPECIFIED WHEN I CONTACTED THEM. I TOOK THE NEXT STEP AND CALLED NISSAN USA AT 1-800-647-7261 AND SPOKE TO [XXX] AT EXT#[XXX]. [XXX] TOLD ME THAT THE REASON I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED WAS DUE TO AN ERROR ON NISSAN'S PART, SINCE THEY NEVER ENTERED MY INFORMATION INTO THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM DESIGNATING ME AS THE NEW OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. SO, THE NOTICE WAS SENT OUT TO THE PRIOR OWNERS WHOM LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE. AT THAT POINT SHE OPENED A CASE FOR ME WITH THE CASE #[XXX]. I WAS CONTACTED BY [XXX] FROM 1-800-343-6913 EXT#[XXX], WHO TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO HONOR THE RECALL AND MAKE THE REPAIR, BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE MY PATHFINDER SERVICED AT NISSAN. HE THEN SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. WELL, I HAVE TAKEN IT IN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE, THEY DID NOT SPOT IT ON EITHER OCCASION. BUT, EVEN IF I HAD NEVER TAKEN IT TO THEM FOR MAINTENANCE, I SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED FOR SERVICING MY OWN VEHICLE.

ON TUESDAY FEB 14, 2012 I TOOK MY CAR IN CAUSE IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING GAS LEVEL. MY CAR WAS READING CHECK ENGINE SOON, CAR WAS WORKING PERFECT THEY PUT THE COMPUTER ON AND NOTHING CAME UP AS THE CAR HAVING ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. EVEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TURNED OFF. ON FRIDAY FEB 17, 2012 WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT START AT ALL I HAD SOMEONE HELP ME PUSH THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THEN I FINALLY GOT IT TO START AGAIN. CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN SEND A TOW TRUCK TO BRING IT INTO THE DEALER BUT IF HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORK THAT WAS DONE I HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOW. THE PERSON AT THE DEALER THAT I SPOKE TO SAID THAT ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I WAS GIVING HIM OF THE PROBLEM IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE WORK BUT HE COULDN'T BE SURE. ON SAT FEB 18, 2012 I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER, NOW THEY TELL ME THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CRACKER SYSTEM OF THE CAR WAS BAD BECAUSE WHEN THEY CHANGED THE FUEL GAUGE THERE'S MORE ELECTRICITY IS GOING IN AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM I HAD TO PAY 300.46 FOR SOMETHING THAT I WAS NOT TOLD COULD HAPPEN IF I FIXED SOMETHING THAT WASN'T GIVEN ME ANY REAL PROBLEMS BEFORE. NOW THE CAR IS SAYING CHECK ENGINE SOON AGAIN AND THE TRUTH IS I'M AFRAID TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. I'VE HAD THAT CAR FOR 6 YEARS NEVER, EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND NOW DIFFERENT THINGS ARE COMING UP. *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED. GAUGE WAS NOT READING FUEL LEVEL BEFORE REPLACEMENT. WORK HAS BEEN PERFORMED OUTSIDE OF DEALER. REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *TT

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO RECALL NOTICE CONCERNING FUEL SENDING UNIT *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED ON JANUARY 9, 2009, HE HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 425.95. IN JULY 2010, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN STATING A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED REGARDING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. ONLY JULY 15, 2010, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE UNIT NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. ON OCTOBER 28, 2010, THE CONSUMER TOOK HIS VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE UNIT WAS SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED. HOWEVER, HE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO THE DEALER, THEY INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONSUMER STATED HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A FUEL TANK AND FUEL SENDING UNIT SINCE BOTH WERE MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. THE CONSUMER STATED HE NEVER KNEW IF HE HAD GAS IN THE VEHICLE. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILLARY TANK) BUT THE CONTACT'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

WITHIN A YEAR OF HAVING THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED AS PART OF A RECALL, THE SAME SYMPTOM APPEARED AS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL AND AS WAS HAPPENING BEFORE THE INITIAL RECALL WORK WAS DONE. THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A DEFORMATION OF THE FUEL TANK THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SENDING UNIT TO "HANG UP". WHEN I RETURNED TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM AGAIN, THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A BULGING FUEL TANK AND WANTED TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THEY REVIEWED MY CLAIM AND DECIDED THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS. IN MY MIND THE ROOT CAUSE WAS NEVER TRULY ADDRESSED AND NOW I AM PAYING TO REPAIR WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INITIALLY REPAIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER READ 1/4 OF TANK OF GAS REMAINING AND SUDDENLY ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING AND I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER MY HUSBAND EXHAUSTED ALL EFFORTS TRYING TO DETECT THE PROBLEM, HE PUT GAS IN IT TO SEE IF THAT WAS IT (BECAUSE GAUGE WAS READING 1/4 OF TANK REMAINING.) AFTER PUTTING GAS IN, CAR STARTED AND WE DROVE IT HOME. WENT TO GAS STATION TO FILL UP WITH GAS AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND GAS GAUGE NO LONGER WORKS PROPERLY. I USUALLY GET 330 MILES TO TANK OF GAS AND NOW THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON AFTER GOING 200 MILES ON A TANK. NISSAN DEALERSHIP WANTS $500 TO REPAIR AND AS IT TURNS OUT, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND NOT KNOW IF YOUR VEHICLE IS GOING TO SHUT OFF BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE GAS IN IT (WHEN YOU DO HAVE GAS IN IT...JUST NOT ENOUGH FOR SOME SENSOR IN YOUR GAS TANK TO RECOGNIZE.) I HAVE HELD OFF ON PAYING FOR THIS REPAIR BECAUSE I WANT NISSAN TO RECALL THIS FUEL ISSUE AND REPAIR IT. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN CUSTOMER (2 MAXIMAS BEFORE THIS PATHFINDER) BUT THIS IS STARTING TO CHANGE MY MIND. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT OF MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FAILED AT APPROXIMATELY 45K MILES IN JULY 2010. THIS IS APPARENTLY A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR SOME NISSAN VEHICLES AS THE INTERNET HAS HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. IN ADDITION, NISSAN RELEASED BULLETIN NTB07-069A REGARDING FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSORS. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THEM RESOLVE THEIR FAULTY UNIT IN MY VEHICLE, HOWEVER INITIALLY THEY INDICATE THIS IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR DESPITE THE HUNDREDS OF ACTIVE COMPLAINTS I CAN FIND ALL OVER THE INTERNET. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE VEHICLE MAY RUN OUT OF FUEL WHILE ON THE ROAD, A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY. *TR

NISSAN 2006 PATHFINDER MODELS COME WITH DEFECTS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT ON THIS VEHICLES ARE DEFECTED AND CAN CAUSE PEOPLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND PUT THEMSELVES IN DANGER. ALSO THE RADIATOR CAN CAUSE A LEEK AND SEND FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION CAUSING POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. NISSAN REFUSES TO ADMIT THIS IS A RECALL PROBLEM. *TR

RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILIARY TANK). THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON. FUEL GAUGE IS NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY. FILLED TANK, GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER FULL TANK. WILL RUN OUT OF GAS IF GAUGE NOT REGISTERING PROPERLY. IT OCCURS EVERY TIME GAS IS PUT IN CAR SES LIGHT COMES ON AND GAUGE DOESN'T REGISTER FULL. DEALER WAS GOING TO REPLACE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT BUT WE ELECTED NOT TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF COST. CALLED NISSAN - OTHER 2006 PATHFINDERS QUALIFY FOR REPLACEMENT UNDER RECALL BUT THEY SAY MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER CURRENT RECALL. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATES DRAMATICALLY AND INTERMITTENTLY AFTER FILLING TANK UP WITH GAS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHEN FUEL GAUGE ACTS UP. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED WITH GAS. THE GAUGE WILL MOVE ANYWHERE BETWEEN EMPTY, WITH THE GAS LIGHT COMING ON, TO FULL. WIFE AND DAUGHTER THOUGHT THEY HAD A FUEL LEAK AND PULLED ONTO EMERGENCY SHOULDER ON BUSY INTERSTATE AT RUSH HOUR BECAUSE THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO 1/4 TANK WITHIN A FEW MILES OF FILLING UP. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS RECALLED FOR THIS REASON, BUT I WAS TOLD MY VIN DID NOT QUALIFY SO THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A NISSAN DEALER WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS TRIGGERED A RECALL FOR 2005 AND 2006 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF MY MANUFACTURER DATE YET HAS NOT BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. THIS IS AN EXISTING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES AS VEHICLES CAN UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE ON HIGHWAYS OR OTHER DANGEROUS SCENARIOS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND ASKED THEM TO REVIEW THIS ISSUE AND INCLUDE THE ENTIRE 2006 MODEL YEAR BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE AT THIS TIME. *TR

WHEN WE FILLED FUEL TANK ON OUR 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT REFLECT THE TANK BEING FULL BUT STAYED AT 1/8TH AND SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. FUEL GAUGE STILL DOES NOT REFLECT ACCURATE LEVEL IN TANK. *TR

MY WIFE [XXX] PURCHASED OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER 2006, HER FATHER [XXX] COSIGNED FOR HER. WE HAD A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE. AT 40K THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING IN LATE 2008, I TOOK IT BACK TO BENSON NISSAN IN EASLEY SC WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW, THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR INSIDE THE TANK AND WOULD COST US $700 TO FIX, AND WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF IT, AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT. I TALKED TO THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT AT NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I HEARD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, I QUICKLY CALLED THEM AGAIN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, AFTER GIVING MY VIN # TO THEM THEY GOT BACK WITH ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE!...I ARGUED TO NO AVAIL....I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I KEEP THE MILAGE WRITTEN DOWN OVER MY VISOR TO TRY AND KEEP UP WITH IT. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHOW I HAVE GAS WHEN I DON'T, AND IT HAS BECOME TO DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE IT SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME. IT IS A CONCERN AND AN INCONVIENIENCE. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET THAT I AM SHOCKED NISSAN IS NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES BACK TO 2005 AT LEAST.......THANKS FOR ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE.......

I PURCHASED A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN JULY 2006. IN AUGUST OF 2006, THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN 2007, THE FUEL LEVEL UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN 2009, THE FUEL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE BEGUN. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM PATHFINDER OWNERS. I AM OUT OF MONEY AND PATIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION, THE "ENGINE SERVICE SOON" AND NO FUEL WARNING LIGHT INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WAS DISPENSED INTO THE FUEL TANK PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATORS ILLUMINATE WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WOULD BE IN OPERATION.

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FUEL LEVEL SENSOR HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS HAVING FAILED. NISSAN HAS A RECALL ON SOME 2006 PATHFINDERS' FUEL LEVEL SENSOR, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE LIST. HAVING A VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT ONE COULD RUN OUT OF FUEL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE FUEL GAUGE IS READING THAT THERE IS FUEL IN THE TANK. EVERY NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BY NISSAN NO MATTER THE VIN. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PATHFINDER OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE ACCORDING TO EDMUND'S TOWN TALK AND AUTOFORUMS CLASSIFIEDS 1000. *TR

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER OR ERRATIC. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN. NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V-075 TO INCLUDE NISSAN/PATHFINDER/2006 FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM.

THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED MARCH 3, 2010 BY NISSAN FOR MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO GET MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR REPLACED AT THEIR WOODBURY NJ NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2010, BECAUSE OF A FAILURE OF THE SENSOR, I WAS ADVISED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I DESPERATELY NEEDED THE REPAIR BECAUSE I NO LONGER HAD ANY DASH SPEED OR FUEL LEVEL READOUT AND I COULD NOT FINANCIALLY AFFORD THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATED CHARGE FOR THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR REPLACEMENT. I WAS FORCED TO SEEK A LESS EXPENSIVE REPAIR SHOP TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR SO I COULD CONTINUE TO SAFELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE. THE SENSOR UNIT WAS REPLACED APRIL 30, 2010 BY A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AT A COST TO ME OF $291.00. UNFORTUNATELY, THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO DO THE FREE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT REPLACEMENT THAT I WAS ENTITLED TO UNDER THEIR MARCH, 2010 RECALL OF OVER 80,000 2006 PATHFINDER'S. THERE WAS NO LOGICAL EXPLANATION GIVEN BY THE WOODBURY DEALERSHIP FOR THE REFUSAL TO DO THE FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PART. I SENT AN APPEAL LETTER TO NISSAN CORPORATE MAY 2010 REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT AND THEY IGNORED THE RECALL ISSUE AND SENT ME A FORM LETTER SAYING MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND DECLINING MY REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE. UPDATED IVOQ 09/08/10*JB *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) I OWN A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE FUEL-SENDING UNIT WENT OUT IN OCTOBER OF 2009. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. IN MARCH OF 2010 MY WIFE HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL CAMPAIGN REGARDING FAULTY FUEL-SENDING UNITS IN 2006 PATHFINDERS. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AGAIN I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN OCTOBER AND AGAIN IN APRIL AND NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. I WAS TOLD HOWEVER THAT ANOTHER RECALL CAMPAIGN COULD TAKE PLACE, BUT AT THIS TIME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WOULD DO TO COVER THE REPAIR. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE UNIT ON MY VEHICLE WAS CAUSED BY THE SAME PROBLEM THE OTHER UNITS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL HAD SUFFERED FROM. I EXPLAINED THIS TO NISSAN BUT TO NO AVAIL. I AM WRITING THIS IN HOPES THAT THERE IS ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN OFFER ME TO ENCOURAGE NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY 06 NISSAN PATHFINDER IS FAILING. IT HAS BEEN DOING SO SINCE LAST NOVEMBER. SOMETIMES THE GAUGE DROPS TO "E" NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT AND SOMETIMES IT READS THERE IS MORE GAS THAN THERE ACTUALLY IS. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS LIT SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE. ACCORDING TO THE WEB, THE 06 PATHFINDERS BUILT FROM JAN THROUGH MARCH HAVE ALREADY BEEN RECALLED. MINE WAS BUILT IN MAY AND THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HARRISONBURG, VA NISSAN ADVISES I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. IT IS MORE THAN OBVIOUS TO ME THAT MY PATHFINDER, BUILT TWO MONTHS LATER THAN THE CURRENT RECALLED ONES, IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AND SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED. I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN AND AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ON THE HIGHWAY AND POSSIBLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I CARRY A FULL GAS CAN WITH ME, HOWEVER I DO NOT THINK THIS IS A SAFE PRACTICE. THIS IS THE SIXTH NISSAN I HAVE OWNED SINCE BECOMING A DRIVER. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MORE THAN SATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT. THIS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN QUITE A DISAPPOINTMENT. I AM RE-EVALUATING MY THOUGHTS ON NISSAN. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

NOT SURE IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THE VEHICLE WILL THINK IT'S OUT OF FUEL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. WHAT IF I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE THINKS THERE'S NO FUEL? NISSAN DEALER SAYS OH WELL. THEY WANT ANY WHERE FROM $500 TO A $1000 TO FIX, THEN THERE'S NOT GUARANTEE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM? THIS IS NOT RIGHT. *TR

STARTING IN JANUARY 2008, THE GAS GAUGE 0F MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WORKS ERRATICALLY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOON AFTER. WESTERNAUTO CHECKED THE FAILURE, AND FOUND FUEL SENSOR ERROR. THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON NISSAN PATHFINDER FORUM, ALL WITH SIMILAR/IDENTICAL PROBLEM. JUST ADDING MY NAME TO THE LIST REQUESTING NISSAN ADDRESS THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE RISK OF RUN OUT OF GAS.

STARTING IN DEC. 2009, GAS GAUGE ON 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY/ ERRATICALLY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOON AFTER. AUTOZONE CHECKED OBD II, AND FOUND FUEL SENSOR ERROR (P0463). THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON NISSAN PATHFINDER FORUM, ALL WITH SIMILAR/IDENTICAL PROBLEM. JUST ADDING MY NAME TO THE LIST REQUESTING NISSAN ADDRESS THIS POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM UNLESS YOU KEEP TRACK OF MILEAGE, AND KNOW MPG, YOU RUN RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. ALSO NOTED THAT ERROR CODE ON OBD II MAY CAUSE FAILURE OF EMISSIONS/SAFETY CHECK. CAN'T LICENSE CAR! *TR

FUEL SENDING SENSOR UNIT ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER IS SHOT. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL AS WELL AS OTHER NISSAN PRODUCTS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL NO QUESTIONS ASKED. *TR

FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 62,000 MILES SHOWS EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. DTE READS -----, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, READING POSTS IT SEEMS AS THOUGH MY FUEL SENSOR IS BAD IN MY VEHICLE. FILL TANK AND IT STILL REGISTERS A HALF A TANK, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSANS AND BELIEVE THEY HAVE INSTALLED A FAULTY PART THAT KEEPS ON FAILING IN ALL THE VEHICLES THEY ARE INSTALLED IN. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS DOES NOT EFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE NISSAN NEEDS TO PROVIDE A RECALL ON THESE NISSANS THAT THIS PART WAS INSTALLED AND FORGO ANY COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR

I OWN A 2006 PATHFINDER THAT I PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY ISSUE BEGAN WITH A FILL UP WHEN I HAD 1/3 OF A TANK OF GAS AND FOUND THAT THE NEEDLE DID NOT MOVE UNTIL THE FOLLOWING DAY. WHEN IT DID FINALLY REGISTER, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE FOLLOWING WEEK 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 NEEDLE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AND IT READ THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS AMAZED THERE IS NO ACTION FROM NISSAN CONSIDERING THE MULTITUDE OF ENTRIES I DISCOVERED ON THE INTERNET WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH MODELS RANGING FROM 2005-2007. THIS REPAIR IS ESTIMATED TO COST UPWARDS OF $700 FROM THE DEALER. THIS SAFETY ISSUE MAKES ME VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE ANY DISTANCE AND IS DUE TO A FAULTY PART THAT NISSAN SHOULD REMEDY AT NO COST TO THE VEHICLE OWNER. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT ALSO INFORMED ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL HAVE TO LET AN AUTHORIZED NISSAN CENTER DIAGNOSE AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND ONLY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER TO REFER TO IF I WAS NOT SATISFIED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT JUST OUT OF THE BLUE, THE SERVICE ENGINE JUST CAME ON. I HAVE READ IN THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GASOLINE, A VERY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE LIQUID, COMBINE THAT WITH A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL FUEL SENSOR AND WE ARE TALKING FIRE OR WORST. NISSAN IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS, EXCEPT TELLING PEOPLE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. MY NISSAN JUST WENT OVER 39, 000 MILES, HOW CONVENIENT, OUT OF WARRANTY. I JUST HOPE NOBODY IS WAITING FOR SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THANKS *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK ON MY CAR. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN MY CAR IS LOW ON FUEL OTHER THAN TO KEEP A RUNNING TAB ON HOW MANY MILES I HAVE DRIVEN SINCE THE LAST FILL UP OF FUEL. RECENTLY I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR TOTALLY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND COULD NOT PULL OVER. SEVERAL CARS ALMOST RAN DIRECTLY INTO MY REAR AS IT HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY. I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT THE REASON MY CAR STOPPED WAS THAT I WAS OUT OF GAS AND HAD NO IDEA THAT MY FUEL WAS LOW (DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR DOES NOT WORK). MY HUSBAND HAS THE EXACT SAME MODEL VEHICLE AS I DO AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM. HE HAD NO IDEA THAT HE WAS LOW ON FUEL AND HIS CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EXTREMELY BUSY MAJOR ATLANTA EXPRESSWAY. HE HAD TO MANUALLY STEER HIS VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROAD AND AVOID BEING SMASHED INTO BY OTHER VEHICLES TRAVELING AT WELL OVER 65 MPH. SINCE DISCOVERING THIS WE BOTH TRY TO KEEP TRACK OF HOW MANY MILES WE'VE DRIVEN SINCE FILLING UP BUT WE NEVER KNOW ACCURATELY HOW MANY MILES WE CAN GET PER FILL UP. I'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR NISSAN PATHFINDERS. EVEN THE REPAIR FACILITY WE TRIED TO TAKE IT TO WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ALMOST WEEKLY. I FEAR THAT I COULD GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I HAVE NO IDEA THAT I AM LOW ON FUEL. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT A MANUFACTURER RECALL IS IN ORDER AND THE NISSAN CORP IS PUTTING IT'S CONSUMERS IN HARMS WAY BY REFUSING TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INACCURATE. SHOWS EMPTY TANK EVEN AFTER I FILL UP. WORKS LATER THAT DAY UNTIL FUEL FALLS TO 1/2 FULL. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER LE GAS GAUGE READ 1/4 TANK ON MY WAY TO WORK WITH BABY IN CAR, RAN OUT OF GAS WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD 1/4 TANK. BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. AT A RED LIGHT LAST NIGHT WITH 1/2 TANK (ACCORDING TO GAUGE) ALL OF THE SUDDEN GAS LOW LEVEL LIGHT FLASHES AND DTE READS---- APPARENTLY DEALERSHIP DID NOT DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY DID OR PROBLEM LIES ELSEWHERE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED PLAIN AND SIMPLE! *TR

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. INCONSISTENT. FAULTY PART APPEARS OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING SAME PROBLEM SOMETIMES WORKS PROPERLY AND OTHER TIMES REPORTS EMPTY TANK ALTHOUGH GAS TANK FULL. *TR

MY 2006 PATHFINDER WITH 49K MILES, THE GAS GAUGE WENT TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE DTE READ ------ AFTER I FILLED THE GAS TANK COMPLETLY.THEN MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAS GAUGE AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES MOVED UP TO 1/2 TANK, BUT SERVICE LIGHT IS STILL ON. DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SERVICE BULLETIN NTB07-069A , WHICH SEEMS TO INDICATE THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH SEVERAL MODELS, INCLUDING XTERRA'S. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND PULLED THE CODE PO463 WHICH CONFIRMED THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS THE ISSUE. NOW TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY THEY APPARENTLY WON'T COVER IT. *TR

FUEL GAUGE MESSING UP...CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. HUGE READING LOW WHEN FULL. *TR

"I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER 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(I HAVE TO YOUNG KIDS). 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 YRS AND WITH AROUND 57K. 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. PAID $300 FOR THE REPAIRS." *TR

THE GAS GAUGE OF MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WILL NOT REGISTER A CORRECT AMOUNT AND THE SES LIGHT COMES ON AFTER I FILL THE TANK. THEN THE GAUGE DROPS TO 0 AND THE LIGHTS START TO FLASH THAT THERE IS NO GAS. AFTER AWHILE THE GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES, BUT IT WILL NOT RETURN TO FULL AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS THERE IS IN THE CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 51,000 MILES THAT HAS JUST ENCOUNTERED AN BAD FUEL SENDING UNIT. ERROR CODE P0463. SINCE IT HAS PASSED THE 3YR/36,000 MILE WARRANTY, I AM GOING TO BE PAYING ABOUT $500 TO GET IT FIXED. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY LATER NISSAN MODELS WITH THE SAME FUEL SENDING UNIT. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS STOPPED 3 TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, CAR WILL NOT RE-START, HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP ALL 3 TIMES. FUEL SENSOR REPLACED, IN THE SHOP NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THE THIRD TIME. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS PURCHASED NEW IN SEPT 2006. IN 2008 WITH APPROXIMATELY 53,000 MILES ON VEHICLE, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED WHICH RESULTED IN MY GAS GAUGE NOT READING AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMING ON. MASSACHUSETTS WILL NOT PASS FOR INSPECTION A VEHICLE WITH A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON. NISSAN STATED THAT WHILE THE FUEL PUMP IS PART OF THE POWER TRAIN, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THE FIX WAS TO BE OVER $400 TO THE NISSAN DEALER. AFTER WRITING TO MR GOSHEN, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA PRESIDENT, IT WAS EVENTUALLY COVERED. I HAVE KIDS AND WITH THE GAS GAUGE NOT READING, I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY, DESPITE MY BEST ATTEMPTS TO TRACK MILES DRIVEN AND RELATE IT TO THE GAS LEVEL. NISSAN HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN AND KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD FORCE A RECALL AS THOUSANDS HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH XTERRAS, PATHFINDERS AND FRONTIERS. SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR WORSE BY THEIR NEGLECT OF CONSUMERS.*TR

FUEL GAGE INDICATION WENT FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY INDICATION AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATION WENT ON. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE GAS GAUGE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY FOR OVER A YEAR. I'VE NOTICED MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I'VE READ THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENDING UNIT. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT JUST STARTED ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO. I HAVE A CONSTANT "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" ON AND IT WAS CHECKED OUT BY THE MECHANIC AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID IT IS A SENSOR PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET BECAUSE I FEEL THAT THIS IS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ABOUT 46,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A FREQUENT COMPLAINT ABOUT 2005/2006 NISSAN PATHFINDERS. THIS IS A SAFELY ISSUE BECAUSE IT MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETECT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK IT MANUALLY FOR THE TIME BEING. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION TO PUT GAS AND WHEN I STARTED THE ENGINE THE FUEL LEVEL WAS STILL READING EMPTY AND MY DTE WAS READING ----. THEN MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NOW THE ONLY WAY I CAN TELL IF I HAVE GAS OR NOT IS BY ESTIMATING THE MILEAGE I HAVE DRIVEN. MY PATHFINDER HAS ABOUT 60K MILES. I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I HAD 1/2 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. IT CONTINUED TO REGISTER AS EMPTY(------) AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS THE GAS DID REGISTER IN THE TANK. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND HAD COMPUTER TESTED I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR. I HAVE OVER 60,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR ANY PROBLEMS. 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 2 YRS 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

ERROR CODE PO463 HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED ON MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH 40600 MILES ON IT. THE FUEL PUMP/SENSOR UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I AM CURRENTLY GETTING PRICE QUOTES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING, I APPARENTLY RAN OUT OF GAS, EVEN THOUGH MY GAS GAUGE SHOWED I HAD OVER A 1/4 TANK, AND MY DTE SHOWED 61 MILES TO GO. SEVERAL TIMES, MY GAUGE WOULD BE DOWN TO A 1/4 TANK, AND SUDDENLY JUMP UP TO A 1/2, AND MY DTE WOULD INCREASE BY ABOUT 20-30 MILES. IT'S A GOOD THING I HAVE AAA. THEY BROUGHT ME SOME FUEL, AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP, AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A GAS STATION AND FILL UP. THIS IS EQUIPMENT FAILURE ON NISSAN'S PART, AND NEEDS TO BE A RECALL, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS OF BOTH PATHFINDERS, AND XTERRA'S. *TR

MY FUEL TANK WAS ABOUT 1/2 FULL AND NOTICED THAT MY DTE READ ---- FROM THAT POINT ON IT EITHER READS 0 OR ---. AT TIMES IT EVEN FLUCTUATES THE MILES LEFT ON THE DTE. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SES LIGHT CAME ON AND NOW REMAINS ON. UGH. MY CARE ONLY HAS 60K MILES ON IT. I OWN A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. *TR

THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK INTO I NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE AND THE DTE WERE READING IMPROPERLY. I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK FULL AND THE GAUGE WAS READING EMPTY AND THE DTE HAD ALL -------. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPON FURTHER SEARCHING HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS TO THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SENSOR GAUGE NOT WORKING, INCORRECT READINGS WILL SHOW EMPTY WHEN TANK IS FULL. 2006 PATHFINDER, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NISSAN HAS HAD FOR YEARS AND HAVE NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP, FUEL GAUGE READS 1/4 FULL AND DTE GIVES READING OF ----. HAPPENS EVERY TIME REFILL FOR THE LAST MONTH. VEHICLE HAS 46K MILES. FRIEND HAS A 2006 XTERRA THAT HAD SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WERE TOLD TO REPLACE SENDING UNIT MODULE. *TR

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER, MY DTE GAUGE READS ---- WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE GETS DOWN TO 1/4 OF A TANK AND MY GAS LIGHT IS ON EVEN WITH A FULL TANK. CODE REGISTERED ERROR CODE PO463 AND THAT I NEED A NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT. *TR
