2007 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel System Other Problems

(2007 PATHFINDER) THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED AND THE FUEL GAUGE LED ME TO BELIEVE I HAD GAS WHEN IN FACT I WAS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF GAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A LARGE DUMP TRUCK. MY 5 YEAR OLD AND MY 4 MONTH OLD WERE IN THE 2007 PATHFINDER. WOULD IF THE DUMP TRUCK DRIVER WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION, ME AND MY CHILDREN WOULD DEFINITELY BE DEAD. *JS

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON AFTER REFUELING. *TR

FILLED UP THE GAS TANK, THEN IT STAYS ON EMPTY & SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AFTER A FEW CHOICE WORDS TO THE TRUCK, I NOW HAVE FIGURED OUT IT MUST BE A DEFECT IN MATERIALS & URGE YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. *TR

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. THERE IS A RECALL, BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED DUE TO THE LIMITED PRODUCTION RANGE OF THE RECALL. I FEEL NISSAN SHOULD HONOR THE RECALL ON ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM AS IT'S CLEAR THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL GAUGE. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO SPEND OVER $400 OUT OF POCKET AND MAYBE THEY WILL HAVE A SECONDARY RECALL THAT WILL REFUND MY MONEY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS RUNNING OUT OF GAS PUTS NOT ONLY THE PERSONS IN THE VEHICLE AT RISK BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL DEPENDING ON WHERE THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS. *TR

CODE 0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FOUND ON 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF NISSAN VEHICLE OWNERS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE FROM MILEAGE RANGES 40,000 - 70,000. WHEN YOU FILL UP THE FUEL TANK, THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY AND DOESN'T WORK, THUS IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF GAS AT ALL TIMES IN YOUR VEHICLE. *TR

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS A RECALL ON THEIR FUEL SENDING UNIT BUT ONLY ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. THEY TRULY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL SENDING UNIT WHY DON'T THEY COVER ALL BAD FUEL SENDING UNITS? THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NISSAN SHOULD TAKE CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! MY 2007 PATHFINDER HAS THIS PROBLEM BUT IS NOT COVERED BY THEIR RECALL - I BELIEVE NISSAN HAS A PROBLEM! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH THE FUEL SENSOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY; HOWEVER, THE FUEL TANK WAS NOT EMPTY. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH THE DEALER BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,300.

TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT OBSERVED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED A READING WHICH INDICATED FUEL WAS CONSUMED IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE STOPPED, DUE TO A LACK OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, THEY INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT APART OF A RECALL AND THE OWNER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AT ABOUT 50K MILES. WE DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. NISSAN INSISTED ON US PAYING FOR A DIAGNOSIS AT THEIR SERVICE CENTER WHEN WE ALREADY KNEW WHAT WAS WRONG, THEN THEY CHARGED ME TO HAVE IT INSTALLED. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY A RECALL ON 2007 PATHFINDERS BEING RECALLED FOR FUEL SENSOR BUT MINE IS EXCLUDED. *TR

I OWN A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE WITH 47000 MILES. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAILED AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAID $100.00 TO READ THE ENGINE CODE AND CONFIRM THE SENDING UNIT WAS AT FAULT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IT COST $400.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. IN THIS ECONOMY I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THIS SO I WILL HAVE TO POSTPONE THIS FIX. MY CONCERN IS THAT IF I OR A FAMILY MEMBER FORGETS TO CHECK THE MILEAGE SINCE THE LAST FILLUP, THIS VEHICLE CAN SHUT DOWN AT HI SPEED AND LOSE STEERING AND BRAKES. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BUT LIMITED IT TO A FEW VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DURING A FEW MONTHS FROM 2005-2007. MY VEHICLE MISSED THIS SMALL WINDOW BY 2 MONTHS. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT IS ONLY AT 33,700 MILES. ON 2/6 I HAVE MY CAR SERVICED. ON 2/19 MY CHECK ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING 2/20 AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR. THEY ALSO SAID IT WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY (NOT TRUE). AFTER GETTING A QUOTE OF $600, I DID RESEARCH AND UPON READING FORUMS HAVE COME TO THE REALIZATION NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL/FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THEIR VEHICLES. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS, WHETHER IT BE ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAS GAUGE WAS INCORRECT. WHEN SHE FILLED IT WITH GAS, IT WOULD DISPLAY THE TANK BEING EMPTY AND VICE VERSA. SHE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. AT TIMES, THE GAS GAUGE WOULD DISPLAY THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF GAS. THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED EVERY TIME SHE DROVE THE VEHICLE. SHE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER WHO TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY AND THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST HER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO-DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 55,000.

FUEL SENDING UNIT FOR A 2007 PATHFINDER HAS TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAS BEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM CODE P0463. THE COST RUN FROM 300-600 DOLLARS. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. CHECKED DIFFERENT PLACES AND A LOT OF PATHFINDERS OR NISSAN TRUCKS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT COVERED. NISSAN INC. HAS TO RECALL TO MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PATHFINDER WITH 39K MILES. I FILLED THE GAS TANK UP ON LAST NIGHT. WHEN I PULLED AWAY, THE GAUGE READ FULL. THE NEXT MORNING AS I WENT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE READ EMPTY AND THE SES LIGHT WAS ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO ADVISED ME THIS WAS COMMON IN THE PATHFINDER AND IT WOULD COST 400 DOLLARS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS THAT ADVISED ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AND DON'T KNOW THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE, I SEE THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS. WHY ARE CONSUMERS NOT AWARE BEFORE MAKING THEIR PURCHASE. *TR
