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

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
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
Corrosion in radiator parts allowed coolant to contaminate transmission fluid resulting in failure of transmission. *tr

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 ...
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 ...
Transmission failed with no notice only 110000 miles upset and not safe! now i have no car and nissan wants to charge me 8,500 to fix seems so unjust i'm a widow with children and struggled to pay for my car and this shouldn't happen at just over 100 thousand miles! *tr
Check engine light went on and fuel registered empty on the dash. since that time fuel gauge has not registered correctly going from full to empty at sporadic time but will never register less than 1/2 a tank causing issues as you never now how much fuel you have until you run out which is a safety hazard. took to nissan they said it was a fuel gauge issue and it would be over 500 to fix as they had to drop the tank to get at the fuel sensor. 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 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
