About a month ago my wife went to fill up our 2006 pathfinder and when she finished the gas gauge showed only half fill. she went to another gas station tried to fill it up but it only took another dollar. the next day i called up nissan who said it was the sending unit in the gas tank and would be apx $600 to fix. i saw other logs of xterras having this problem and there was a recall. our car was just past the 3 year warranty. if this were the only problem with this car i'd pay to get it fixed. but i've had another but problems with this vehicle. i've gone through 3 sets of rotors and i'm on my 3rd set of tires. the drivers side door lock broke and to be brought in twice, and the bose system has a cd stuck which i can't get out. this happened only after we owned it a few months. *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
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
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

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
Fuel gauge messing up...causing check engine light to come on. huge reading low when full. *tr
2006 pathfinder fuel cell sensor stop working one month after purchase. vehicle warranty cover was 85 miles over vehicle warranty. manufacture dealer quoted me repair cost of $600.00 see on the web, other owner of 2006 nissan pathfinder have the same complaint. vehicle display empty gas tank when full. display half tank, 1/4, 3/4. driver never knows what amount of gas is in the gas tank. auto could run out of fuel in heavy traffic. *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

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

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. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

2006 nissan pathfinder. consumer requests that warranties be applicable to his vehicle *tgw the consumer stated the fuel sending unit was operating sporadically. the consumer was informed his vehicle was not included in the recall and the vehicle was over the warranty miles. the consumer received a warranty notification in the mail which stated his vehicle was included in 80,000 miles or less warranty. on march 24, 2008 the vehicle was taken to the dealer, because there was an odor of anti-freeze coming from the vehicle. they determined there was a leak in the radiator and it was fixed under warranty. in april 2008, the consumer took the vehicle to the dealer twice, because he continued to smell anti-freeze. they checked the vehicle both times, but did not find anything wrong with the radiator and could not find any leaks.
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
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
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.
