Fuel read empty at the gauge even if fuel tank is full. engine check light is also lit
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
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 nissan pathfinder. while driving approximately 55 mph, the contact noticed that the fuel gauge was not working. normally, the instrument panel would display how many miles remained until fuel was needed according to the fuel amount. ever since the failure began approximately three months ago, the contact was refueling the vehicle more often since the fuel to mileage system failed. the dealer (dartmouth nissan, 83 s state road, north dartmouth, massachusetts) was informed of the failure and stated that there would be a diagnostic fee. due to the fee, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 185,000.
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.
Radiator coolant leaked into the transmission $4000 car 10 years old however i had high mileage due to many road trips
Catalytic converters front and back have to be replaced
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.
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
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.

I have had the coolant problem fixed. then i have had to replace all the u-joints. i have had to buy new gas caps to get my check engine light to go off. now there is a terrible leak and a noise that is so bad. i took it into a local shop and it is the timing chain. this car has been nothing but problems and now it is so bad that i can't sell it because no one wants it and i am now so upside down in my loan because the value is going down so much that i can't trade it in.

I took my pathfinder in to the local nissan dealer for a check up--chugging at 35mph, check engine light sporadically goes on and off, gas gauge stopped functioning. nissan ran the diagnostics and told me the check engine light is because i need to pay $500.00 to replace the fuel sensor. i believe this is a part that was previously recalled. i don't know if nissan considers the fix once and done but vehicles driven in salt and sand winter conditions will need extra attention. the transmission trouble is something nissan knows about but refuses to recall. i was told i needed to replace the radiator and transmission--over $5000.00. if nissan knows about these problems, why must i, a now unhappy owner, pay for these repairs?
Fuel gauge stop half way and does not move and sometime does not work.

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.
Nissan stalled while at stop sign and again at gas station. left us stranded again. have had the ecm replaced three times, fuel pump three times, all to find this problem. nissan recalled ecm and that has been replaced three times once under recall. the recall does not solve the problem. *tr
Car shut down on dart train tracks, transmission failed to work, radiator had oil and leaked into transmission. *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
I was entering the highway and all of a sudden the car started shaking extremely and my service engine light started flashing, also the suspension shakes consistently causing me to swerve. i also have problems with the fuel gauge, not reading properly. *js
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

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.
