Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2005 Nissan Pathfinder

2005 Nissan Pathfinder: fuel gauge sensor problem. When I fill the tank the gas gauge drops below "e" and the fuel light comes on. The dte indicators flashes - - - - lines (indicating I am at 0 miles til empty), and the service engine light comes on. Once I use about 100 miles of the gas the gauges will all correct themselves. We have contacted Nissan and they will not cover this as it is not a recall. There are over a dozen articles on line where people have noted the same identical problem with the fuel gauges. Nissan will not cover the problem - it will cost approx $700 for us to fix. Please push Nissan along and have them recall the vehicles experiencing this problem.

2005 Pathfinder se- with 52k miles vehicle shut off while traveling at high speed (70mph) on freeway- all power controls failed problem was identified to be with a failure of the fuel level sensor- reports acquired indicate that this is a widespread problem with premature failure of this unit on 2005 and newer model year Pathfinders- fuel level indicator fails and gives inaccurate reading to driver - when tank is empty shows it to be 1/2 full. When driving at high speed loosing all engine power can be catastrophic dealer reports many similar problems but Nissan has not recalled for this widespread manufacturing/design problem reported also on line.

Fuel sender gauge on my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder is failing or has failed. Will consistently flash dashes or report "0" for the distance to empty indicator and the fuel gauge is now responding similarly. There has been no damage to property or injury as of yet, but I am appalled that Nissan has the 2005 armada (similar design) and the 2006 Pathfinder listed for the recall, but claims the Pathfinder is not covered by this, when a quick search of forums will offer up overwhelming evidence that this is a problem for numerous parts of the product line and could easily result in the car shutting down due to faulty information or running out of fuel due to inaccurate readings. To make matters worse for owners the repair for this runs upward of $600 for an admitted faulty part. Can the dot at least look into this and consider rectifying this situation? I am having a hard time believing that a company could just overlook this problem and simply get away with it. Please help us who are having a hard enough time making ends meet every month since this economic downturn began and are looking at unexpected vehicle failures that are blatantly a manufacturer's defect (even admitted to) but not covered by some weird economic choice. If I'd thought I'd be going through this, I would've bought both smaller and from another manufacturer. You can bet that currently I will not buy another Nissan again, regardless of how many americans they employ.
