I was stranded in a parking lot because my car would not start. After having it towed to the dealership, I find out it is the "intermix" between the radiator and the transmission. I never received any information about this from Nissan, but now understand it was a known and frequent failure - by design. Essentially, after 90,000 mile, the car is worthless because of this issue. After paying $5,000 for the repair, I drove off the lot only to have my fuel pump fail. Literally, I drove off the lot and the engine began misfiring. Unbelievable.
I have a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder, as I was on the interstate, the car just died and the same almost happened to me! the fuel sensor went out so couldn't find out the fuel levels, then it stalled out as I was driving!! I had to replace the whole fuel pump, but I am lucky to be alive and want this to be a 2005 recall!.
2005 Nissan Pathfinder fuel indicator light sensor, after reading several identical complaints it seems to be a defect with the sensor. But in order to get a 80 pert fixed the dealers are charging $500-700 with labor and having customers replace the entire fuel pump while there at it. At 60,0000 miles the fuel gauge now reads empty and the check engine sensor remains on. If I don't pay to fix the sensor I will not know how much gas I have & several customers failed inspection.
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. Due to failures, the contact has only driven the vehicle three times since it was purchased on may 21, 2008. The engine light remains illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they would bypass the engine and shut off the light. On two occasions, the vehicle would not start because it was too hot. The vehicle was purchased with the original stereo system, but, when it stopped working, the dealer replaced it with a demo. The contact took the vehicle to a different mechanic and was informed that the fuel pump sensors were failing and a fuel pump was needed. The current mileage was 47,000 and failure mileage was 46,655. Updated 07/10/08. Upated 07/08/08.
