2005 Nissan Pathfinder about 2, 5 years ago, my fuel gauge read 1/2 full or all empty and check engine light was on. Changing oil reset light initially, but it came back on. Short time later car failed safety inspection because of gauge and light. Car mechanic replaced sending unit, fuel pump and filter. Said pump needed to be replaced in order to replace sending unit. Dec/09 car failed to start. Gauge read 1/2 full. Mechanic said fuel filter failed, but pump had to be replaced since filter is inside pump. Jan30,2010. As I write this my tank reads half full and the car won't start. It is doing the same thing it did the last time. Being stranded because of a failed fuel pump/filter/ gauge/sending unit is dangerous. I can trust that a part (that is supposed to last the life of the vehicle) isn't going to fail me. I would add over the last several months, despite appropriate servicing and maintenance, (even replaced tires) my fuel consumption has become very poor. The issues are somehow connected. .

I have a 2005 Pathfinder that recently had the service light came on after filling up the gas tank, gauge stop working as well. I've replaced the gas cap with no success. I've research the problem and realized that this is a pretty common issue with this model. I have about 56,000 miles on this car.
