I purchased a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder off the showroom floor at my local Nissan dealership in July 2006. In August of 2006, the fuel pump assembly had to be replaced. In 2007, the fuel level unit had to be replaced. In 2009, the fuel module had to be replaced. Now, the transmission problems have begun. The dealer refuses to repair even though they are aware of numerous complaints from Pathfinder owners. I am out of money and patience with this vehicle. Nissan should issue a recall.

Error code po463 has been diagnosed on my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder with 40600 miles on it. The fuel pump/sensor unit needs to be replaced. I am told it is not under warranty. I am currently getting price quotes to have it repaired.
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.
