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.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder 103k miles. We noticed vehicle would shudder upon acceleration at approximately 40 mph and again at 50 mph. Also at times the engine would rev up like it couldn't shift to the next gear. If we slowed down to 50 and re-accelerated to 55 mph, the shuddering became a severe vibration. We took it to an independent mechanic since we had recently a bad experience with our local Nissan dealer in fixing another problem (timing chain). The mechanic dropped the transmission pan and found the radiator was leaking coolant into the transmission fluid. Mechanic stated we were very lucky to have caught this right away as it could have caused a lot of other problems too lengthy to mention here. Mechanic replaced radiator and did a tranny flush but I'm not sure our problems are over. Now the fuel gauge registers empty after I have just filled up with fuel, the service engine light came on, and now I am totally stressed out driving anywhere, and especially in traffic.

My 2006 Nissan Pathfinder had been having fuel gauge problems for several weeks. Finally after the annoyance became too much, we took it to the Nissan dealer. We were told that there was a known problem with the fuel gauge assembly that involved a recall. Unfortunately for us, we missed the recall by less than four months. My complaint is that Nissan knew there was a problem, then arbitrarily chose a date when the recall would end that would satisfy the NHTSA, but not fully cover the period when this problem could arise. Limiting this recall by date can prove to be extremely prejudicial to the customer that purchases the vehicle later in the year; for example, purchasing the car in November 2006 versus January 2006 would place the consumer at an eleven month disadvantage.

Known issue with fuel system (NHTSA id # 10v075000) Nissan acknowledges problems but put mileage limit on dealer paid repair. (approximately 1300 miles over) apparently defective manufacture issues have time limits regardless of safety issue associated with this. Intermittent problems caused delays in identifying this issue. This is a major safety issue that should not have been timetabled,inaccurate and then failure of the fuel gauge. This is a failure of both Nissan and the NHTSA to allow mileage to be the determining factor in limiting our safety.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder - fuel gauge all of sudden goes to empty even when take is full and then stays there. There is a recall out there for this issue but VIN number not part of current recall.

Want to know why this is not extended beyond current VIN numbers as this is a huge safety issue as almost ran out of gas on the interstate.

2006 Nissan Pathfinder after filling up with gas--engine service soon light illuminated and fuel gauge does not read accurate level of fuel and has not worked since the initial incident 3 days ago.

We have a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder with a fuel gauge that does not work. The vehicle only has about 50k miles on it and should not be having this problem. We took our vehicle to fill it up with gas and when we turned it on it read "empty". After a few miles the service light came on and stayed that way. I called the dealership and explained the problem and they informed me that it is a common problem with this vehicle and that I would have to pay around $525. 00 dollars to replace the part. They told me that as long as I could figure out that the vehicle had gas I would be fine as long as it didn't run out. This is a tremendous hazard for the public because if I were to be on the freeway at the time the vehicle did run out of gas and didn't indicate it. Well, you can be sure that the vehicle would come to a complete halt and so would the pile up behind me. Not good! I went online to see if this was a common problem and apparently it is too common and deserves a recall. Everyone is paying the dealership to fix this and they are making an enormous profit after knowing that they made these vehicles with faulty products and obviously while the money is pouring in they don't care. Someone up the hill has to do something about this! recall needed please!.
