I had transmission problems, the transmission started vibrating and then would not move, I took to local transmission shop, they advised there was a problem in the radiator causing damage to transmission, I took to Nissan dealer they advised that Nissan had extended the warranty to 80,000 miles due to the radiator, however Nissan had not sent any information regarding a problem are extending the warranty. If I had known there was a problem with radiator, I would have had it checked prior to the 80,000 miles. Then Nissan sends letter that they are extending warranty to 100,000 miles with a 3,000 dollar deductible. If I had received a letter earlier from Nissan about the problem, I would have taken the Nissan to a dealer prior to the 80,000 miles. At times the transmission would stall out when making a turn, which could have caused a serious accident; fortunately there were no on coming traffic. The car also has a fuel gauge which gives a false reading at all times to the actual amount of fuel in the tank due to a faulty sending unit. So now I am stuck with a bill for 3,000 dollars. I feel Nissan was negligent in not advising their customers of the problem earlier. The dealer then called me and told me that the timing chain was worn and needed to be replaced at a cost of 2,000 dollars. My Nissan has less than 100,000 miles and the radiator, transmission and timing chain are faulty, and Nissan should cover these charges.
Transmission stutter during acceleration due to radiator fluid leaking into transmission. Fuel gauge gives false readings at all times to the actual amount of fuel in tank due to faulty sending unit.
I received a warranty notification for my '06 Nissan Pathfinder stating that model year 2005-2008 Pathfinder vehicles, an issue with the fuel sending unit may cause the fuel gauge to inaccurately display the amount of fuel in the fuel tank. I had been experiencing this problem for a while just hadn't had the funds to fix it. Nissan is extending your vehicle's new vehicle limited warranty as it applies to the fuel gauge sending unit from 36 months / 36,000 miles to 72 months 72,000 miles. After placing the call on Friday Dec. 3, 2010 to romeo #41550 informed me to go get a vehicle diagnostic performed on my car. Went to Nissan south paid $107. 48 they determined that it was indeed the fuel gauge sender unit tech found code p0463. The advisor muhammad stated that my reference number was forwarded to a regional specialist christy ferreda ext. 1658 for further review. I left several messages to find out the status and on 12/8/10 4:10 pm melissa ext. 1658 from Nissan called me back and stated that it was still being reviewed and she would get back in touch with me Friday or Monday and that she had other customer's and that's why she can't answer her phone. She also stated that it wasn't really a recall it was just an extension of the warranty. While I was having the car checked they also replaced a ecm relay on recall that I didn't even know about. Very unhappy with my Nissan Pathfinder and all of the many recalls and the servicethat I am receiving is terrible. As I stated to mellisa I am expecting for them to replace that part and reimburse me for the $107. 48 because they know about there defective part and it is the right thing to do .
Fuel gauge does not register correct amount of fuel. When I fill the tank it will show empty or some other incorrect amount. Also, the dte display is flashing solid lines and the check engine light is on. After driving the gauge sometimes starts to work properly but it always malfunctions at some point. Check engine light goes out sometimes, but comes back on when fuel level gets low.
The gas gauge of my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder will not register a correct amount and the ses light comes on after I fill the tank. Then the gauge drops to 0 and the lights start to flash that there is no gas. After awhile the gas gauge fluctuates, but it will not return to full and it is impossible to tell how much gas there is in the car.
2006 Pathfinder fuel cell sensor stop working one month after purchase. Vehicle warranty cover was 85 miles over vehicle warranty. Manufacture dealer quoted me repair cost of $600. 00 see on the web, other owner of 2006 Nissan Pathfinder have the same complaint. Vehicle display empty gas tank when full. Display half tank, 1/4, 3/4. Driver never knows what amount of gas is in the gas tank. Auto could run out of fuel in heavy traffic.
