Wheel hubs etc. Ive replaced several times and still having issues with those. My sway bar and tire rods my front suspension sounds like and feels like its falling apart.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving at various speeds, the fuel gauge would not go any lower than a quarter tank and the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. After refueling the vehicle, the fuel gauge took an abnormally long time to show the amount of fuel in the tank. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
I, a female, purchased a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder from integrity Chevrolet in chattanooga, TN. A day later the Pathfinder is skipping, vibrating and rattling, rear end clunking at 40 mph. Shifts hard at 4 and 5. Got 4 mechanics and the Nissan dealership to check all this out and they all concluded the coolant overflow tank was filthy, stinks- not the sweet smell- smelled burnt and rusty. The valves were bloated and radiator cap seal was loose. Low on coolant, high in water. Transmission and radiator needs to be flushed and checked for 'sludge'! the dealership's associate, jamie ryan, assured me the 2008 Pathfinder had been serviced and all fluids checked and filled. The Nissan dealership and the 4 mechanics all stated that 'no service or fluids were checked!' if it had been, the dealership would have known of this transmission issue! the coolant from the radiator is mixing with the transmission fluid in the transmission, causing a milky- sludge. No one can convince me that this dealership, integrity Chevrolet, in chatt, TN, did not know of this issue- it is a very common issue with the Nissan Pathfinders, xterras and frontiers years 2006-2010. Any good associate would have known this issue- in order to sell this automobile honestly! jamie ryan, to whom I have known for over 20 years, screwed me over and saw an unknowing, innocent woman coming his way! I had to be a good joke that day. This dealership knew they had to get rid of this Pathfinder quickly b/c it is a 'lemon'!.
I have been noticing the fuel gauge does not read correctly. It gets down close to 1/4 tank and then will stay there. The read out on the information screen will report "0 miles to empty". This leaves me not knowing the amount of fuel left in my tank, and fearful of running out of gas and/ or causing an accident. I have a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder se v-8 model. It started in the fall 2013 when gas gauge started reading sporadic fule levels.
