I bought the Nissan Pathfinder brand new off the lot in late 2007. It only has 45 thousand miles on it. I've never had any problems with this vehicle until now. About 2 weeks ago I thought someone was stealing gas out of my vehicle, but thought it was nearly impossible because it's kept behind a locked fence . Saturday July 13th I had to fill up because of a storm. When I gas finished fueling it showed that I had an empty tank. I knew that was wrong so I decided to give Nissan a call at 1-800-647-7261. I spoke to an agent and told him my problem, he gave me a case number and told me to call the nearest Nissan dealership closest to me . I called the Nissan dealership's service department and they told me that I would have to pay for any services I had done to my vehicle. . I don't agree . There are multiple people with the same vehicle as myself and I believe there should be a recall on this problem . If anyone can help me , please feel free to help. I'm on a fixed income and this was not any negligence on my part. I have a case number already on file with Nissan, but the dealership doesn't want to honor it. Lesliemarin93@gmail. Com. Hel me wit the next step to get my vehicle fixed. Thank you.

Our Nissan Pathfinder is giving us inaccurate fuel gauge reading when the fuel in the tank is at 1/4 or below. It can show us that we have 120 miles to empty tank and 5 minutes later that we have 20 miles to empty, then it could stay at 20 miles for more than 50-60 miles driven. This causes road hazard since we can't tell exactly how much fuel we have in the tank and we always have to keep it above 1/2 of the tank to avoid issues.

While driving Thursday, February 14th, 2019, my check engine light came on. I pulled over in a nearby parking lot as soon as I could. At this point, I noticed that my fuel gauge had dropped from 1/4 tank down to empty. I used an odb2 scanner to check my error codes, and found an error code p0463 (fuel tank level sensor - voltage high). I immediately proceeded to a gas station, refueled, and cleared the engine code to see if it would reappear. It has not since reappeared. After some research, I found that this is a known issue for 2008 Nissan Pathfinders, and that there is a recall associated with the issue. The NHTSA campaign id is 10v075000. I called Nissan's public number and a local dealership owned service center. Neither found any active recalls regarding my vehicle, and neither knew what a NHTSA campaign id number was. I asked to speak to the manager of the service center. I left a voice mail for them Thursday afternoon, but have not heard back. Based on the symptoms my vehicle is experiencing, I believe my vehicle is likely suffering from the same issue as described in the aforementioned NHTSA campaign, and that my vehicle, and likely others, were missed in the recall.

Fuel gauge does not work properly -- this has been an issue for 2 years now. When I fill it up, it shows as full, but will never go lower than just over 1/2 tank of gas. I have to reset and watch my mileage every time I fill up the tank, and make sure I refill it every 225 miles, to ensure I don't run out of fuel. My mechanic has done everything he can think of to fix the problem, but so far nothing has worked. I noticed I am not the only one to file a complaint about this issue.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. While the fuel tank was full or after fuel was added to the fuel tank, the contact noticed that the fuel gauge reading was inaccurate. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank sending unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.

Fuel gauge indicated fuel tank was at least half full. Vehicle did not start because it was out of fuel. Mechanic replaced many things until it was discovered car was out of fuel. Cost me close to $1,000. Car could have run out of fuel on a highway while in the fast lane. Many owners have reported this problem on the internet. This is a safety issue. I am 74 years old and never had failed fuel gauge. I am told the whole instrument cluster needs to be replaced. No warning was ever provided by Nissan that this could happen. How many of their vehicles have this problem.

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. While operating the vehicle, the fuel gauge displayed incorrect fuel level readings. The contact indicated that with a quarter tank of fuel in the tank, the gauge displayed that the tank was empty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel leveler sending unit inside the fuel tank was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 109,000.

Engine stopped running while driving. Turned the tank was out of gas with fuel gauge showing right at quarter mark full. The gauge seem to show full when filled up but for the last three times it shows a quarter tank left while I am able to pump in over 18 gallons of fuel.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the fuel gauge displayed that the vehicle had approximately one quarter of fuel in the tank; however, the fuel tank was empty. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel level sender needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline). The failure mileage was 150,000.

I have noticed a very strom gas smell in and outside of my wehicle lately. I took it to the garage and it needs a new gas tank as the original has rusted and leaking. I see where this model has a recall in the states with high road salt useage - this unit came from ontario with high road salt useage.

The vehicle fuel sensor shows that it's empty as soon as the vehicle has a quarter tank of gas left. Mileage does not show even though the vehicle has gas. This happens when they vehicle is turned on and in motion. I do see that Nissan has a recall for this specific problem (NHTSA campaign number: 10v075000) but there are no recalls associated with my vehicle VIN #.

In 2010, Nissan recalled many 2006 and 2008 Nissan Pathfinders (10v-075) for a fuel gauge inaccuracy issue, where the gauge would "show that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is actually empty. " oddly, Nissan then sent out an ntb (ntb07-069d) later in 2010 to remedy the same issue on many more Nissan models, including 2005-2008 Pathfinders. Why this defect initially deserved a recall and then only a less noticeable ntb is unclear. Our own 2007 Pathfinder was apparently was not included in the recall, but it has developed exactly the same fuel sensor problem. This suggests that Nissan failed to fully recall all models affected by the fuel sensor defect, and the subsequent ntb (the warranty for which has already passed) provided no protection for the problem when it developed. I do not understand why Nissan would recall only a few models affected by this defect and ignore the fact that the defect was present in many more models. I also don't understand why NHTSA would allow such a partial recall. Why would a recall only apply to some of the affected vehicles?.

Fuel system, gauge not functioning. The fuel gauge randomly shows empty when not empty or even full, then shows random readings that do not accurately show fuel level. Just 2 days ago I showed 3/8 tank. Went to store then showed 5/8 after starting vehicle. Trying to manually track milage so I do not run out of gas since gauge is not working. Nissan contacted twice about recall/campaign# 10v075000. Was told my VIN is not included. I have researched the complaints on this website and out of 184, 43 are confirmed this issue not included in recall, additional 11 same complaint but unable to tell if included in recall. If accurate fuel reading was concern enough for recall 10v075000, how do an additional 43-54 complaints not cause additional vehicles to be included. This is 25% of all safety complaints on this vehicle on this web page. Please force Nissan to address this obvious vehicle flaw and safety issue. I do have pictures, did not attach but will provide if requested. I have both email responses from nissian, will provide if requested.

Digital gas milage and gas gauge needle not reading how much gas is actually in the tank. Needle goes below e and gas light comes on even when I have a full tank. Digital gas milage goes to 0 or gives all dashes no matter how much gas I have. Or when I am low on gas the needle will read I have more than I do. This happens randomly while stationary, while driving on city street and highway. Fluctuates in the middle of a trip, etc.

Car gas gage is stuck on empty, even though there is a full tank of gas. Check engine light is on. Nissan says I need a new fuel level sending unit.

The fuel level sensor is failing, causing erratic or inaccurate fuel gauge readings. The check engine light also illuminates. Nissan has recalled 2006 - 2008 vehicles for this fuel gauge issue. Recall announced: March 03 2010 NHTSA reference: #10v075000 number affected: 80,689 summary: Nissan is recalling certain model year 2006 and model year 2008 frontier, xterra and Pathfinder vehicles. The molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. Consequence: this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. This is a known defect to both Nissan and the NHTSA. . . And it should be repaired before there is a fatality in my family.

Everytime I fill my gas tank, the gas filler neck leaks, from what I can tell it is caused by corrosion. I;ve contacted mfctr. Nissan/manufacturer do not have any open recall campaign for the year of my vehicle, they do have an existing recall same issue/gas filler neck leaking on model and year of 1997 thru 2001.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked overnight with a quarter of tank of fuel. The contact noticed the fuel tank gauge read empty.

The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000. Bd.

While driving on the highway in the fast lane at 85 mph the car lost power completely. Luckily there were no other cars in my vicinity. Coasted over 2 lanes to breakdown lane just barely over the line. Gas gage read 1/4 tank so figured I still had gas. Tried to restart several times but car acted like it was out of gas. Called aaa for a tow truck and asked to bring gas just in case. Car started right up after mechanic put gas in tank. Although this issue is a recall1 Nissan will not repair for free. Say my VIN is not included in the recall and it will cost me $450. Recall summary:Nissan is recalling certain model year 2006 and model year 2008 frontier, xterra and Pathfinder vehicles. The molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. Hazard:this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.

Trouble code p0463, ses light came on. Its the same trouble code that certain Nissan models fuel gages read 1/4 of a tank when empty. I was told that there is no problem with mine or recalls it is a 08 le v8 Pathfinder.

While researching a transmission issue on my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder, my husband came across recall #10v075000 for the fuel level sensor for 2006 Pathfinders. After all the transmission/radiator repairs were completed (another issue that Nissan was well aware of but has not remedied) my check engine light came on and I took it to an auto parts store to have the code read. They put it on a code reader and told me it was the fuel level sensor. I contacted my local Nissan dealership to bring my car in to have the repair done. I was told that the recall was not associated with my VIN and that the repair would have to be paid for out of my pocket. I then contacted Nissan north America where I was told to take my car into a Nissan dealership: 1) ask for a diagnostic code on the part 2) get the name of the service advisor and dealership 3) get an estimated cost of repair/replacement and I was given a case number. I made an appointment and had all of those things accomplished. I then called back and gave Nissan all the required information and was told they would call me back with a decision. 2 days later someone from consumer affairs called me back and told me that Nissan would not pay for the repair since my VIN is not associated with the recall. I asked to speak with that person’s supervisor and was told that “supervisors did not have customer contact”…. . So much for customer service!! I tried to explain that my car is showing all of the signs and symptoms that go along with this problem including; my check engine light coming on, the computer showing the code for the issue, my digital gas gauge not reading correctly, my regular gas gauge not going below ¼ tank, and almost running out of gas with my children in the car with me. . I have been forced to rely on my odometer to indicate when I should refill my gas tank.

The fuel gauge read I had a quarter tank of gas, but I ran out. Upon searching the internet for issues such as this there are too many to list here. Google search for "2004 Pathfinder fuel level problem" there have been multiple issues with the design of the sensor and this is known by Nissan. Being disabled and running out of gas is not safe and should be addressed by Nissan to resolve this issue.
