Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging Problems of Nissan Pathfinder

My vehicle received a check engine light. I took my vehicle into a dealership and they informed me that there was an issue with the fuel system. Nissan apparently knows about this issue and have no idea on how to fix it. They recommended that I keep the car filled to half a tank or more so I do t get the check engine light. The issue I have is in the occasion I let the car get below half a tank and the check engine light comes on how can I tell if it's the fuel system or something else. It takes approximately a week or more for the light to go off after refilling the car. My vehicle has been like this for just over a year. I've asked repeated times for an update with no answer.

Fuel filler neck corrosion results in leak in fuel, evaporative, and emissions systems. Fuel will leak after filling gas tank, creating serious fire hazard while driving. Recall was issued for 1997-2001 Pathfinders, but should likely be expanded to include Pathfinders through 2004, which use same design.

Strong smell of gasoline after filling tank. A leak from fuel filler neck was the issue. Repair was made, but it was over $400. Saw 2 other complains on NHTSA #s 10781139 and 10703027. There was a recall for this issue on Pathfinders through 2001. Perhaps it is time this be investigated on 2003s as well.

The dashboard fuel guage does not reliably report the level of fuel. This issue led to a recall for 2008 Pathfinders in the past, but apparently not for my VIN. The issue occurs at various times, including when stationary or moving. Sometimes refilling the tank will give a full tank reading, some times it will not. It will also allow the tank to run down to empty without reflecting that on the guage. Often, but not always, the yellow service engine light will illuminate as a result.

In 3/2017 I received NHTSA safety recall no. 10v-075 from Nissan north America. I took the vehicle in on 3/31/2017 for this work to be performed knowing this was a very important safety recall involving the gas tank float. After the work was performed the fuel gauge gives false readings: when the gauge reaches about 1/2 full it drops to empty and the "distance to empty" computer says 12 miles left until running out of gas. When filling up with with the gauge reading empty and 12 dte the tank will only accept 12 gallons and it's a 21. 1 gallon capacity tank. I took the vehicle in to scott clark Nissan in charlotte, nc 4/12/2017 and 6/28/2017. I've also filed a formal case/complaint with Nissan north America: 27312766. Nissan is refusing to fix the issue even though the malfunction was a result of the safety recall work. This poses a very serious safety issue as we do not know if/when the vehicle will run out of fuel. Again, I've tried to work with scott clark Nissan in charlotte, nc and Nissan north american in good faith to get this issue resolved. They are refusing to take responsibility for their safety recall making the vehicle less safe after the work was performed. Attached please find a letter to the chairman of Nissan north american, jose munoz and the ups delivery confirmation.

The contact owns a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder. While driving 65 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. Also, within twenty minutes of filling the fuel tank, the fuel gauge failed to display an accurate reading. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank sending unit failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v075000 (fuel system gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,000.

After filling up the tank and getting back on the highway, I noticed my gas gauge was reading I had 1/4 tank and my tachometer was flashing dashes all the way across. I pulled off the highway and checked to see if my gas cap was on and it was. The vehicle was running fine so I continued on my way. Eventually, the gas gauge moved to the full position and my tachometer began to keep the miles to empty, but not accurately. Once I got home, I researched online and found a recall for my vehicle. Campaign id 10v075000. I've contacted Nissan 4 different times and no one is willing to help me with this matter. My vehicle's gas gauge will not go below 1/4 tank. I've already run out of gas twice because I forgot to keep track. Running out of gas on us hwy 275 south in rush hour traffic is not fun. I was lucky that I didn't cause an accident. What do I need to do to have my vehicle fixed?.

The fuel sending unit on my Nissan is faulty. There is a part campaign issued for some vehicles but Nissan is not covering mine. The concern is that the fuel sensor either registers empty and I can run out of gasoline. Or as I am filling my vehicle, it may not sense the level of gasoline in the tank and cause an overfill situation. As I live in a near non attainment area, this situation could be impact fuel of the environment.

I had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. After filling up my gas tank, I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. I went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered. After returning home and doing research, I went online to x. Nissanhelp. Com after performing a search, I came across many others who have experienced the same problem. Apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. It seems that somthing in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. There is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 2 yrs. If this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and Pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. Cost of repair ranges from $300-600. ".

After filling my vehicle up with fuel, the gauge still read one quarter tank, and it took most of the day before the gauge slowly moved up to read full. After that, when the tank would reach 1/2 full, the gauge would start acting crazy. One minute it would read 1/2 full, the next second it would read empty and my gas light would come on. Also, at half full down to one quarter full, the service engine soon light would come on. When I discovered that there was a recall on my year and model vehicle, I called Nissan to inquire, but was told that due to my VIN # my vehicle was not covered. The problem I was having with my fuel gauge is exactly the same problem that the recall covered, and the parts that I had to have replaced are the same parts that the recall covered. I had to pay $300 to have my vehicle repaired, when obviously the part covered in the recall was also defective in my vehicle. (campaign id #/NHTSA #: pc042/10v-075; applied vehicles 2006 & 2008 Pathfinder, 2006 & 2008 frontier, 2006 & 2008 xterra).

Our Nissan Pathfinder 2006, fuel level indication fluctuates so that we don't know the true fuel remaining. By filling the gas tank and recording the mileage, we can monitor distance traveled to estimate when the tank will be empty. We also have a service light indication, which I had read by my local mechanic, code # p0463, which says its a "fuel level sensor a circuit high input. " he says I need to have my fuel tank removed to replace the sending unit located on top of the fuel tank. The dealer wants to charge me $90 for diagnostics, and then it will cost $150 for parts and $500 in labor, total bill $740. I plan to do it myself, parts on line for $98. 95, to save $650. I just hope I don't blow-up myself and our house while trying to repair this issue. Also, car will not pass inspection until service light is extinguished (due by end of November). VIN # [xxx] it has 57,000 miles. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

About one year ago my fuel gauge bottomed out after filling the tank. Since then it has been erratic with the fuel reading. We continued to deal with it until recently. My wife was traveling on the highway and the vehicle just died. She managed to pull off the road and the car restarted. This continued several more times until she returned home. Now the car won't start at all. The code pulled from it is p0463. I understand this is a known issue with Nissan.

Fuel gauge reading empty after filling up the tank. Check engine light on.

My wife and I were out shopping in our 2005 Nissan Pathfinder se. On the way home the SUV just stopped running on a busy intersection. The fuel gauge read at half. After trying to turn over the engine it still wouldnt start. A fellow citizen helped push it to the side of the road. I went home to get the one gallon fuel tank and pured it in the SUV. I hopped in and tried to start it. The SUV started but the engine light came on. The fuel gauge was reading half still. After unloading the truck. I went to the gas station to fill up. I noticed after filling up, the gauge read empty. The engine light and the gauge light was still on.

[fuel level sensor] service engine light went on August 10, 2008, two codes p0463(fuel level sensor) and p0420(catalytic efficiency low). Shortly after this; when filling-up the fuel gauge would read "e" after some time it would read correctly. This problem is intermittent. The service engine light has been on since then and I've had other issues with the vehicle. This Jan. 27,2009 I went to the dealer to fix the cat. , and cancel the service engine light, but the dealer had a hard time link-up with the computer because of some short in the system caused by the rear view mirror(compass). They said the code for the bad cat. Was complete and not the problem, they said the computer came up with a p0507(idle speed control motor). The code p0463 did not come up. As soon as I left the dealer I filled the fuel tank. And now the gauge went to "e" and fuel light is on the dte reads ----, and the service engine light is on (I called the dealer right away and told of the problem). It's been like this for 3-days in a row. I have to bring it back to the dealer.
