FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MANY NISSAN VEHICLES HAVE FAILED FUEL SENSOR UNITS. NISSAN REFUSES TO REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE OR TO ISSUE A RECALL. IT IS IS SAFETY HAZARD NOT TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN YOUR VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY WHEN MORE THAN ONE DRIVER HAVE ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE. BY GOOGLING THE PROBLEM I FOUND OUT THAT MANY NISSAN OWNERS HAVE THIS FUEL SENSOR BUG. SEVERAL NISSAN MODELS ARE EFFECTED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE HAVE A SQUEAKING UNDERNEATH OUR VEHICLE AND IT SMELLS LIKE GAS. AFTER RESEARCHING IT ONLINE WE FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. WE ARE WORRIED THAT OUR VEHICLE COULD BE LEAKING GAS DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY FROM THE 2004 TO THE 2005 MODEL. OUR GAS GAUGE READS INCORRECTLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE COMES ON SO WE SUSPECT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE GASOLINE SMELL AND THE SQUEAKING. WE THINK THAT THERE MUST BE A HOLE SOMEWHERE THAT HAS OCCURRED FROM THE CONSTANT RUBBING OF THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND IT DIDN'T REGISTER A FEW DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY WARRANTY EXPIRED A MONTH AGO AND I WAS ALMOST 1,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY LIMITATION. SO BECAUSE OF THIS I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ANYWHERE FROM $400-$800, WHICH I DON'T HAVE WE'RE IN A RECESSION. ALSO WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO NURSING SCHOOL ONE MORNING THE 2005 PATHFINDER I WAS DRIVING JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDST OF MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE DEAD OF A COLD BLISTERING WINTER MORNING. LATER THAT DAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FIRESTONE WHO GAVE ME A PRINTOUT TO TAKE TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR THE FUEL SENSOR PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO BE APPARENT IN THIS MODEL AS WELL AS OTHERS. AGAIN NISSAN WASN'T WILLING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I PRAY THAT YOU GUYS CAN HELP US NISSAN OWNERS WHO HAVE INVESTED OUR HARD EARNED MONEY INTO A VEHICLE OF THIS TYPE WHICH BY THE WAY ISN'T A CHEAP VEHICLE, TO ALLEVIATE THIS PROBLEM BY ASKING NISSAN TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE FAULTY PRODUCTS THAT THEY'RE SELLING SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE AN ADDITIONAL OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSE BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM THAT IS TRULY NO FAULT OF OUR OWN. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND PROBLEM BECAUSE MY VEHICLE DIDN'T PASS INSPECTION. SO PLEASE HELP US MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS WHO ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM GET CORRECTED THROUGH NISSAN ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO SINCE THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN OTHER MODELS AND PREVIOUS MODELS THEY SHOULD MAKE A BETTER PRODUCT OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS THEY OCCUR. NISSAN IS A REPUTABLE COMPANY AND UNLIKE OTHER AUTOMOBILE DEALERSHIPS THEY'RE DOING QUITE WELL SO THEY CAN AFFORD TO KEEP US AS CUSTOMERS HAPPY BY CORRECTING THEIR FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEMS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
"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 30K MILES. 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. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE 2000-2004 XTERRA MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AFTER NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, POSING A GREAT DANGER. IT SEEMS THAT SOMETHING 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 AND WITH AROUND 39K-49K. 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." *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S GAS GAUGE DISPLAY SUDDENLY DROPPED TO SHOW 0 MILES ON DISTANCE TO EMPTY WHILE THE GAUGE SHOWED 1/4 OF A TANK. THE DISPLAY THEN WENT TO A FLAT LINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AT THE INTAKE THE DEALER SERVICE REP GAVE NO INDICATION THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SUCH BEFORE AND THE SECOND SERVICE REP SAID HE HAS SEEN IT ONCE OR TWICE. HE STATED THE REPAIR WOULD BE NEAR $500. AFTER I BALKED ABOUT SUCH HE "MADE SOME CALLS" AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT DOWN TO A LITTLE OVER $300. WHILE LOOKING ON LINE TODAY, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE OVER 36 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THIS REPORTING AGENCY THROUGHOUT ALL THE FUEL SYSTEM SUB CATEGORIES. THERE IS ALSO A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FROM NISSAN NTB07-069A THAT ADDRESSING SUCH IN PATHFINDERS, FRONTIERS, AND EXTERRA MODELS BUILT PRIOR TO SEPTEMBER 2007. DIAGNOSTIC CODES 0461,0462,0463. WITH THIS BEING THE 37TH COMPLAINT, SHOULD THIS NOT BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER? *TR

2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE - WITH APPROXIMATELY 45,500 MILES, SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED, DTE READING INDICATED -----, AND ANALOG GAS GAUGE READ NEARLY EMPTY. HAVING FILLED UP THAT MORNING, I KNEW I HAD A FULL TANK. LOCAL PARTS STORE READ THE TRUCKS COMPUTER INDICATING A FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT. AFTER INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN PATHFINDER AND OTHER NISSAN SUV'S. WOULD LIKE NISSAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECT AND MAKE REPAIRS AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. *TR
