FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
APPROXIMATELY 2 MO AGO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITHIN THE FUEL SYSTEM. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WHICH WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $800 FOR THE PART AND LABOR. HE LOOKED FURTHER INTO THE ISSUE SINCE I TOLD HIM THAT I DON'T ACTUALLY NOTICE A PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL GAUGE. I ALSO DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN AND HAVE DISCOVERED, LIKE HIM, THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. SOME PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO HAVE ERRORS WITH THEIR FUEL GAUGE AND OTHER DON'T, HOWEVER THE RESULTING ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH A MALFUNCTION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM WHICH IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THERE IS A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2006 AND 2008 XTERRA AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES. WHEN I CONTACTED THE NISSAN #800, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR ANY RECALLS---IN SPITE OF THE COMPANY KNOWING ABOUT THE ISSUE, ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE ON THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE AND MY EXPERIENCING THAT EXACT ISSUE. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN HIT VERY HARD BY THIS ECONOMY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. I DO NOT HAVE $800 TO PAY TO HAVE AN ITEM FIXED THAT IS NOT MY FAULT OR NORMAL MAINTENANCE BUT THE FAULT OF THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY. I ALSO HAVE 4 CHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT USING THIS VEHICLE. I WORRY THAT THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE OR THERE WILL BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL GAUGE AND IN THAT SITUATION, MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OR STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE. IF THE COMPANY IS AWARE OF AN EXISTING MALFUNCTION IN THEIR VEHICLE AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT, THEY SHOULD COVER ALL NECESSARY COSTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PERIOD. I HOPE THAT THEY WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT WITH YOUR HELP. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT THE PATHFINDER BRAND NEW IN 2008. SHORTLY THERE AFTER, WHEN I INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, IT MAKES NO ATTEMPT OF TURNING ON. IT HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON 7 OCCASIONS THUS FAR. WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN AND TURN IT, IT DOES NOTHING. I BROUGHT IT IN LAST YEAR AND THEY NEVER FOUND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE WARRANTY EXPIRES IN TWO WEEKS AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE LEFT WITH A PROBLEM ONCE THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. LUCKILY IT HAS ONLY LEFT ME STRANDED WITHIN 30 MILES OF HOME, BUT I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING STRANDED FAR FROM HOME. AFTER A GOOD 30-90 MINUTES, THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY TURN ON. I HAVE HAD TO GET A RIDE FROM MY PARENTS FROM THE SUPERMARKET, HAD MY HUSBAND LEAVE WORK TO PICK ME UP FROM ANOTHER TOWN, WALKED TO MY PARENT'S HOUSE BECAUSE THE SUV WOULD NOT TURN ON. WHEN I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SERVICE PEOPLE WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IF THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY CANNOT FIX IT. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO INSERT KEY AND NOT HAVE CAR TURN ON. I AM BRINGING CAR ONCE AGAIN TO DEALER TO SEE IF PROBLEM CAN BE RESOLVED. I WANT THE PROBLEM RESOLVED PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY RUNNING OUT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PREVIOUS TO THIS, I HAD RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FOR A "RECALL" ON MY TRUCK WHICH WAS TAKEN TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO CORRECT. ON FEBRUARY 5TH 2011 I TOOK MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER FOR ENGINE LIGHT GOING ON. THEY TOLD ME MY TRUCK WAS UNDER WARRANTY. I AM UNDER THE ALLOWED MILEAGE AND MY TRUCK IS TO BE RETURNED ON JUNE 1ST 2011. I WAS CHARGED A WHOPPING $581.26 FOR A PIECE THAT ONLY COST $41.79. I HAD ALSO PUT DOWN ON THIS VEHICLE AT TIME OF LEASE $4,517.00. CONSIDERING THIS CAR HAD A RECALL, AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AFTER, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO HAD PAY THIS AMOUNT. I WILL NEVER LEASE FROM THEM AGAIN. I FEEL I WAS RIPPED OFF AND I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED MY $581.26. I KEPT COPIES OF ALL FOR LEGAL PURPOSES. PLEASE HELP RESOLVE THIS MATTER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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. I HAVE STALLED IN TRAFFIC THREE TIMES . THE VEHICLE LOSES ALL CONTROL OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND CEASES TO MOVE SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND OTHER MOTOR VEHICLES. I HAVE RESEARCHES THIS COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I CALLED NISSAN TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THEY STATED THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE NISSAN IS STALLING IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM AT A HUGE RISK TO ITS CONSUMER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILURE. INCIDENT OUTLINE: I WAS DRIVING ON THE 2 LANE PORTION OF THE TRANS-CANADA HIGHWAY #1 WEST OF CHILLIWACK AND HAD FUELED UP ABOUT TWO HOURS EARLIER. I WATCHED THE FUEL GAUGE, MPG AND DTE READINGS TO ROUGHLY ESTIMATE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING AND THE RANGE TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE REMAINING FUEL, WHEN THE GAUGES WERE ACTUALLY WORKING FOR A BRIEF TIME. THE FUEL GAUGE HAD SEEMINGLY PROPERLY SHOWN THE DTE AND FUEL LEVEL BUT AT +/- 5/8 OF A TANK IT DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE DTE READINGS WENT FLAT LINE. THIS HAS BECOME A USUAL SITUATION WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE AND MY ESTIMATES WERE THAT I HAD SUFFICIENT FUEL TO REACH THE NEXT GAS STATION PULLOUT FROM THE FREEWAY BUT I WAS TERRIBLY WRONG. I WAS PULLING A TRAILER AND HAD MY WIFE, SON AND HIS FRIEND WITH ME RETURNING FROM A WEEKEND AT OUR CABIN. WE WERE TRAVELING @ +/- 60 MPH IN THE FAST LANE AS THERE WAS SLOWER TRAFFIC IN THE CURB LANE WHEN THE TRUCK?S ENGINE STOPPED, I WAS OUT OF FUEL! I QUICKLY ASSESSED THE OPTIONS, PUT MY RIGHT HAND TURN SIGNAL ON AND STARTING EASING INTO THE CURB LANE DISPLACING THE VEHICLE BESIDE ME. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK INTO THE CURB LANE UNDER THE MOMENTUM IT HAD WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT NOT WITHOUT TREMENDOUS STRESS AND 2 NEAR MISSES WITH OTHER VEHICLES. EVENTUALLY I COASTED ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A STOP SAFELY WITHOUT POWER. IT WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE AND A SCENARIO I DO NOT WANT TO SEE PLAYED OUT AGAIN. NISSAN HAS DECLINED THIS REQUEST AND SHOWN MORAL CONTEMPT FOR A PROBLEM THAT I HAVE DEMONSTRATED THROUGH , TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS, IMAGES AND TEXT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN FOR MY 2008 PATHFINDER DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL GAUGE. ON SATURDAY 5/1/2010, I PRESENTED THE VEHICLE TO MAROONE NISSAN IN KENDALL FOR REPAIRS. AFTER 2 HOURS, THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME WITH A RECEIPT INDICATING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. THERE WAS A STRONG GAS ODOR WHEN I STARTED THE CAR. I ASSUMED THAT THIS WAS PROBABLY NATURAL SINCE THE REPAIRS WERE RELATED TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. HOWEVER, LATER THAT DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME THAT THIS LIGHT CAME ON SINCE I ACQUIRED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2008. I DECIDED THAT ON MONDAY MORNING I WILL RETURN THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN. HOWEVER, ON SUNDAY AROUND MIDDAY, MY SON TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE STATION TO PURCHASE GAS. THE NEXT EVENT THAT HAPPENED WAS ALARMING. ALL THE GAS THAT MY SON ADDED TO THE VEHICLE LEAKED OUT ON THE GROUND. APPARENTLY, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SOMEHOW MANAGED TO CREATE A HOLE SOMEWHERE IN THE FUEL SYSTEM/GAS TANK. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO NISSAN FOR REPAIRS AND THE REPAIRS ARE EXPECTED TO OCCUR ON MONDAY 5/3/2010. THIS SITUATION COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH TO MY SON. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THE INDIVIDUAL WHO PERFORMED THE REPAIRS WAS A NISSAN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN OR NOT. HOWEVER, IT IS WORTHY OF NOTE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFICIENCY IN EXISTENCE AT THE NISSAN LOCATION. IT IS MY HOPE AND EXPECTATION THAT AN INVESTIGATION BE MADE INTO THE TYPE AND QUALIFICATIONS OF THE SERVICE PERSONNEL AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES AT THIS LOCATION. I AM CONVINCED THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS WERE FULLY AWARE THAT THEY WERE RETURNING TO ME A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY DISSATISFIED WITH PREVIOUS SERVICE JOBS AT THIS LOCATION, AND HAVE ALWAYS ELECTED TO DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 30MILES TO THE PEMBROKE LOCATION ALTHOUGH THE KENDALL BRANCH IN ONLY ABOUT 6 MILES FROM HOME. *TR
