2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER Fuel/propulsion System Problems

I've ran out of gas twice my indicator the gas tank gauge does not show that the vehicle is empty it shows it's full and then I run out of gas on the side of the road almost get hit by cars trying to get to gas station to get more gas in the middle of traffic very dangerous have my daughter with me trying to push my vehicle out of the way so I don't get hit apparently it's a recall that says mine was done but it's not done because it's still having problems I am the third owner of mine so I think it was mislabeled as completed if that's the case then how do I know any of these recalls have been done properly

Car shuts off In the middle of driving & also when simply parked. It starts jerking like it’s trying to catch up then it kills. It’s happened in front of traffic and busy roadways/intersections. It has happened more than once.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK

WHILE DRIVING CAR WOULD ACT AS IF IT WERE GOING TO SHUT OFF..WE WERE NEVER INFORMED OF RECALLS AND WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND WAS INFORMED RADIATOR WAS LEAKING ON TRANSMISSION AND WE WOULD REQUIRE UP TO $3,500 FOR REPAIRS WHICH INCLUDED A USED TRANSMISSION

Mileage: 100,000

FUEL READ EMPTY AT THE GAUGE EVEN IF FUEL TANK IS FULL. ENGINE CHECK LIGHT IS ALSO LIT

WHEN GAS GAUGE NEARS 1/4 FULL THE NEEDLE EITHER STICKS OR DROPS TO EMPTY. THE GAUGE DOES NOT RETURN TO FULL FOR SEVERAL TRIPS OR DAYS. NISSAN HAS HAD RECALLS FOR THIS BUT INDICATES MY VIN # IS NOT ON THEIR LIST. THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS EXACTLY AS IT IS DESCRIBED ON THE RECALL. I HAVE COMPENSATED FOR THIS BY KEEPING TRACK OF MY MILEAGE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2014.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING. NORMALLY, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD DISPLAY HOW MANY MILES REMAINED UNTIL FUEL WAS NEEDED ACCORDING TO THE FUEL AMOUNT. EVER SINCE THE FAILURE BEGAN APPROXIMATELY THREE MONTHS AGO, THE CONTACT WAS REFUELING THE VEHICLE MORE OFTEN SINCE THE FUEL TO MILEAGE SYSTEM FAILED. THE DEALER (DARTMOUTH NISSAN, 83 S STATE ROAD, NORTH DARTMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WOULD BE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. DUE TO THE FEE, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED, VIBRATED, AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL. THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROVIDE THE ACCURATE READING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIESTA NISSAN (2005 ST MICHAELS DR., SANTA FE, NM 87505, (505) 955-1000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE REPAIR FEES. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS FRONT AND BACK HAVE TO BE REPLACED

THE SCANNER IS SHOWING DTC P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR "A" CIRCUIT HIGH. WHY MOST CAR ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND MINE HAS NOT? THIS PROBLEM IS PREVENTING THE SYSTEM FROM SHOWING THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THE ENGINE FAILS AND STOP. PLEASE ADVISE.

MY HUSBAND HAS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS AND RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO A FAULTY READING ON THE GAS GAUGE. HE HAD TO WALK FROM THE HIGHWAY IN RECORD LOW COLD TO THE GAS STATION WITH HIS DISABILITY IN THE COLD WEATHER TO GET GAS AND BACK. THE DEALER STATES OUR TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND BELIEVE THIS TO BE UNFAIR. IF THIS IS A KNOW RECALL IT SHOULD BE FIX AND SHOULD NOT MATTER IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS LISTED AS THE CARS AFFECTED ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A KNOW ISSUE. HE COULD HAVE DIED!

FUEL GAUGE WAS READING INCORRECT AND I AM AWARE THAT THERE IS NHSTA RECAL ID 10V075000. THE CHEC ENGINE LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED AND I HAD TO GET IT REPAIRED IN ORDER TO GET AN INSPECTION STICKER IN MASSACHUSETTS.

THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT LIT UP WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. THERE IS A RECALL CAMPAIGN BULLETIN UNDER NISSAN PC042 AND NHTSA# 10V-075. THE NISSAN DEALER WILL NOT COVER THE COSTS OF PARTS AND LABOR EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE RECALL. I NEED TO GET REIMBURSED BASED ON THIS RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTATION SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

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.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING LEAVING ME WITHOUT GAS EVEN THOUGH IT SAID I HAD GAS. I WAS DRIVING WHEN CAR SHUT OFF.

NISSAN RAN THE DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD ME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BECAUSE I NEED TO PAY $500.00 TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PART THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED. I DON'T KNOW IF NISSAN CONSIDERS THE FIX ONCE AND DONE BUT VEHICLES DRIVEN IN SALT AND SAND WINTER CONDITIONS WILL NEED EXTRA ATTENTION. THE TRANSMISSION TROUBLE IS SOMETHING NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO RECALL. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION--OVER $5000.00. IF NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS, WHY MUST I, A NOW UNHAPPY OWNER, PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS?

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 PERSONS 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 TANK, AND ALMOST RUNNING OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. .

VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. VEHICLE DEMONSTRATES AND EXPERIENCES THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000. FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYS 1/4-TANK OF FUEL PRESENT WHEN THIS INFORMATION IS NOT CORRECT. TOOK SAME VEHICLE TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER.

DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT RAN A VIN CHECK IN "THE DATABASE" AND ADVISED ME THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH IT DEMONSTRATES EXACT SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN NHTSA RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS NISSAN DEALER IS CONFUSING THE NISSAN "VOLUNTARY WARRANTY EXTENSION" PROGRAM DESCRIBED AS, "FUEL SENDING UNIT PROGRAM" WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V075000 - THE LATTER NOT A VOLUNTARY BUT GOVERNMENT-ORDERED RECALL. IN APRIL, 2014, I WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH THREE YOUNG CHILDREN THROUGH THE I-64 TUNNEL UNDER WHERE THE ATLANTIC OCEAN MEETS THE JAMES RIVER IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. OUR VEHICLE ALMOST RAN OUT OF FUEL IN THE UNDERSEA TUNNEL AS I WAS RELYING UPON THE FUEL GAUGE'S REPORT OF JUST OVER 1/4-TANK OF FUEL, WHEN IT WAS IN FACT, NEARLY EMPTY.

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER 103K MILES. WE NOTICED VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDER UPON ACCELERATION AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND AGAIN AT 50 MPH. ALSO AT TIMES THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP LIKE IT COULDN'T SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. IF WE SLOWED DOWN TO 50 AND RE-ACCELERATED TO 55 MPH, THE SHUDDERING BECAME A SEVERE VIBRATION. WE TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SINCE WE HAD RECENTLY A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALER IN FIXING ANOTHER PROBLEM (TIMING CHAIN). THE MECHANIC DROPPED THE TRANSMISSION PAN AND FOUND THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING COOLANT INTO THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. MECHANIC STATED WE WERE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE CAUGHT THIS RIGHT AWAY AS IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A LOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS TOO LENGTHY TO MENTION HERE. MECHANIC REPLACED RADIATOR AND DID A TRANNY FLUSH BUT I'M NOT SURE OUR PROBLEMS ARE OVER. NOW THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY AFTER I HAVE JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL, THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND NOW I AM TOTALLY STRESSED OUT DRIVING ANYWHERE, AND ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. *TR

Mileage: 103,242

THE FUEL SENSOR WENT, THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED DOWN TO E AND THE GAS WARNING LIGHT WENT ON, WHICH IN TURN SET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WOULD WORK ONE DAY AND THEN MAYBE NOT THE NEXT, AS OF OCTOBER 2012, IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. I TRAVEL WITH 3 CHILDREN, HIGHWAY DRIVING, DAILY. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND WHEN I SPOKE TO NISSAN, IT APPARENTLY HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT FOR ONLY CERTAIN VIN #'S, NONE OF WHICH IS MINE. THIS MAKES NO SENSE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND KNOWING IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM I HAVE A HARD TIME NOT MAKING NISSAN RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. IF IT WAS A FLUKE AND IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE, THEN YES I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR IT OR DEAL WITH IT BUT NOT WHEN ITS APPARENT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I TRY TO MATHEMATICALLY FIGURE OUT MY MILEAGE BUT SOME TIMES THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK OUT AND I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS, THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING RECENTLY. I RESEARCHED POSSIBILITIES ON CAUSE AND DISCOVERED VIA THE INTERNET THIS WAS TYPICAL OF THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AND THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR AND SENDING UNIT HAD ISSUES. NISSAN INFO ON RECALLS INDICATES THAT ABOUT 74,000 VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE/YEAR HAD THAT PROBLEM AND WERE BEING RECALLED. I TOOK IT TO THE GRESHAM, OR NISSAN DEALER ON OCT 17, 2012 AND AFTER A CHECK UP WAS ADVISED MINE WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. THAT WILL BE $451 TO REPLACE. I DECLINED AND APPEALED WITH NISSAN - CASE #[XXX]. [XXX], AT NISSAN, 1800-647-7261 X [XXX] SAYS NISSAN CAN'T HELP ME. OCT 29, 2012 VERY CONVENIENT ON THEIR PART AND FRUSTRATING ON MY PART! CAN YOU HELP? THANK YOU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, SHE NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY THE ACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILIARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 94,000.

Mileage: 87,200

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DUE TO EMPTY TANK WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED AT LEAST 5 GALLONS (1/4 TANK) LEFT IN THE TANK. *TR

Mileage: 92,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN INACCURATE FUEL LEVEL READING, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REFUELED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE MOMENTARILY BEFORE RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE FUEL SENSOR. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR ABNORMALLY. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY COOLING FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE DEALER THEN PERFORMED A TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FLUSH AND THE FAILURE WAS RESOLVED. ONE YEAR LATER AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MODULE SYSTEM HAD FAILED. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A LEAK OF COOLING FLUID INTO THE RADIATOR SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

OUR PATHFINDER HAS FAILED AND BEEN "REPAIRED" 7 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT'S RELATED TO THE ISSUE ABOUT THE FUEL SENDING UNITS. I WAS EVEN ALSO TOLD BY NISSAN THAT THE SENDING UNIT WAS REPLACED BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 22K MILES. TO DATE NO LESS THAN 3 UNITS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED (INCLUDING THE NEWLY DESIGNED ONE 2X ) TO ADDRESS PLASTIC GAS TANK ISSUES. ON THREE OCCASIONS WE'VE RUN OUT OF FUEL. IT REGISTERS 1/2 TANK AND THEN WE RUN OUT. OR IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 1/2 TANK AND THEN DROPS TO E AND THE EMPTY FUEL LIGHT COMES ON. THIS WHOLE THING HAS PASSED THE INSANE LEVEL. ONCE I HAD TO PAY 400+ FOR REPAIRS AS THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE WAS EXPIRED. I TRIED TO ARGUE IT WAS COVERED UNDER PREVIOUS REPAIRS BUT THAT'S LIKE SPITTING IN THE WIND (NISSAN AS WELL AS THE DEALER COWELS NISSAN). SINCE THE LAST "REPAIR" A FEW MONTHS AGO IT HAS ALSO FAILED 4 MORE TIMES. WE'RE JUST IN THE HABIT OF USING THE TRIP METER. FIRST QUESTION IS THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOU POTENTIALLY COULD JUST RUN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE. ALSO WITH ALL THESE ERRORS IN THE COMPUTER THE VEHICLE WON'T PASS STATE SAFETY INSPECTIONS. LAST TIME NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE SENDER UNIT OR AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIRS OR PAY FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. THEY CLAIMED THE MECHANIC DROVE IT HOME AND FOUND NO ERRORS...IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN HELP OUT WITH THIS ISSUE. WITH ALL THESE REPAIRS ALL THESE PARTS / LABOR WARRANTIED FOR 12M / 12,000 MILES. WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING? CAN SOMEONE ASSIST US HERE ? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE SHAKES AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPED WHEN DRIVING. DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. TOOK TO AMOCO AND TOLD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS MIXING WITH THE RADIATOR AND BOTH FAILED. COST OVER $4,000 DOLLARS TO FIX OR IT IS UTTERLY USELESS - JUST OVER 82K MILES. INVESTIGATION SHOWS DANGEROUS TREND FOR SAFETY AND COMPLETE PRODUCT DEFECT, WITH YEARS OF FOREKNOWLEDGE BY NISSAN. DRIVING IS DANGEROUS SINCE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE CONSISTENTLY AND STEERING VIOLENTLY SHAKES. *TR

KNOWN ISSUE WITH FUEL SYSTEM (NHTSA ID # 10V075000) NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES PROBLEMS BUT PUT MILEAGE LIMIT ON DEALER PAID REPAIR. (APPROXIMATELY 1300 MILES OVER) APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURE ISSUES HAVE TIME LIMITS REGARDLESS OF SAFETY ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS. INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS CAUSED DELAYS IN IDENTIFYING THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TIMETABLED,INACCURATE AND THEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS IS A FAILURE OF BOTH NISSAN AND THE NHTSA TO ALLOW MILEAGE TO BE THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN LIMITING OUR SAFETY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD SHOW FUEL LEVELS THAT WERE INCONSISTENT WITH THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A TRANSMISSION COOLANT LEAK. THERE WAS ALSO A FAULTY FUEL LEVEL FENDER, PROVIDING INCORRECT READINGS. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILLARY TANK) BUT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,667. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,568.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY ACCURATE READINGS. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED AN EMPTY READING WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS ACTUALLY FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:AUXILLARY TANK). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 136,000.

MY 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAD BEEN HAVING FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. FINALLY AFTER THE ANNOYANCE BECAME TOO MUCH, WE TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE ASSEMBLY THAT INVOLVED A RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY FOR US, WE MISSED THE RECALL BY LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT NISSAN KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM, THEN ARBITRARILY CHOSE A DATE WHEN THE RECALL WOULD END THAT WOULD SATISFY THE NHTSA, BUT NOT FULLY COVER THE PERIOD WHEN THIS PROBLEM COULD ARISE. LIMITING THIS RECALL BY DATE CAN PROVE TO BE EXTREMELY PREJUDICIAL TO THE CUSTOMER THAT PURCHASES THE VEHICLE LATER IN THE YEAR; FOR EXAMPLE, PURCHASING THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2006 VERSUS JANUARY 2006 WOULD PLACE THE CONSUMER AT AN ELEVEN MONTH DISADVANTAGE. *TT

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.
