2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER Fuel/propulsion System Problems

There was a recall concerning the fuel gauge not working correctly. The sensor in the tank needed replaced. Well my car had that recall fixed or so it says, but it is doing the same thing again. So are you gonna replace it again for no cost?

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. [XXX]. HEL ME WIT THE NEXT STEP TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

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.

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.

THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED) HAD TO BE REPLACED. IT COST ME $350 BUT I DIDN'T KEEP A RECEIPT. AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HAD A SHOP DID THE REPAIR BUT HAS SINCE MOVED AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE. I WAS UNABLE TO PUT MORE THAN A FEW GALLONS OF GAS WHEN PUMPING GAS BEFORE IT WOULD CUT OFF. I WOULD WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND PUMP A FEW MORE GALLONS AND IT WOULD CUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD IT REPLACED LAST YEAR BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE MILEAGE.

ON MY 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WHICH IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD, I HAVE REPAIRED MY TRANSMISSION DUE TO AN ATF CONTAMINATION VIA THE COOLING SYSTEM AROUND 95,000 MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AT 90,000 MILES USED. THIS AFFECTED MY SPEED CONTROL AND ALL RELATED SYSTEMS.THE RADIATOR WAS REPLACED ALSO DUE TO THE CONTAMINATION. THIS HAS AFFECTED MY COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM AND ALL RELATED SYSTEMS.THIS COST MY EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY AROUND $2,900+ (GLAD I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO PURCHASE THIS WARRANTY), HOWEVER IT COST ME MY DEDUCTIBLE OF $200.00. ON FEBRUARY 12, 2016 I DROPPED MY NISSAN OFF FOR A FOLLOW-UP REPAIR TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY AFTER GOING IN FOR A SIMPLE ALIGNMENT EARLIER (WHICH WAS A WASTE OF MONEY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A CAMPER KIT IN ORDER FOR YOUR ALIGNMENT TO BE 100%, $249.00 OUT-OF-POCKET). THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO BUY A BRAND NEW SET OF TIRES OUT-OF-POCKET WHICH CAME WITH A FREE ALIGNMENT AS A SPECIAL, OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE RE-PAYED FOR ANOTHER ALIGNMENT. HEADQUARTERS NISSAN OF COLUMBUS,GA NEVER INFORMED ME OF THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUES WITH THESE SUVS! THIS RESULTED IN PERFORMANCE ISSUES. AGAIN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL PAY AROUND $1,800 TO NISSAN FOR THE REPAIRS AND ME A $200.00 DEDUCTIBLE. I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY IN ATLANTA,GA DURING RUSH HOUR BEFORE BECAUSE MY GAS GAUGE OR INDICATOR OR SOMETHING DOESN'T READ OR IS INACCURATE. I ALSO HEAR NOISE FROM THE TIRES OR SOMETHING WHEN I ROLL OVER SPEED BUMPS, ACCELERATE OR BANK LEFT OR RIGHT WITH BAD, HARD STEERING. THE COOLING AND HEATING SYSTEM HAS NOT BLOWN AIR AT TIMES AND SOMETIMES I HAVE TO DEPRESS THE GAS PETAL WHILE IDLING TO HEAT UP AIR THAT HAS GONE COLD. WHEN THE A/C DOES THIS I TURN OFF THE A/C AND LET THE WINDOWS DOWN, PRESSING THE GAS PETAL DOES NOT WORK. NISSAN SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND A PROBLEM WITH THIS SYSTEM WHEN DIAGNOSING VEHICLE?!

I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR THAT NEEDED REPLACED, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA INFORMS ME MY VIN ISN'T COVERED IN THE NHTSA REFERENCE #10V075000 RECALL OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR THAT BEGAN MARCH 2010, I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED AFTER THE RECALL WAS INITIATED. DUE TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR NEEDING REPLACED ($600), I WAS NOT ABLE TO PASS MY EMISSIONS TEST IN CO ($25), AND AM NOT ABLE TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE ($200). SO IF I HAVE TO PAY FOR MY OWN REPAIRS I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE A PART THAT NISSAN IS AWARE HAS AN ISSUE, GET A SECOND EMISSIONS TEST AND PAY ANY LATE FEES ON TOP OF MY ANNUAL REGISTRATION FEE. I BELIEVE THAT IF NISSAN IS AWARE OR THIS ISSUE THEY SHOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE AT NO COST TO ME AND/OR IF A RECALL WAS INITIATED THEN THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE EXPLANATION AS TO WHY MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED.

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

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.

IN OCTOBER 2012, I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS AND THE FUEL GAUGE DID NOT REGISTER A FULL TANK. I DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR A FEW MILES AND THE GAS GAUGE INDICATED EMPTY. THE CHECK /SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN FAIRFIELD, CA. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED ME $139.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM!! THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND IT WOULD COST AN ADDITIONAL $318.00. I DID NOT HAVE THE ADDITIONAL MONEY TO PERFORM THIS SERVICE. ON 11/19/2012, I DISCOVERED THAT NHTSA HAD HAD ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL, CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 FOR THE 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND INDICATED THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WAS TO BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE DATE OF THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN WAS MARCH 2010. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. ADDITIONALLY, I ALWAYS TAKE MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, SO THEY MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO TO ADVISE ME OF THIS PROBLEM AND PERFORM THE NECESSARY FIX. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $318.00, I CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHCILE WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, CITING MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AFTER 75,000 MILES. I COUNTERED WITH THE STATEMENT THAT FIRSTLY, IT WAS A NHTSA RECALL, SECONDLY, THAT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED, AND THIRDLY, HAD I HAD BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED IN MARCH 2010, I WOULD HAVE STILL BEEN WITHIN WARRANTY COVERAGE, ALTHOUGH AS A SAFETY RECALL THE SERVICE SHOULD BE PERFORMED FOR FREE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REFER THE MATTER TO REGIONAL. THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER OF 10094748. I CONTACTED NHTSA HOTLINE AND THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER OF 493972. FROM THE NHTSA NOTICE IT APPEARS OVER 80,000 VEHICLES WERE SOLD WHICH WOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM. BY NOT NOTIFYING THE OWNERS AS NHTSA REQUESTED THEM TO DO, NISSAN WOULD SAVE 80,000 X $318.00 THUS SAVING NISSAN $29,048,040. *TR

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V075000 COVERS A DEFECTIVE FUEL SENDING UNIT/GAUGE ON 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDERS RESULTING IN THE FUEL GAUGE OVERSTATING THE FUEL LEVEL BY 1/4 TANK. I HAVE A 2008 NISSAN PATHFINDER (VIN# [XXX]) EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE, YET NISSAN IS CLAIMING MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. IF 1 MANUFACTURING PLANT PRODUCED VEHICLES WITH THIS ISSUE IT STAND TO REASON THAT ANOTHER PLANT USING THE EXACT SAME PARTS WOULD ALSO PRODUCE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVIDENCED BY THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURING PLANT DOES INDEED HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR
