2007 Nissan Pathfinder Fuel System

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROPERLY MEASURE THE FUEL LEVELS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, IT WOULD INDICATE THAT IT WAS EMPTY AND WHEN THE TANK WAS EMPTY IT INDICATED THAT IT WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT ASSOCIATED TO ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FUEL GAUGE WAS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, TO WHERE WHEN I FILLED IT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD DROP TO ZERO/EMPTY. I TOOK IT INTO THE NISSAN DEALER (SANDY SANDSING IN PENSACOLA, FL) AND THEY TOLD ME THE ISSUE/RECALL WAS LIMITED TO THE ALTIMA AND THE XTERRA ONLY AND NOT MY PATHFINDER. AT 38000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE ISSUE WAS CONSTANT, BUT IT WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. FINALLY, NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL AND I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE REPLACEMENT BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER THEIR LIMIT. I AM NOT ASKING TO HAVE THIS SENSOR REPLACED JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT, IT IS INOPERABLE. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ME FOR THE POOR GAS MILEAGE I GET FROM HAVING TO CONSTANTLY DRIVE WITH A FULL FUEL TANK; BECAUSE THE GAS GAUGE WAS UNRELIABLE. I WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN. *TR

2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER, THE FUEL SENDING UNIT IS THE PROBLEM (ERROR CODE PO463), AFTER FUELING UP THE GAS GAUGE LEVEL DROPPED, FUEL LIGHT CAME ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NISSAN ASSIST REFUSES TO COVER THE PROBLEM STATING THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE CAMPAIGN IS OVER. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT A CAMPAIGN OR EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. WITH SO MANY VEHICLES AFFECTED AND THE DANGER OF NO GAS LEVEL READING IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN SURELY WILL NEVER SEE MY BUSINESS FOR ANY FUTURE PURCHASE OF A VEHICLE. IT SURE IS NICE TO KNOW HOW NISSAN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A LEGITIMATE PROBLEM REGARDING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AN PROVIDED ME NO EXPLANATION OTHER THAN IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD. READ ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT'S NEXT THE TRANSMISSION, WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I BET I'M HEADING THEIR TOO. *TR

THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CODE IS P0463, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. I WENT TODAY 5/25/13 TO GET A MA INSPECTION STICKER. THE VEHICLE FAILED DUE TO THIS CODE. *TR

MY 2007 PATHFINDER HAS SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON FROM A FAILURE WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS THREAD: HTTP://X.NISSANHELP.COM/FORUMS/XTERRA/4151-FUEL-GAUGE-PROBLEM-SERVICE-ENGINE-SOON-LIGHT.HTML IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IN MANY VEHICLES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR

FUEL GAUGE LEVEL SENDING UNIT. *TR

FUEL SENDING UNIT BAD TROUBLE CODE 0463. FILLED GAS TANK AT 1/4 TO FULL. STARTED CAR GAUGE READ A LITTLE ABOVE 1/4 TANK OF GAS. GAUGE WENT UP SLOWLY TO ABOUT 1/2 THEN SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 0(EMPTY). *TR

MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER'S GAS GAUGE STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN FEBRUARY 2010. I ACTUALLY WAS TOLD I HAD 1/2 TANK BUT REALIZED IT WAS EMPTY WHEN I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MY TWO KIDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I CALLED NISSAN USA AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR CERTAIN YEARS AND MONTHS THE CAR WAS MADE BUT MY MONTH WASN'T COVERED. I CANNOT FORK OVER 500 DOLLARS TO FIX THE GAUGE BUT I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE SO OBVIOUSLY THAT IS NOT SAFE. *TR

WHEN YOU FUEL UP THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. IT WILL LATER GO TO FULL PUT THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON. TO GET THE LIGHT TO GO OFF YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMEONE CLEAR THE CODE OR DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE. I FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR NISSAN VEHICLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NOT REGISTER A CORRECT READING OF FUEL IN THE TANK. SECONDS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FULL, THE GAUGE DISPLAYED EMPTY. THE FUEL GAUGE WORKED NORMALLY INTERMITTENTLY WHENEVER THERE WAS A QUARTER TANK OF GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THAT IT WAS THE DTE SENSOR THAT FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE ABOUT THE DEFINITION OF DTE, BUT IT DEALS WITH THE MILEAGE AND FUEL TANK READING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60000.

I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA AND DRIVE DIRT ROADS DAILY. I PURCHASED A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER IN 2007 AND HAVE TWO CANISTERS REPLACED. I WAS NOT TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON DIRT ROADS BECAUSE THE CANISTER CLOGS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. MY CONCERN: I HAVE 82,000 MILES ON THE CAR, MY EXTENDED WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 100,000 MILES. I WILL DRIVE DIRT ROADS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, I WANT SOME SORT OF GUARANTEE THAT THE NEXT TIME THIS CANISTER FAILS (WHICH CAUSES THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON), THAT THE COST OF REPAIR WILL NOT BE ON ME. I DON'T FEEL THIS IS FAIR. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IS THERE ACTUALLY A DESIGN FLAW AND CAN I HAVE SOME SORT OF GUARANTEE THAT NISSAN WILL STAND BEHIND THIS. I DON'T THINK IT WOULD BE FAIR TO SELL THE CAR AND PASS THIS PROBLEM ONTO THEM. IT IS VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR. UPDATED IVOQ 10/04/10 *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WAS INACCURATELY DISPLAYING AN EMPTY READING.

THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 35,400.

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT OF NISSAN PATHFINDER STOPS WORKING SHORTLY AFTER 25K MILES AND THE GAUGE STARTS SHOWING THAT THE TANK IS SUDDENLY EMPTY LEADING TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AND STUCK ON THE ROAD WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY FOR MOMS LIKE ME WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I FILLED MY 2007 NISSAN PATHFINDER UP WITH GAS. WHEN I STARTED DRIVING HOME, I NOTICED TO SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON. IT HAS REMAINED ON FOR A WEEK CONTINUOUSLY. THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED GOING CRAZY DURING THIS TIME. ONE MINUTE IT SHOWS A FULL TANK AND THE NEXT IT SHOWS EMPTY AND THE NEXT A HALF A TANK TO THREE QUARTERS A TANK. TODAY, I FILLED UP THE TRUCK AND IT SHOWS A HALF TANK. ALSO, DURING THIS TIME THE DTE STARTED OUT FLUCTUATING AND NOW JUST SHOWS --- ALL THE TIME. *TR
