VEHICLES FUEL SYSTEM IS FAULTY. I NOTICED THAT THE GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY AFTER HAVING A FULL TANK OF GAS, ADDITIONALLY THE DIGITAL "DISTANCE TO EMPTY" DISPLAY DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. AT TIMES THE LOW GAS INDICATOR WILL BE DISPLAYED EVEN AFTER I FILLED THE TANK UP. I HAVE BEEN IN TWO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS WHERE I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE HIGHWAY THINKING THAT I HAD ENOUGH GAS FOR MY JOURNEY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. NISSAN REPLACED THE PARTS ON 2006 & 2007 VEHICLES BUT REFUSE TO REPLACE MY 2005 DEVICE QUOTING THAT IT HAS HIGH MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

NISSAN WILL NOT COVER THE PROBLEM - IT WILL COST APPROX $700 FOR US TO FIX. PLEASE PUSH NISSAN ALONG AND HAVE THEM RECALL THE VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WE OWN A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE GAS GAUGE STARTED WORKING ERRATICALLY. WE WOULD FILL UP THE TANK AND IT WOULDN'T REGISTER AT ALL AND THEN THE NEXT TIME WE GOT IN THE CAR IT WOULD REGISTER SOMETHING, BUT THE MILES TO EMPTY WAS NEVER ACCURATE. EVENTUALLY IT GOT TO WHERE IT DIDN'T WORK AT ALL AND JUST STAYED ON EMPTY. I FINALLY HAD TO LEARN HOW MANY MILES I WOULD GET PER TANK AND FILL UP BASED ON THAT NUMBER. THEN ONE DAY AFTER A LONG TRIP, I GOT A LITTLE OFF ON THE MILEAGE AND RAN OUT OF GAS COMPLETELY ON A MAJOR FREEWAY IN THE INSIDE LANE WITH NO SHOULDER. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HAVE MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WITHIN ABOUT 10MIN OF RUNNING OUT OF GAS, A STATE TROOPER PULLED UP BEHIND ME AND PUSHED ME OUT OF HARMS WAY. HOWEVER, HAD THAT STATE TROOPER NOT SHOWN UP, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY BAD AND IT CERTAINLY WAS DANGEROUS FOR ALL INVOLVED. IT TURNS OUT THAT NISSAN HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT ON SEVERAL OF THEIR MODELS THROUGH MULTIPLE YEARS. FOR SOME REASON, THEY DID NOT INCLUDE THE 2005 MODEL ON THEIR RECALL OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART. OUR CAR DID FAIL ITS RECENT INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY PART AND MY HUSBAND ENDED UP REPLACING IT HIMSELF AT OUR COST. I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

IF THIS OCCURS, THE CZS MAY INTERNALLY RUST RESULTING IN A SIGNAL INTERRUPTION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE RED AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE TO ALERT THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN THE NON-DEPLOYMENT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIR BAGS IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY.

Our report, documenting this review, is available in the document file for this defect petition.It will also be published in the Federal Register. Of the 2,505 referenced complaints, 638 relate to a potential hazard (unable to maintain speed, no motive power, engine stall) and 1,867 concern customer satisfaction issues including, but not limited to, repair cost, vehicle shudder and shake, and engine overheating.Taking into account the allocation of agency resources and priorities and the likelihood that additional investigation would result in a finding that an unreasonable risk to highway safety exists, we conclude that further investigation is not warranted and deny the petition.ODI Complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.
