2005 Nissan Pathfinder

I HAVE A 2005 PATHFINDER LE. THE FUEL GAUGE IS SHOWING IN-ACCURATE READING EVEN IF THERE IS NO GAS IN THE TANK IT STILL READS WITH A QUARTER OF THE TANK WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE VEHICLE RUNNING OUT OF GAS AND STALLING THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AS I USE THIS VEHICLE ON LONG TRIPS WITH MY FAMILY. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN NTB07-069B AUGUST 12, 2009 FOR PATHFINDERS INCLUDING THIS MODEL BUT THE RECALL DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2005 MODEL WHICH IS ODD THAT THEY WILL BYPASS THE '05 AND START THE RECALL FROM MODEL '06 TILL 08, WHERE, THERE WERE A LOT OF FUEL GAUGE COMPLAINTS. THIS FAILURE HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY FILL UP. AND I HAVE BEEN FILLING UP EVERY 1/2 A TANK. *DT

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 30-40 MPH. A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED "EMPTY". THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ANY FUEL LEVEL CAPACITY. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 05/11/10. *LJ UPDATED 6/1/10 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2006 MODELS AND UP, HOWEVER THE 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE SAME PART WAS USED FOR THE 2066 AND NEWER MODELS. UPDATED 07/07/10.*JB

MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS 58,136 MILES AND THE GAS GAUGE HAS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK, IT TAKES DRIVING THE CAR FOR AT LEAST 30 MILES BEFORE THE GAUGE WILL MOVE FROM EMPTY AND THEN THE DTE DISPLAY NEVER SHOWS HOW MANY MILES I HAVE REMAINING AND IT SHOW FOUR DASHES AND SOMETIMES 0. I AM NEVER SURE OF HOW MUCH GAS I ACTUALLY HAVE SINCE THE GAUGE IS NO LONGER ACCURATE. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY ARE RECALLING ALL MODELS ABOVE THE 2005 WHEN WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,190.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. AFTER DRIVING 45MPH AND THEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, THE GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL EMPTY LIGHT CAME ON. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED A FUEL GAUGE SENSOR AND DELIVERY UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE IS A RECURRING ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66300.

I BOUGHT MY 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER NEW FROM THE DEALER. AT ABOUT 70,000 MILES I STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND WAS TOLD THAT NISSAN HAD A SEVERE PROBLEM WITH THE RADIATOR LEAKING INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND RUINING IT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE RADIATOR AT A COST OF ABOUT $3,000. I BELIEVE THAT NISSAN SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS SO WIDELY DOCUMENTED. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE POWER MODULE, THE THERMOSTAT , THE SUNVISOR, AND THE HYDRAULIC LIFTS FOR THE BACK HATCH ALL REPLACED WITH THE CAR STILL UNDER 80,000 MILES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WON'T BE LOOKING FOR A NISSAN PRODUCT WHEN I SHOP FOR MY NEXT CAR. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT ABOUT 3 WKS AGO I STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL GAUGE READINGS NOT BEING ACCURATE AND GETTING ERRATIC READING OR NONE AT ALL OR WHEN THE GAS TANK IS HALF FULL I DON'T GET ANY READING, AFTER CONTACT WITH THE NISSAN DEALER IN MY AREA THEY GAVE ME A COPY OF A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT HAD BEEN SENT TO ALL DEALERS ON AUG 12,2009 ABOUT DEFECTIVE OR ERRATIC FUEL GAUGE ISSUES, CLASSIFICATION# EL07-027B REF# NTB07-069B, APPLIED VEHICLES 2005-2009 PATHFINDER (R51), APPLIED VINS 2005-2008 PATHFINDER-ALL, ALSO IN THE RECALL WHICH STATES 419,000 VEHS IN THE US FOR A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM, THE NISSAN DEALER STATED THAT NISSAN IS NOT ANSWERING COMPLAINTS OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, I CONTACTED NISSAN OF N. AMERICA AND RECEIVED AN E-MAIL SAYING THERE IS NO RECALL OR SERVICE CAMPAIGN AND THAT I SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THE DEFECT FIXED, THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IN 2 WKS THEY HAVE ONLY RECEIVED ABOUT 3 LETTERS ON RECALLS FROM NISSAN AND WHEN THEY CALLED TO FIND OUT WHY SO SLOW, NO ANSWER WAS GIVEN, I DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET A DEFECT FIXED THAT NISSAN ALREADY KNOWS EXIST IN THEIR VEHICLES, MY [XXX] AND THE FILE NUMBER BY NISSAN IS FILE# [XXX] , THE TWO NISSAN CONSUMER REPS SPOKEN TO WERE VIVIAN GONZALEZ AND SAMANTHA FORRESTER, I WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP ON THIS MATTER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 40 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKING INTO THE RADIATOR. THE CONTACT WAS DISPLEASED TO KNOW THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOT FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,974. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. I HAVE COME TO FIND THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING DUE TO A DEFECTIVE RADIATOR LETTING RADIATOR FLUID INTO THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR, WHICH HAS 88K MILES IS NOW OUT OF THE 60K MI. NISSAN WARRANTY. FROM DOING RESEARCH ONLINE I SEE THAT THIS IS A VERY,COMMON PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO AFFECT ALL 2005 PATHFINDERS. AS THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NISSAN COULD HAVE WARNED ABOUT THE ISSUE (REPLACING THE RADIATOR BEFORE IT FAILED AND FAILED THE TRANSMISSION) AS WELL IT MOST LIKELY STARTED FAILING BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR ALL 2005 PATHFINDER OWNERS. *TR
