I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER. IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A NISSAN DEALER WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS TRIGGERED A RECALL FOR 2005 AND 2006 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED WITHIN THREE MONTHS OF MY MANUFACTURER DATE YET HAS NOT BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. THIS IS AN EXISTING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT RECALL. THIS COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES AS VEHICLES CAN UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GAS AND BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE ON HIGHWAYS OR OTHER DANGEROUS SCENARIOS. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND ASKED THEM TO REVIEW THIS ISSUE AND INCLUDE THE ENTIRE 2006 MODEL YEAR BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE AT THIS TIME. *TR

MY WIFE [XXX] PURCHASED OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER 2006, HER FATHER [XXX] COSIGNED FOR HER. WE HAD A 36,000 MILE WARRANTY ON THIS VEHICLE. AT 40K THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING IN LATE 2008, I TOOK IT BACK TO BENSON NISSAN IN EASLEY SC WHERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM NEW, THEY TOLD US THAT IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR INSIDE THE TANK AND WOULD COST US $700 TO FIX, AND WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF IT, AS THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THERE WAS NO RECALL ON IT. I TALKED TO THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT AT NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN I HEARD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, I QUICKLY CALLED THEM AGAIN SEVERAL WEEKS AGO, AFTER GIVING MY VIN # TO THEM THEY GOT BACK WITH ME AND TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE!...I ARGUED TO NO AVAIL....I HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS NUMEROUS TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I KEEP THE MILAGE WRITTEN DOWN OVER MY VISOR TO TRY AND KEEP UP WITH IT. SOMETIMES IT WILL SHOW I HAVE GAS WHEN I DON'T, AND IT HAS BECOME TO DANGEROUS FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE IT SO I AM FORCED TO DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME. IT IS A CONCERN AND AN INCONVIENIENCE. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN DO SOMETHING. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON THE INTERNET THAT I AM SHOCKED NISSAN IS NOT RECALLING THESE VEHICLES BACK TO 2005 AT LEAST.......THANKS FOR ANY HELP THAT YOU CAN GIVE.......

IN 2007, THE FUEL LEVEL UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED. IN 2009, THE FUEL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS HAVE BEGUN. THE DEALER REFUSES TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM PATHFINDER OWNERS. I AM OUT OF MONEY AND PATIENCE WITH THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR
