FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. WHEN I FILL THE TANK IT WILL SHOW EMPTY OR SOME OTHER INCORRECT AMOUNT. ALSO, THE DTE DISPLAY IS FLASHING SOLID LINES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. AFTER DRIVING THE GAUGE SOMETIMES STARTS TO WORK PROPERLY BUT IT ALWAYS MALFUNCTIONS AT SOME POINT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT SOMETIMES, BUT COMES BACK ON WHEN FUEL LEVEL GETS LOW.

2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER WAS TAKEN TODAY FOR A ROUTINE YEARLY INSPECTION. ONLY ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH IT IS THE HEATER PERIODICALLY DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY. AT THE NISSAN DEALER, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT A "COOLING LINE IS BROKEN AND ALL ANTIFREEZE MIXED IN WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID". ESTIMATED COST IS $7000. IN ADDITION, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACED. THE REPAIRMAN INDICATED "MANY" PATHFINDERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER SEARCHING ON-LINE, THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ANGRY THAT THEIR PATHFINDERS ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, YET NISSAN IS STILL NOT ASSUMING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY OF THIS. I ALSO FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS IS QUITE DISCONCERTING, AS THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD, AND I AM NOW BEING TOLD I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE DRIVING IT. THEY ARE OFFERING TO HELP ONLY BY GIVING US A GREAT DEAL ON A TRADE. HOWEVER, I NO LONGER TRUST NISSAN, AND WOULD NOT TRADE FOR ANOTHER NISSAN. I AM ASKING NISSAN FOR SOME EXPLANATION, AND SOME FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE ON THIS ISSUE, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD A REPLY. THE DEALER ONLY OFFERS A "GREAT" TRADE-IN VALUE - THE MANUFACTURER HASN'T REPLIED YET (ASSUMING THEY WILL REPLY AT ALL". THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME ON THIS MATTER AND ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO ASSIST. *TR
