Quisiera radicar una querella por un problema que tiene mi vehiculo con el "fuel level sensor" la boyita de la gasolina de una pathfinder de 2006 con 60k millas. Al parecer luego de mi cotejo por internet en diferentes foros, encontre muchas personas con vehiculos iguales y/o similares con el motor 4.0l itros y fabricante nissan ( x- terra , frontier , pathfinder) todos con el mismo problema. Expresaban que sus vehiculos encendian la luz de "check engine" y era como consecuencia del problema con la fuel level sensor. Luego de un analisis determine que podri ser como consecuencia de un defecto de manofactura del fabricante.
2006 Nissan Pathfinder fuel system complaints
Page 8 of 9: complaints 191 to 220 of 231, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I own a 2006 pathfinder that I purchased new from the dealership. My issue began with a fill up when I had 1/3 of a tank of gas and found that the needle did not move until the following day. When it did finally register, the service engine light came on. The following week I had 1/4 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. After filling up my gas tank, I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the needle dropped to empty and the check engine light came on. I had a diagnostic done and it read that there is an issue with the fuel level sensor. I called the dealer and was told that the fuel sensor was not covered under warranty and there are no recalls for this problem. I was amazed there is no action from nissan considering the multitude of entries I discovered on the internet with the exact problem. It appears that this is an ongoing issue with models ranging from 2005-2007. This repair is estimated to cost upwards of $700 from the dealer. This safety issue makes me very uncomfortable to drive any distance and is due to a faulty part that nissan should remedy at no cost to the vehicle owner. The consumer affairs department also informed me there are no recalls for this problem and I will have to let an authorized nissan center diagnose and correct the problem and only gave me a case number to refer to if I was not satisfied.
I have a 2006 nissan pathfinder that just out of the blue, the service engine just came on. I have read in the internet, and there are a lot of complaints about this subject. We are talking about gasoline, a very flammable and explosive liquid, combine that with a defective electrical fuel sensor and we are talking fire or worst. Nissan is not doing anything about this, except telling people to replace the sensor. My nissan just went over 39, 000 miles, how convenient, out of warranty. I just hope nobody is waiting for something bad happens before this issue is resolved. Thanks
About one year ago my fuel gauge bottomed out after filling the tank. Since then it has been erratic with the fuel reading. We continued to deal with it until recently. My wife was traveling on the highway and the vehicle just died. She managed to pull off the road and the car restarted. This continued several more times until she returned home. Now the car won't start at all. The code pulled from it is p0463. I understand this is a known issue with nissan.
The fuel level indicator does not work on my car. I have no way of knowing when my car is low on fuel other than to keep a running tab on how many miles I have driven since the last fill up of fuel. Recently I was driving and my car totally shut off in the middle of the street. I lost my power steering and could not pull over. Several cars almost ran directly into my rear as it happened so suddenly. I came to find out that the reason my car stopped was that I was out of gas and had no idea that my fuel was low (due to the fact that the fuel level indicator does not work). My husband has the exact same model vehicle as I do and the same thing happened to him. He had no idea that he was low on fuel and his car cut off in the middle of an extremely busy major atlanta expressway. He had to manually steer his vehicle off of the road and avoid being smashed into by other vehicles traveling at well over 65 MPH. Since discovering this we both try to keep track of how many miles we've driven since filling up but we never know accurately how many miles we can get per fill up. I've been doing research and have found dozens upon dozens of people with the same problem with their nissan pathfinders. Even the repair facility we tried to take it to was aware of this problem as they have people with the same problem almost weekly. I fear that I could get into a serious accident due to the fact that I have no idea that I am low on fuel. I truly believe that a manufacturer recall is in order and the nissan corp is putting it's consumers in harms way by refusing to have this repaired free of charge.
Fuel gauge reading empty after filling up the tank. Check engine light on.
Fuel gauge inaccurate. Shows empty tank even after I fill up. Works later that day until fuel falls to 1/2 full.
2006 nissan pathfinder le gas gauge read 1/4 tank on my way to work with baby in car, ran out of gas when I thought I had 1/4 tank. Brought it to dealership they said they replaced the fuel level sensor. At a red light last night with 1/2 tank (according to gauge) all of the sudden gas low level light flashes and dte reads---- apparently dealership did not do what they said they did or problem lies elsewhere. There are thousands of other nissan owners with this same problem. There needs to be a recall issued plain and simple!
Fuel level sending unit. Inconsistent. Faulty part appears others are experiencing same problem sometimes works properly and other times reports empty tank although gas tank full.
My 2006 pathfinder with 49k miles, the gas gauge went to completely empty. The dte read ------ after I filled the gas tank completly.then my service engine light came on. The gas gauge after about 10 miles moved up to 1/2 tank, but service light is still on. Did some research and found service bulletin ntb07-069a , which seems to indicate this is a real problem with several models, including xterra's. I went to autozone and pulled the code po463 which confirmed the fuel sending unit is the issue. Now trying to find out why they apparently won't cover it.
Fuel gauge messing up...causing check engine light to come on. Huge reading low when full.
"I had 1/4 of a tank of gas on my 2006 nissan pathfinder and went to fill up. After filling up my gas tank, I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. After driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. I went directly to the dealer and was told that it was a fuel sending unit/sensor and that it was no longer covered after 30k miles. After returning home and doing research, I went online to x.nissanhelp.com after performing a search, I came across many others who have experienced the same problem. Apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. A similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger(I have to young kids). It seems that something in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. There is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 3 yrs and with around 57k. If this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! Why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. Paid $300 for the repairs."
About a month ago my wife went to fill up our 2006 pathfinder and when she finished the gas gauge showed only half fill. She went to another gas station tried to fill it up but it only took another dollar. The next day I called up nissan who said it was the sending unit in the gas tank and would be apx $600 to fix. I saw other logs of xterras having this problem and there was a recall. Our car was just past the 3 year warranty. If this were the only problem with this car I'd pay to get it fixed. But I've had another but problems with this vehicle. I've gone through 3 sets of rotors and I'm on my 3rd set of tires. The drivers side door lock broke and to be brought in twice, and the bose system has a cd stuck which I can't get out. This happened only after we owned it a few months.
The gas gauge of my 2006 nissan pathfinder will not register a correct amount and the ses light comes on after I fill the tank. Then the gauge drops to 0 and the lights start to flash that there is no gas. After awhile the gas gauge fluctuates, but it will not return to full and it is impossible to tell how much gas there is in the car.
I have a 2006 nissan pathfinder with 51,000 miles that has just encountered an bad fuel sending unit. Error code p0463. Since it has passed the 3yr/36,000 mile warranty, I am going to be paying about $500 to get it fixed. In researching this problem on the internet, I have found out that this is happening to many later nissan models with the same fuel sending unit. Thank you for looking into this matter.
I own a 2006 pathfinder and based on research done online, it's appalling to see how many folks have the same problem and nissan has not recalled the vehicle. I filled up my tank on 6/19, but fuel gauge didn't move from half tank. The check engine light soon came on and stayed on. After discussing with the dealer, it's going to cost about $600 to fix this well known and documented problem on the pathfinders, xterras and frontiers. The issue is a fuel sender sensor that can reduce or stop gas from flowing into the engine. This is a part failure that needs to be corrected by nissan before anyone is injured or results in death due to vehicle stopping in the middle of the freeway. To read that most folks are not fixing the problem due to the financial is just as freighting, but I'm in total agreement. Why should anyone have to pay for a known and defective part on a vehicle that is 3 years old with little over 40k miles. This issue has been around for years, going back to 2000. Nissan finally recalled the 2000 through 2004 models. They need to do the right thing and recall the 2005 through 2009 models. In this site alone there are over 45 complaints on the 2006 pathfinder. That is on 2006 model year alone. Searching through other forums, the complaints litter web pages on the same problem across the nation. Someone offered a solution to pull the negative wire from the battery which would reset the check engine light and turn it off. This does not fix the problem, it prolongs it and gives a false sense of security.
2006 nissan pathfinder was purchased new in sept 2006. In 2008 with approximately 53,000 miles on vehicle, the fuel sending unit failed which resulted in my gas gauge not reading and the service engine soon light coming on. Massachusetts will not pass for inspection a vehicle with a service engine soon light on. Nissan stated that while the fuel pump is part of the power train, the fuel sending unit is not and therefore not covered under the power train warranty. The fix was to be over $400 to the nissan dealer. After writing to mr goshen, nissan north america president, it was eventually covered. I have kids and with the gas gauge not reading, I ran out of gas on the highway, despite my best attempts to track miles driven and relate it to the gas level. Nissan has a service bulletin and knows this is an issue. The government should force a recall as thousands have had this same issue with xterras, pathfinders and frontiers. Someone will be hurt or worse by their neglect of consumers.
2006 nissan pathfinder has stopped 3 times in the middle of the road while driving down the street, car will not re-start, had to be towed to a dealership all 3 times. Fuel sensor replaced, in the shop now for the same problem the third time.
Fuel gage indication went from 1/2 tank to empty indication and the check engine indication went on.
My distance till empty gas gauge just stopped working just as my car hit 36,100 miles. My warranty was for 36 months or 36,000 miles. Of course this happens that stuff tears up are the warranty is up. Two days are the gas gauge goes out the service engine light came on.
2005 to 2008 nissan pathfinder many, many,owners are have the same problem with the fuel sending unit/sensor going bad between 35k to 45k after the warranty expires, which must be a deficit and should be a recall because it could lead to a bigger problem that will possibly stop the fuel pump and cause the vehicle to stop without warning that happen with the nissan xerra SUV which was a recall in 2000 to 2004 models. The repair for this fuel sending unit cost approximately $600 dollar to repair and their is no grantee that it will not happen again or if its a upgrade.
I am having a problem with the gas gauge on my 2006 nissan pathfinder. It just started about 3 weeks ago. I have a constant "check engine light" on and it was checked out by the mechanic at a nissan dealership and he said it is a sensor problem with the gas gauge. I have not had it repaired yet because I feel that this is should be a recall issue for this vehicle. My vehicle is only 3 years old and has about 46,000 miles on it. I have done some research online and this seems to be a frequent complaint about 2005/2006 nissan pathfinders. This is a safely issue because it makes it nearly impossible to detect when the car is running out of gas. I have been trying to track it manually for the time being.
2006 nissan pathfinder. The gas gauge works intermittently. It has been this way for over a year. I've noticed multiple other complaints with the same problem I've read that there is a problem with the sending unit. There should be a recall.
Nissan pathfinder gas gauge doesn't work and service engine light stays on. The problem is pervasive and the dealers are charging approx $500 for repairs. Nissan has not issued a recall on this defect. Running out of gas on the highway is a safety concern and an injury or fatality will result if it has not already.
I have a 2006 nissan pathfinder. I stopped at the gas station to put gas and when I started the engine the fuel level was still reading empty and my dte was reading ----. Then my service engine light came on. Now the only way I can tell if I have gas or not is by estimating the mileage I have driven. My pathfinder has about 60k miles. I have read many similar complaints about the same problem.
I had 1/2 of a tank of gas and went to fill up. After filling up my gas tank, I turned on the car, at which point the needle did not register the full tank. It continued to register as empty(------) after driving a couple miles, the check engine light came on. After several days the gas did register in the tank. I went to auto zone and had computer tested I was told it was a fuel sending unit/sensor. I have over 60,000 miles on my vehicle and it is not covered under warranty for any problems. After returning home and doing research, I went online to x.nissanhelp.com after performing a search, I came across many others who have experienced the same problem. Apparently it has something to do with the fuel sending unit. A similar problem was found on the 2000-2004 xterra models and a recall was performed when the vehicle would stop after not getting any fuel, posing a great danger. It seems that something in the unit is faulty and will corrode over time. There is a general consensus that everyone who is having the problem is experiencing the same thing after having the vehicle for over 2 yrs and with around 39k-49k. If this problem existed in previous models, and it was recalled, the 2005-2007 xterras, frontiers, and pathfinders should get this fixed at no charge to the customer!! Why wait for accidents and possible deaths, especially since the problem lies in an integral part of the vehicle. Cost of repair ranges from $300-600.
2006 nissan pathfinder after filling up with gas--engine service soon light illuminated and fuel gauge does not read accurate level of fuel and has not worked since the initial incident 3 days ago.
The fuel sensor on pathfinders does not work and does not read the fuel level after fill up and causes the service engine soon light to come on. This is a huge problem and issue for many nissan pathfinder owners. We bought our car brand new 2 years ago and don't think we should have to pay over $600 to fix this, there should be a recall and immediate fix by nissan!!!
On several occasions over the past two weeks, my service engine light has appeared and my fuel gage was either stuck or not worry correctly during this period. I took the vehicle in to have the code read and the response was "fuel level sensor circuit high input". Upon further research on the internet, this appears to be a very common nissan consumers are experiencing and there's an actual service bulletin on this item (ntb07-069a). Again, based on the number of complaints I see on this item, it appears to be a manufacturer's defect and would like to recommend as a 'recall item'. *tr thank you, terrance baker
