I have not had this 2007 pathfinder a year yet. I told the man that sold me the car that I was having this fuel issue where, the gauge just drops down and you think you are out of gas. He told me to just wait until my warranty kick in. Low and behold we brought it back and they said the warranty did not cover it. There are nissan that have been recall for this issue. Baker nissan knew what the problem was and sold me the car without servicing it properly like they promise me. Now the light is on cause the problem is still there. Why do company do customer like that it is such a shame to live in such a greedy world where people care only for themselves. I hope that the nissan company is not this way because peoples lives are at stake driving unsafe vehicles because you don't choose for one(1) day to eat a can of bean. I'm very upset that they railroaded me.
2007 Nissan Pathfinder fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 119, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When I full my vehicle with gas the gage inside still say empty. Sometimes it moves, but very misleading. Because of what's happening with fuel gage, now my service engine light is on.
In 2010, nissan recalled many 2006 and 2008 nissan pathfinders (10v‑075) for a fuel gauge inaccuracy issue, where the gauge would "show that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is actually empty." oddly, nissan then sent out an ntb (ntb07-069d) later in 2010 to remedy the same issue on many more nissan models, including 2005-2008 pathfinders. Why this defect initially deserved a recall and then only a less noticeable ntb is unclear. Our own 2007 pathfinder was apparently was not included in the recall, but it has developed exactly the same fuel sensor problem. This suggests that nissan failed to fully recall all models affected by the fuel sensor defect, and the subsequent ntb (the warranty for which has already passed) provided no protection for the problem when it developed. I do not understand why nissan would recall only a few models affected by this defect and ignore the fact that the defect was present in many more models. I also don't understand why the federal safety agency would allow such a partial recall. Why would a recall only apply to some of the affected vehicles?
Vehicle lost power, will not transmit power to the wheels, appears to be a highly complaint among all owners. Transmission has failed in a heavy traffic area. Fuel level sender is no longer working.
Tamara inflators , fuel gauge registers empty when tank is filled and will not detect the correct amount of fuel until half of the tank is empty. This happens every time the tank is filled.
Check engine light came on, dte reads --- and fuel gage seems to be inaccurate. Issue presented itself at 99,900 miles. Code p0463 is thrown. This issue is widely documented across forums and the internet, yet nissan only covers this until year 2013 and/or 72k miles, whichever comes first. This widespread issue should be covered for life of vehicle.
Car gas gage is stuck on empty, even though there is a full tank of gas. Check engine light is on. Nissan says I need a new fuel level sending unit.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that the fuel gauge was fractured and the check engine light illuminated. The contact mentioned that when the vehicle was refueled, the fuel warning light remained illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle overheated and the anti-freeze had mixed with the transmission fluid causing it to leak onto the ground. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.
I bought the vehicle a year ago at 79,000 miles. In january of 2015, I hit the 100,000 mile mark and almost immediately started having transmission problems. Loud and jerky shifting and smelling foul in the air conditioner. Nissan dealership said that there was an issue and since I was out of warranty, (100,000 miles) that they weren't liable. He said I could drive it because it shouldn't break down for another few thousand miles. So I just parked it. I would only drive it if I absolutely had no other choice. Friday, may 15 2015 I was coming home from a doctors appointment and the vehicle completely broke down. The transmission went out and I was in the middle of a busy road with my 4 year old in the car with me. At 40 MPH, the RPM was at almost 5,000. I pulled over to call my husband and when we put it in reverse to back out of the parking space, it wouldn't go into reverse. I had to tow it home and it's completely broken down. I don't have 4,000 to spend on a transmission and radiator.
I have a 2007 nissan pathfinder that started making loud rumbling noises while driving. We replaced the radiator after the car over heated and a milky substance leaked. We've had the transmission flushed twice. We were told by a mechanic that the radiator liquid mixed into the transmission. I'm very disappointing to find that there are so many others with the same issue and that nissan is doing nothing to help.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. Every time the fuel gauge read below half a tank, the vehicle would stall. The vehicle would restart and resume normal operation once the fuel tank was filled. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Gas gauge displays incorrectly and has a related check engine light. The gauge sometimes seems to work and then precipitously drops to empty even though tank is nearly full. This additionally seems to cause a check engine light to display, and when checked, shows a p0463 code (fuel level sensor circuit high input). The car is nearly undrivable due to fear of running out of fuel or worse such as a fuel leak or electrical short. The "distance to empty" display on the dash also no longer works as a backup.
Heavy vibration while shifting heavy vibration while accelerating shuddering noises I am fearful that my car will die while I am driving down the street.
I currently have a 2007 nissan pathfinder and at the end of october it started acting like it was going to stall a few times, then after a few times of that my check engine light came on so I took it to get evaluated and it comes up that it has a faulty fuel level sensor. I haven't gotten it fixed as of yet because I am a single mother of 4 and the cost isn't cheap. I have had no real issues with my truck other than this and after researching today I am seeing more and more complaints of the same thing but I don't see where there is a real recall for this. But it should be covered with all of the complaints that are in about this. I don't wish to be stranded somewhere with my children in this cold weather. For such an expensive vehicle you'd think something as such would be covered with so many going bad so needless to say I am not happy at the moment.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that the service engine sensor illuminated and the fuel gauge was not reading the fuel levels properly. The vehicle was repaired by an authorized dealer who replaced the fuel sending unit. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
Transmission failure driving under normal conditions on interstate.
First the fuel sensor went out. Once I got that fixed (640.00) the fuel tank wouldn't fill up and the gauges were off. Then fluid leaked into the radiator and I had to replace the radiator (1,000.00). Then I had to flush it twice. Then the car overheated because the thermostat was gone. $250.00. Now the car won't start and I'm being told it's the ignition gone bad. All of this has happen over three months. I will never buy another nissan again. This was my third nissan and last!!!!!!! Where are the recalls if the same problems are occurring.
Tl* the contact owns 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated the fuel gauge failed to properly measure the fuel levels in the vehicle. The contact stated that when the tank was full, it would indicate that it was empty and when the tank was empty it indicated that it was full. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not associated to any recalls. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000.
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 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 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. 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. 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."
Radiator fluid mixed with my transmission fluid, making the car undriveable. At 65 MPH the vehicle began to slow as the RPM's were increasing. The vehicle then slowed to only 40mph, and we barely got the car off the hwy. Then, eventhough in drive, the vehicle would not move; like it was put in neutral. Looked up issue online, and it is another known nissan recall; but they limit the amount of miles that you can have to receive any reimbursement. Basically, I will get no relief for this known defect. I did get a recall notice but my vehicle was having no issues at that time, and now at 18 months later my vehicle is toast. I will never buy a nissan again.
Fuel gauge was experiencing intermittent problems while still under warranty, to where when I filled it the fuel gauge would drop to zero/empty. I took it into the nissan dealer (sandy sandsing in pensacola, fl) and they told me the issue/recall was limited to the altima and the xterra only and not my pathfinder. At 38000 miles the fuel gauge issue was constant, but it was now out of warranty. Finally, nissan issued a recall and I was unable to take advantage of the replacement because my mileage was over their limit. I am not asking to have this sensor replaced just for the fun of it, it is inoperable. Nissan should have to pay me for the poor gas mileage I get from having to constantly drive with a full fuel tank; because the gas gauge was unreliable. I will never buy a nissan again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that when the fuel tank was filled, the fuel gauge would provide an erroneous empty reading. A local mechanic performed a diagnostic which located the failure at the fuel sending unit. The manufacturer advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 100,000.
Radiator transmission cooler failure allowed cross contamination between transmission fluid and antifreeze.the resulting lack of lubrication and electrical conductivity of antifreeze caused electrical and mechanical transmission failure.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for inspection and they noticed that the fuel sensor was faulty. There was a voluntary recall related to the defect issued by the manufacturer. The recall pertained to the fuel senor. The vehicle exceeded the 70,000 mileage mentioned in the recall and was ineligible for the free repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
I request that the dot the federal safety agency investigate manufacturer defects in 2007 nissan pathfinders cooling system and transmission as unexpected failure relates to driver safety. My 2007 pathfinder with 90,000 miles caused a major collision with a deer as the transmission began to fail. Driving home, at around 40mph, up a hill (engine under load @ 2,200-2,500 RPM) the whole car began suddenly to "shudder"- similar to the feeling/ sound of riding over highway rumble strips. This resulted in a loss of control over the speed of the vehicle and a noticeable distraction leaving me unprepared as a large buck ran out from the tree line attempting to cross the road- the buck did not make it across. As I have found in my research afterwards, there is a widely known manufacturer defect in which engine coolant mixes with transmission fluid. The resulting "goop" shreds the internal parts of the transmission rendering it (along with the radiator and components) completely useless. These vehicles are unsafe for the roadways as this problem occurs suddenly and unexpectedly without warning. I consider myself lucky for being alive- now, but since nissan nor any other organization is willing to recall or replace this vehicle/ affected parts, I am stuck, forced to drive on the road being a hazard to others and myself.
2007 nissan pathfinder, the fuel sending unit is the problem (error code po463), after fueling up the gas gauge level dropped, fuel light came on and check engine light. Nissan assist refuses to cover the problem stating the car is out of warranty and the campaign is over. I was never told about a campaign or experienced this problem until now. With so many vehicles affected and the danger of no gas level reading is a serious safety hazard. Nissan surely will never see my business for any future purchase of a vehicle. It sure is nice to know how nissan refuses to acknowledge a legitimate problem regarding the fuel sending unit an provided me no explanation other than it's out of warranty period. Read all the other complaints about the same problem. What's next the transmission, with all the complaints I bet I'm heading their too.
We have a 2007 nissan pathfinder with approximately 58,000 miles. My wife and 1 week old son were out and the car unexpectedly ran out of gas, even though the gauge showed half-full. Thankfully, I was able to get to them quickly and pick them up. After doing some research there are 100,000s of 2006-2008 pathfinders and xterras with a very well known and documented problem with the fuel level sensor. I called nissan and apparently there was an extended warranty on this part that expired jan 31, 2013 or 72,000 which ever is first. My car has 58k miles and they are refusing to cover the repair. There are two big issues here - 1. This is a serious safety concern and 2. If they know this is a problem why would they not notify owners to have the part fixed or formally issue a recall. Nissan has lost my business forever...
The service engine light came on. The code is p0463, fuel level sensor circuit high input. I went today 5/25/13 to get a ma inspection sticker. The vehicle failed due to this code.
Gas gauge does not reflect correct amount of fuel, no matter what the level. I have been re-setting trip mileage after fill-ups to have an approximate knowledge of fuel tank level. I am disabled and my vehicle ran out of gas yesterday.
The fuel gauge stopped working over a year and a half ago. When we contacted the dealer they never told us about the extended warranty. They quoted a price that we, a military family could not afford,and that was it. Then last year, a shuddering began. We took it to the dealer and spent almost $800. They flushed the transmission, but the shuddering only got worse. When I took the car in they informed me that the radiator fluid leaked into the transmission and now both need to be replaced. I called nissan and they basically said that its my problem!! I have been in tears since. My husband is in afghanistan fighting for his country. He worked hard and paid the car off 2 months ago and now this. He is so worried about us being stranded when his focus should be on what's happening there. We don't have $8000 to spend on a car that we just paid off and that should be in top form.
