Fuel level gauge shows incorrect readings. One moment it will show full, then empty, then quarter tank when it is actually nearing empty. The 2006 & 2008 models were recalled, not sure why the 2007 was not recalled also.

Had half tank of gas. Filled at station fuel gauge didn't show full tank. Tried to add gas just to see if it really wasn't full, but wouldn't take anymore. Then immediately "check engine" light came on.

(2007 pathfinder) the fuel sending unit failed and the fuel gauge LED me to believe I had gas when in fact I was empty. I ran out of gas in a busy intersection and I was almost hit by a large dump truck. My 5 year old and my 4 month old were in the 2007 pathfinder. Would if the dump truck driver was not paying attention, me and my children would definitely be dead.

The check engine light stays on the car. Also, the fuel delivery system has become a significant hazard in the car. The pathfinder's gasoline gauge indicates that it is half full, but suddenly the yellow light comes on to indicate the car is empty. This is a significant hazard while on the highway and there are times where a gas station may not be easily accessible.
The service engine light stays on and fuel gauge marks empty after I fill up vehicle with gas. 2007 nissan pathfinder
2007 nissan pathfinder. Fuel gauge inaccuracy and "service engine light" remains on. Dealers quoted us $500 problem not fixed.
My 2007 pathfinder has service engine soon light on from a failure with the fuel sending unit. You can see from this thread: http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/xterra/4151-fuel-gauge-problem-service-engine-soon-light.html it is a major problem in many vehicles. There should be a recall for this.
Fuel gauge level sending unit.
Fuel sending unit bad trouble code 0463. Filled gas tank at 1/4 to full. Started car gauge read a little above 1/4 tank of gas. Gauge went up slowly to about 1/2 then suddenly dropped to 0(empty).
Fuel level sending unit of nissan pathfinder stops working shortly after 25k miles and the gauge starts showing that the tank is suddenly empty leading to run out of fuel and stuck on the road which is very dangerous, especially for moms like me with children in the vehicle.
My 2007 nissan pathfinder's gas gauge started malfunctioning in february 2010. I actually was told I had 1/2 tank but realized it was empty when I ran out of gas with my two kids on the highway. I called nissan USA and they told me it had been recalled for certain years and months the car was made but my month wasn't covered. I cannot fork over 500 dollars to fix the gauge but I never know how much gas I have so obviously that is not safe.

The fuel gauge stopped reading correctly. After filling up the vehicle, the gauge reads empty. After driving for awhile, the fuel gauge may begin to register again, but not always. We have chosen not to repair yet due to cost.

I live in oklahoma and drive dirt roads daily. I purchased a 2007 nissan pathfinder in 2007 and have two canisters replaced. I was not told when I purchased the car that it should not be driven on dirt roads because the canister clogs. I was told by the dealer this is a design defect. My concern: I have 82,000 miles on the car, my extended warranty runs out at 100,000 miles. I will drive dirt roads for the rest of my life, I want some sort of guarantee that the next time this canister fails (which causes the service engine light to come on), that the cost of repair will not be on me. I don't feel this is fair. It seems to be an ongoing problem. Is there actually a design flaw and can I have some sort of guarantee that nissan will stand behind this. I don't think it would be fair to sell the car and pass this problem onto them. It is very costly to repair. Updated ivoq 10/04/10
