2007 Nissan Pathfinder fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 119, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Filled up the gas tank, then it stays on empty & service engine light comes on. After a few choice words to the truck, I now have figured out it must be a defect in materials & urge you to look into this issue.
The fuel sending unit will give false readings or no reading at all. This results in the vehicle running out of gas in traffic. The digital display will not read distance to empty.
2007 nissan pathfinder. Consumer states problem with fuel gauge *tgw the consumer stated he had no way of knowing when the vehicle needed gas.
My 2007 nissan pathfinder le was purchased brand new from the local nissan dealership here in little rock, ar. The vehicle currently has 49,000 miles on it. Recently, I've noticed that my fuel gauge is not reading accurately. One time, the gauge indicated that I had some fuel remaining in the tank, yet I ran out of gas and had to call for assistance. More noticeably, I will fill my tank up completely to where it won't accept gasoline. Then, I'll start my engine and the gauge will read 1/4 of tank full instead of full. More recently, the service engine soon light has lit up on my dashboard and stays on constantly. I've been online reading about the prevalence of this exact same situation under practically the exact same conditions. I called the dealer, who said it was not under warranty (because of mileage) or recall. Repairing the matter will in the neighborhood of $500-600. I also called nissan customer service directly, who confirmed that it was not under recall (though it clearly should be). They suggested that I take it to the dealer for diagnosis (at my expense) and to call them back because they might then look at the matter to determine if any action is necessary on their part. Either way - I front the $$$ for the repair. All I can say is that it's amazing that so many people are experiencing this same problem and that recalls have been done for other nissan vehicles with similar problems, yet nothing has been done in this case. Why is my government not at work for me on this one? Is there not potentially a safety issue involved with me and my children driving home in the evening/at dark with the assumption of gas in our pathfinder tank to get us there and being stranded otherwise???? This is my very first and certainly my last nissan - period.
The fuel gauge stopped working a while ago, and the service engine light came on and stayed on. The gauge would show 1/4 tank fuel after filling the tank up, then work normal, then drop to empty, even though the tank was at least 1/2 full. I would keep track of how many miles I drove and fill up the tank every 300 miles. That's how I knew it was time to get gas again... Today I found out that problem is not only a nuisance for me, but it is also connected to our state emission inspection. When I had the inspection done today, id did not pass the "on-board diagnostic (obdii) test, which is one of the state requirements. Resulting failure code for the obdii test was p0463-fuel level sensor "a" circuit high. My understanding is this very same/similar defect affected many of 2006 and 2008 pathfinders, and resulted in a recall of those vehicles. Based on the many complains on this site, it is evident it affects many 2007 pathfinders as well. Since it does affect emission requirements, please further investigate so the problem can be fixed.
I own a 2007 nissan pathfinder with a faulty fuel gauge. There is a recall, but my vehicle is not covered due to the limited production range of the recall. I feel nissan should honor the recall on all vehicles with this problem as it's clear they have a problem with their fuel gauge. My only option is to spend over $400 out of pocket and maybe they will have a secondary recall that will refund my money. This is not acceptable and this is a safety issue as running out of gas puts not only the persons in the vehicle at risk but other drivers as well depending on where the vehicle runs out of gas.
Tl* the contact owns 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that after he refueled the vehicle, the fuel level indicator displayed that the fuel tank was only one fourth full. The service engine soon warning light was also illuminated and the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The contact was advised that the fuel sensor would need replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and he was informed his vehicle was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v075000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: auxillary tank). The failure continued to recur intermittently. The failure mileage was 60,100 and the current mileage was 60,500.
At approx 56,000 miles the gas gauge on my 2007 nissan pathfinder quit working and the check engine light came on . It is a sensor in the fuel system I was told. This could cause the vehicle to run out of fuel in traffic which could result in an accident.
2007 nissan pathfinder's gas gauge does not accurately register gas tank level. It shows empty when not empty and vice versa. The reading will go from an 1/2 full to empty in a blink of an eye.. It is extremely difficult to know how much gas is in the car. The service engine light stays on constantly. The dealer's service dept is charging $500 to fix the gas gauge. I believe it is a manufacturing defect and should be covered by nissan.
Code 0463 fuel level sensor found on 2007 nissan pathfinder. Have researched the issue and found numerous complaints of nissan vehicle owners having the exact same issue from mileage ranges 40,000 - 70,000. When you fill up the fuel tank, the gas gauge goes to empty and doesn't work, thus it's impossible to determine the amount of gas at all times in your vehicle.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that the fuel gauge would read inaccurate fuel levels and would display that the fuel tank was full when there was no fuel in the vehicle. The dealer stated that the fuel sensor failed and would nee to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 56,000.
2007 nissan pathfinder 68,000 miles fuel gauge reads empty when full and it only works periodically. The car ran out of gas with my wife the other night because of it. Has not been fixed yet. Seems as if we are not the only ones who are having this problem.
2007 nissan pathfinder has a recall on their fuel sending unit but only on certain VIN numbers. They truly have a problem with their fuel sending unit why don't they cover all bad fuel sending units? This is a safety problem that nissan should take care of as soon as possible! My 2007 pathfinder has this problem but is not covered by their recall - I believe nissan has a problem!
I bought a used 2007 nissan pathfinder in april 2010. Every single time I fill up the tank, since the very first time, immediately after getting the gas, the gas gauge reads as empty. Two to three days later it goes back to normal. The service engine soon light is constantly on. Nissan dealer says it's the sending unit and is $700 to fix. I haven't done it yet. I have seen many many similar complaints online. Some 2006 and 2008 nissans have been recalled for bad sending units. Time to include 2007's! It sometimes helps to know how much gas you have in your car!
The contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The fuel gauge failed when the vehicle was at 38,000 miles. The gauge read empty at all times the checked engine light remained illuminated. The contact had to reset the gauge chip each time the gas tank was filled; therefore he was able to estimate when the fuel was at half tank. The manufacturer advised his VIN wasn't included recall 10v074000 fuel system, other: storage: fuel gauge system, but he should take the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact will service the vehicle himself. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 42,000. Li
I have a 2007 nissan pathfinder that we have kept in excellent condition and have had no complaints up until now. I filled up my car at the gas station and put in $70 and when I started the car the engine light came on and my gas gauge reading was a quarter tank! I used google and found it that this is a very common complaint. The price to fix this is approximately $450 at the dealer! If it's a common problem and there have been recalls in earlier models, it should be covered by nissan! Not having a fuel gauge work properly is a safety issue. Keeping a log book of miles is not an option!
Fuel sensor.

2007 nissan pathfinder se - fuel gauge not registering full tank, service light on, fuel sending unit malfunctioning causing to stall while driving on highway.
2007 nissan pathfinder has the same problem as the 2006 and 2008 pathfinder the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v‑075 we had to replace this and wonder why 2007 model year is not included since the same issue is occurring.
When you fuel up the fuel gauge drops to empty. It will later go to full put the engine service light comes on. To get the light to go off you have to have someone clear the code or disconnect the battery cable. I found a large number of people who have had the same problems with their nissan vehicles.

Fuel gauge/ destination until empty total/ check engine soon light.
Tl*-the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact observed while driving approximately 80 MPH, the fuel gauge displayed a reading which indicated fuel was consumed in the fuel tank.

The service engine light appeared at about 50k miles. We determined it was a faulty fuel sensor. Nissan insisted on us paying for a diagnosis at their service center when we already knew what was wrong, then they charged me to have it installed. This was followed by a recall on 2007 pathfinders being recalled for fuel sensor but mine is excluded.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 nissan pathfinder. The contact stated that when he filled the fuel tank, the fuel gauge would indicate that the tank was still empty.
