2008 Nissan Pathfinder fuel system problems

Filed Jan 15, 2025 · Fuel system · MO

There was a recall concerning the fuel gauge not working correctly. The sensor in the tank needed replaced. Well my car had that recall fixed or so it says, but it is doing the same thing again. So are you gonna replace it again for no cost?

I bought the nissan pathfinder brand new off the lot in late 2007. It only has 45 thousand miles on it. I've never had any problems with this vehicle until now. About 2 weeks ago I thought someone was stealing gas out of my vehicle, but thought it was nearly impossible because it's kept behind a locked fence . Saturday july 13th I had to fill up because of a storm. When I gas finished fueling it showed that I had an empty tank. I knew that was wrong so I decided to give nissan a call at 1‑800‑647‑7261. I spoke to an agent and told him my problem, he gave me a case number and told me to call the nearest nissan dealership closest to me . I called the nissan dealership's service department and they told me that I would have to pay for any services I had done to my vehicle. . I don't agree . There are multiple people with the same vehicle as myself and I believe there should be a recall on this problem . If anyone can help me , please feel free to help. I'm on a fixed income and this was not any negligence on my part. I have a case number already on file with nissan, but the dealership doesn't want to honor it. [xxx]. Hel me wit the next step to get my vehicle fixed. Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving thursday, february 14th, 2019, my check engine light came on. I pulled over in a nearby parking lot as soon as I could. At this point, I noticed that my fuel gauge had dropped from 1/4 tank down to empty. I used an odb2 scanner to check my error codes, and found an error code p0463 (fuel tank level sensor - voltage high). I immediately proceeded to a gas station, refueled, and cleared the engine code to see if it would reappear. It has not since reappeared. After some research, I found that this is a known issue for 2008 nissan pathfinders, and that there is a recall associated with the issue. The federal safety agency campaign id is 10v075000. I called nissan's public number and a local dealership owned service center. Neither found any active recalls regarding my vehicle, and neither knew what a the federal safety agency campaign id number was. I asked to speak to the manager of the service center. I left a voice mail for them thursday afternoon, but have not heard back. Based on the symptoms my vehicle is experiencing, I believe my vehicle is likely suffering from the same issue as described in the aforementioned the federal safety agency campaign, and that my vehicle, and likely others, were missed in the recall.

The dashboard fuel guage does not reliably report the level of fuel. This issue LED to a recall for 2008 pathfinders in the past, but apparently not for my VIN. The issue occurs at various times, including when stationary or moving. Sometimes refilling the tank will give a full tank reading, some times it will not. It will also allow the tank to run down to empty without reflecting that on the guage. Often, but not always, the yellow service engine light will illuminate as a result.

The pressure relief valve (I think that's what it's called) had to be replaced. It cost me $350 but I didn't keep a receipt. An individual that had a shop did the repair but has since moved and I have no idea where. I was unable to put more than a few gallons of gas when pumping gas before it would cut off. I would wait a few minutes and pump a few more gallons and it would cut off again. I had it replaced last year but I don't remember the mileage.
