Problems start after I ended payments on my car; the surround sound got bad and I have to replaced it $500. Cost me. Takata recall I did called the dealer and told me my VIN number isn't in the recall so they said nothing to worry, then another situation came up about the fuel pump, I did called the dealer and they said my VIN number isn't in the recall either and I had pay $600. In may 9, 2016 first time I was driving my car and broke down in the middle of the intersection, also another time I was driving on the bridge and when I was driving the car was going down on the bridge broke down out of not where, was very scary, police and other people help push my car to a safety area. Both time was because I run out of gas cause the gear pump wasn't telling me I run out of gas. Next one was the radiator and trans service. They said radiator was crack need to replace I spent $800. Next problem p1774 said low coast brake-fastens solenoid valve function. All this time engine light came on and charged me $50. To reset light. Then next problem is the transmission now is 4 gear come with issues and is in the mechanic now,june 6, 2017 I need to replace it and charging me $3,200. But they still working own cause they don't know yet if doesn't work I will need to pay more. This is ridiculous cause this car only have 8 years and I keep maintaining my car since I got it, so disappointed and I shouldn't didn't pay for all this cause is a recall and my car is 2008 and all the problems my car had is in the recall just cause my VIN number isn't that isn't fear. Hope anybody understand my frustrations and find the solution of this problems. Pay me back what I being putting in to this car.
The vehicle fuel sensor shows that it's empty as soon as the vehicle has a quarter tank of gas left. Mileage does not show even though the vehicle has gas. This happens when they vehicle is turned on and in motion. I do see that nissan has a recall for this specific problem (the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v075000) but there are no recalls associated with my vehicle VIN #
When driving and you go to stop and move your foot from the gas to the brake when you push the brake the veh tries to accelerate and you have o always pay attention or could possibly run into the back of another veh. It also happens numerous times daily depending on how much you drive it.
A) the service light comes on for the evap system. Took to nissan and they initially said it wasn't anything then it turned into a cpu being bad (after 3 trips) now the light is on again and it's an evap code again for the charcoal vent system. I've looked it up and this is a known issue and was even recalled on the xterra. The issue being the location of the charcoal filter. B) the steering box vibrates or causes a severe steering wheel vibration
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 nissan pathfinder. While driving 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. In addition, the fuel gauge displayed an incorrect reading. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that a fuel sensor float arm needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, a couple of months after the repairs while driving 60 MPH, the brake warning light illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed and an abnormal noise emitted from the brake pedal as it depressed all the way to the floor, but failed to function. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that there was an intermittent brake failure and that the delta stroke sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who confirmed the failure and replaced the delta stroke sensor. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that an extended warranty campaign for the fuel system failure was available, but the vehicle exceeded the acceptable mileage. The failure mileage was 95,000.
2008 nissan pathfinder. Consumer writes in regards to never being notified about fuel gauge inaccuracy recall notice (10v‑075) until vehicle ran out of fuel. *smd the consumer stated his wife ran out of fuel, while driving on an eight lane freeway, due to the fuel gauge inaccuracy.

Fuel system, gauge not functioning. The fuel gauge randomly shows empty when not empty or even full, then shows random readings that do not accurately show fuel level. Just 2 days ago I showed 3/8 tank. Went to store then showed 5/8 after starting vehicle. Trying to manually track milage so I do not run out of gas since gauge is not working. Nissan contacted twice about recall/campaign# 10v075000. Was told my VIN is not included. I have researched the complaints on this website and out of 184, 43 are confirmed this issue not included in recall, additional 11 same complaint but unable to tell if included in recall. If accurate fuel reading was concern enough for recall 10v075000, how do an additional 43-54 complaints not cause additional vehicles to be included. This is 25% of all safety complaints on this vehicle on this web page. Please force nissan to address this obvious vehicle flaw and safety issue. I do have pictures, did not attach but will provide if requested. I have both email responses from nissian, will provide if requested.

Digital gas milage and gas gauge needle not reading how much gas is actually in the tank. Needle goes below e and gas light comes on even when I have a full tank. Digital gas milage goes to 0 or gives all dashes no matter how much gas I have. Or when I am low on gas the needle will read I have more than I do. This happens randomly while stationary, while driving on city street and highway. Fluctuates in the middle of a trip, etc.
On my 2008 nissan pathfinder, which is only 8 years old, I have repaired my transmission due to an atf contamination via the cooling system around 95,000 miles. I purchased the vehicle at 90,000 miles used. This affected my speed control and all related systems.the radiator was replaced also due to the contamination. This has affected my cooling and heating system and all related systems.this cost my extended warranty company around $2,900+ (glad I was smart enough to purchase this warranty), however it cost me my deductible of $200.00. On february 12, 2016 I dropped my nissan off for a follow-up repair to replace the entire timing chain assembly after going in for a simple alignment earlier (which was a waste of money because you have to purchase a camper kit in order for your alignment to be 100%, $249.00 out-of-pocket). This caused me to have to buy a brand new set of tires out-of-pocket which came with a free alignment as a special, otherwise I would've re-payed for another alignment. Headquarters nissan of columbus,ga never informed me of the timing chain issues with these suvs! This resulted in performance issues. Again my extended warranty will pay around $1,800 to nissan for the repairs and me a $200.00 deductible. I have run out of gas in the middle of traffic on the highway in atlanta,ga during rush hour before because my gas gauge or indicator or something doesn't read or is inaccurate. I also hear noise from the tires or something when I roll over speed bumps, accelerate or bank left or right with bad, hard steering. The cooling and heating system has not blown air at times and sometimes I have to depress the gas petal while idling to heat up air that has gone cold. When the A/C does this I turn off the A/C and let the windows down, pressing the gas petal does not work. Nissan says they can't find a problem with this system when diagnosing vehicle?!

My 2008 pathfinder's check engine light came on while my fuel gauge is showing empty when I would fill up constantly, the mileage on the vehicle was approx. 105,000. I was informed that it was my fuel level sensor that needed replaced, nissan north america informs me my VIN isn't covered in the federal safety agency reference #10v075000 recall of the fuel level sensor that began march 2010, I purchased my vehicle used after the recall was initiated. Due to the fuel level sensor needing replaced ($600), I was not able to pass my emissions test in co ($25), and am not able to register my vehicle ($200). So if I have to pay for my own repairs I will have to replace a part that nissan is aware has an issue, get a second emissions test and pay any late fees on top of my annual registration fee. I believe that if nissan is aware or this issue they should repair my vehicle at no cost to me and/or if a recall was initiated then there needs to be more explanation as to why my VIN is not included.

The fuel level sensor is failing, causing erratic or inaccurate fuel gauge readings. The check engine light also illuminates. Nissan has recalled 2006 - 2008 vehicles for this fuel gauge issue. Recall announced: march 03 2010 the federal safety agency reference: #10v075000 number affected: 80,689 summary: nissan is recalling certain model year 2006 and model year 2008 frontier, xterra and pathfinder vehicles. The molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. Consequence: this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash. This is a known defect to both nissan and the federal safety agency...and it should be repaired before there is a fatality in my family
While driving on the highway in the fast lane at 85 MPH the car lost power completely. Luckily there were no other cars in my vicinity. Coasted over 2 lanes to breakdown lane just barely over the line. Gas gage read 1/4 tank so figured I still had gas. Tried to restart several times but car acted like it was out of gas. Called aaa for a tow truck and asked to bring gas just in case. Car started right up after mechanic put gas in tank. Although this issue is a recall1 nissan will not repair for free. Say my VIN is not included in the recall and it will cost me $450. Recall summary:nissan is recalling certain model year 2006 and model year 2008 frontier, xterra and pathfinder vehicles. The molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty. Hazard:this could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.

After my wife had difficulty trying to unlock the driver door using the thumb button, she had to result in using the key fob... Then while driving to work she was about to get on the freeway when she noticed the fuel gauge was reading empty. She pulled into the nearest service station to fill up but was only allowed to put in 3 gallons. Then the gauge read full. I had filled it the day before. After work she needed to pick up friends at the airport and tried to use the rear AC but it would only blow hot air..... Now where to find out if these issues along with the air bags can be fixed... Such a hassle to deal with the dealer for items like these that should be warranty type fixes. What is a consumer to do?

After filling up the tank and getting back on the highway, I noticed my gas gauge was reading I had 1/4 tank and my tachometer was flashing dashes all the way across. I pulled off the highway and checked to see if my gas cap was on and it was. The vehicle was running fine so I continued on my way. Eventually, the gas gauge moved to the full position and my tachometer began to keep the miles to empty, but not accurately. Once I got home, I researched online and found a recall for my vehicle. Campaign id 10v075000. I've contacted nissan 4 different times and no one is willing to help me with this matter. My vehicle's gas gauge will not go below 1/4 tank. I've already run out of gas twice because I forgot to keep track. Running out of gas on us hwy 275 south in rush hour traffic is not fun. I was lucky that I didn't cause an accident. What do I need to do to have my vehicle fixed?
