This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder. While adding fuel in the tank, the fuel would leak out before the tank was full. The contact stated that the failure occurred for the past two years every time the vehicle was fueled. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
The fuel gauge stopped working. I changed the fuel pump and the sending unit thinking this was the problem. I never received a warning that anything was wrong. I looked online for recalls and saw that there were recalls for this problem in the 2005 and older models of Pathfinders. I took my car to a Nissan dealer and was told the fuel gauge not working is a problem with this model Nissan. Learned that my fuel gauge wasn't working when my car stopped on the highway due to my car having run out of gas which could have caused me to have an accident. No warning. Nothing. If the fuel gauge not working is a problem with 2005 and older models of Nissan why wasn't there a recall for the 2004 if this is also an issue for the 2004 model" I took my car to a Nissan dealer regarding the fuel gauge and was told that the part is discontinued. How would I fix this if the part doesn't exists? if this is an issue in the 2004 Nissan, why not recall this part to fix the problem" this could have and can cause a serious accident.
My vehicle was mostly in the state of NY (salt belt state) from 2004 until 2015. (11 years) it's now in va. The undercarriage is rusted beyond a normal amount. The exhaust especially holes are in piping from the catalytic converter to the tailpipe. The care is leaking fuel from the metal filler tube to the gas tank! my local Nissan dealership refused to address these serious issues and inferior metal piping problems. I'm scared the vehicle will blow up.it's dangerous.
Engine stopped running while driving. Turned the tank was out of gas with fuel gauge showing right at quarter mark full. The gauge seem to show full when filled up but for the last three times it shows a quarter tank left while I am able to pump in over 18 gallons of fuel.
The fuel gauge read I had a quarter tank of gas, but I ran out. Upon searching the internet for issues such as this there are too many to list here. Google search for "2004 Pathfinder fuel level problem" there have been multiple issues with the design of the sensor and this is known by Nissan. Being disabled and running out of gas is not safe and should be addressed by Nissan to resolve this issue.

After a gas fill, the service engine light came on. The fuel indicator showed zero fuel even when the tank was full. Nissan dealer said the fuel sending unit needs to be replaced. Estimated repair cost $350! did some research online and found that the fuel sending unit has been bad on several of these vehicles. Nissan acknowledged that this is a known issue and there have been recalls but we are out of warranty by mileage (but not by vehicle age) and hence they would not cover the cost. This is a *safety* issue, regardless of the mileage that we think Nissan should fix at their cost. It's simply a defective component that was installed on thousands of vehicles. Nissan needs to be hold accountable!
