NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

NISSAN HAS A WELL KNOWN FUEL GAUGE ISSUE DOES WHICH SHOWS THE TANK AS EMPTY EVEN WITH A FULL TANK. MY WIFE HAS TWICE RUN OUT OF GAS, ONCE IN A MAJOR INTERSECTION, CALLED ME CRYING. THANKFULLY A GOOD SAMARITAN CAME OVER AND PUSHED HER OUT OF INTERSECTION. MY 16 YR. DAUGHTER IS NOW DRIVING THIS CAR AND USES FREEWAY DAILY, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CAR STOPS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND GOD FORBID IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE. A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO THIS. IS NISSAN GOING TO ADMIT RESPONSIBILITY IF SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENED IN THIS SCENARIO? MY ISSUE IS THAT THIS IS NOW BEING RECOGNIZED BY NISSAN AND A RECALL IS BEING INITIATED. MANY 2005 MODELS EXCEPT THE PATHFINDER ARE GOING TO BE FIXED FREE. THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO FIX FROM 2006+ ON THE PATHFINDER. THERE ARE NUMEROUS BLOGS ON THE INTERNET THAT ILLUSTRATE THE 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. ARE WE SUPPOSE TO SPEND $600 TO FIX WHAT NISSAN ACKNOWLEDGES AS AN ISSUE AND IS FIXING ON MOST OF THEIR OTHER MODELS EXCEPT THE 2005 PATHFINDER. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. OUR PATHFINDER IS THE 3RD NISSAN WE HAVE OWNED. PREVIOUS MODELS WERE XTERRA AND TITAN TRUCK. *TR

FUEL GAUGE READS FULL PART OF THE TIME, EMPTY PART OF THE TIME AND ALL IN BETWEEN. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN THE TANK. NISSAN IS RECALL ING THE 2006 PATHFINDERS FOR THIS DEFECT, BUT ARE NOT RECALLING THE 2005 MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSANUSA AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICEL. THE DEALER DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL SENDING UNIT INSIDE MY GAS TANK. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V075000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: AUXILIARY TANK). THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE IDENTICAL FAILURE AS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL DEFECT. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

IN JANUARY 2010 ON 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER THE FUEL DISTANCE TO EMPTY READER BEGAN SHOWING INACCURATE READINGS (IE. WITH FULL TANK IT WOULD READ 0 MILES TO EMPTY, OR WITH 1/4 TANK LEFT IT WOULD READ AS THOUGH TANK WAS FULL). SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY LIGHT-CHECK SHOWED FOR FUEL SENSOR. THAN WITHOUT WARNING THE GAS GAUGE ITSELF BEGAN TO GIVE FALSE READINGS, SAME AS ABOVE. WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS LOST ALL POWER ON VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. REPAIR FACILITY STATES THAT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF GAS THOUGH GAUGE WAS REGISTERING MORE THAN 1/4 TANK LEFT. FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NISSAN VEHICLES, BUT NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECALL THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER SE. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH IT AND IT COULD OF BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE. IN JUNE '09 THE RADIATOR HAD A COOLING LINE THAT BROKE WHICH HAS BECOME A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. AND ANYTIME THAT A DRIVETRAIN IS IN ISSUE IT COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE. I REPLACED THE RADIATOR FOR $600 AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH VIOLENT STUTTERING AND ENGAGING IN AND OUT WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHICH COULD OF CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH NO HELP FROM NISSAN. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY SEVERAL HUNDRED CONSUMERS ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TOTAL I SPENT WAS $3197.09 WHICH SHOULD BE REIMBURSED BY NISSAN CORP FOR THIS PROBLEM IS WELL KNOWN BY THE YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPAIRED THE SENSOR AT HER EXPENSE ALTHOUGH SHE HAD OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR ONE MONTH.

NISSAN FAULTY GAS GAUGES-RECALLED AFTER MY MODEL. MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN BAD FOR THE PAST 2 YRS. AT LEAST (WENT BAD RIGHT AFTER WARRANTY WAS UP) NEED TO LOOK INTO MODELS BEFORE 2006 ALSO. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE IT WENT BAD. DEALERSHIP SAID $400 FOR PART, NOT INCLUDING SERVICE. DEALERSHIP SAID GAS GAUGE WILL EVENTUALLY JUST GO COMPLETELY OUT. HAVE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE. THAT WAS EVEN TRYING TO HAVE HALF A TANK OF GAS. *TR

2005 PATHFINDER SE- WITH 52K MILES VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED (70MPH) ON FREEWAY- ALL POWER CONTROLS FAILED PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED TO BE WITH A FAILURE OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR- REPORTS ACQUIRED INDICATE THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS UNIT ON 2005 AND NEWER MODEL YEAR PATHFINDERS- FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR FAILS AND GIVES INACCURATE READING TO DRIVER - WHEN TANK IS EMPTY SHOWS IT TO BE 1/2 FULL.

FUEL SENDING MODULE FAILURE IN 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER WITH APPROX 62,000 MILES. THIS CAUSES "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" TO COME ON AND CAUSES VEHICLE TO FAIL EMISSION TEST. FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT WORK ACCURATELY EITHER. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL PATHFINDERS OF THIS VINTAGE AND REQUIRES THE FUEL TANK TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE THE SENDING UNIT. I FEEL THIS PROBLEM IS WORTHY OF A RECALL SINCE IT IS SO WIDESPREAD. *TR

RE: 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER ABOUT 2, 5 YEARS AGO, MY FUEL GAUGE READ 1/2 FULL OR ALL EMPTY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. CHANGING OIL RESET LIGHT INITIALLY, BUT IT CAME BACK ON. SHORT TIME LATER CAR FAILED SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE OF GAUGE AND LIGHT. CAR MECHANIC REPLACED SENDING UNIT, FUEL PUMP AND FILTER. SAID PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO REPLACE SENDING UNIT. DEC/09 CAR FAILED TO START. GAUGE READ 1/2 FULL. MECHANIC SAID FUEL FILTER FAILED, BUT PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED SINCE FILTER IS INSIDE PUMP. JAN30,2010. AS I WRITE THIS MY TANK READS HALF FULL AND THE CAR WON'T START. IT IS DOING THE SAME THING IT DID THE LAST TIME. BEING STRANDED BECAUSE OF A FAILED FUEL PUMP/FILTER/ GAUGE/SENDING UNIT IS DANGEROUS. I CAN TRUST THAT A PART (THAT IS SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE) ISN'T GOING TO FAIL ME. I WOULD ADD OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, DESPITE APPROPRIATE SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE, (EVEN REPLACED TIRES) MY FUEL CONSUMPTION HAS BECOME VERY POOR. THE ISSUES ARE SOMEHOW CONNECTED. SEE ALSO BLOGS HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/NISSAN-PATHFINDER/TMVJFUGON9RD4EB8I ENTITLE "FUEL GAUGE PROBLEMS". EVIDENTLY, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WORLD-WIDE HAVING THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR

I AM GETTING OBDII CODES (P0463) AND "CHECK ENGINE" SIGN IS ON EVEN AFTER RESET. ONCE MY FUEL TANK IS LESS THAN 3/4 AND I REFILL IT AFTER IT WAS CLOSE TO BE EMPTY I AM GETTING "CHECK ENGINE" SIGN ON PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT IT IS RELATED TO A FUEL TANK LEVEL GAUGE. I ALSO KNOW THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME THAT EXPERIENCING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM BUT NISSAN DOESN'T COVER FAULTY PART REPLACEMENT FOR FREE. WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT! THANKS *TR

Fuel system, Gasoline, Dec 6, 2009
I HAD 1/4 OF A TANK OF GAS AND WENT TO FILL UP. AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK, I TURNED ON THE CAR, AT WHICH POINT THE NEEDLE DID NOT REGISTER THE FULL TANK. AFTER DRIVING A COUPLE MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FUEL SENDING UNIT/SENSOR AND THAT IT WAS NO LONGER COVERED AFTER 30K MILES. AFTER RETURNING HOME AND DOING RESEARCH, I WENT ONLINE TO X.NISSANHELP.COM AFTER PERFORMING A SEARCH, I CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. A SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS FOUND ON THE OTHER MODELS AND A RECALL WAS PERFORMED WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD STOP AFTER NOT GETTING ANY FUEL, POSING A GREAT DANGER. I HAVE READ THAT THE METAL IN THE UNIT IS FAULTY AND WILL CORRODE OVER TIME. THERE IS A GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 2 YRS AND WITH AROUND 39K-49K. IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTED IN PREVIOUS MODELS, AND IT WAS RECALLED, THE 2005-2007 XTERRAS, FRONTIERS, AND PATHFINDERS SHOULD GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER!! WHY WAIT FOR ACCIDENTS AND POSSIBLE DEATHS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PROBLEM LIES IN AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE VEHICLE. COST OF REPAIR RANGES FROM $300-600."*TR
