| Description of the problem | With just 64,585 miles on my 2005 pathfinder le i started to experience the check engine light and a sometimes dis-functional gas gauge. While taking the vehicle in for the wiring harness recall, the local dealership checked the code and determined the problem was with the fuel sending unit assembly---estimated part cost of $420. 00! Since the vehicle was over 60,000 miles the part was not covered under warranty. I was not experiencing any performance problems, but because of the code, the vehicle would not pass the state required emissions test until the unit was replaced. Less than 2 years old and already had to replace the fuel pump assembly. *jb |
