| Description of the problem | 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. |
