| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 pathfinder le. The fuel gauge is showing in-accurate reading even if there is no gas in the tank it still reads with a quarter of the tank which could lead to the vehicle running out of gas and stalling the vehicle in the middle of the highway as i use this vehicle on long trips with my family. There was a service bulletin ntb07-069b august 12, 2009 for pathfinders including this model but the recall does not include the 2005 model which is odd that they will bypass the '05 and start the recall from model '06 till 08, where, there were a lot of fuel gauge complaints. This failure has been happening every fill up. And i have been filling up every 1/2 a tank. *dt |
