Description of the problem	I own a 2005 nissan pathfinder, and i am the original buyer. At approximately 92,000 miles my vehicle developed the fuel gauge failure where the gauge reads a 1/4 tank even if full or empty, and the dte indicator is just ----. I took it in with 93,855 miles in august 2010 for an extended warranty repair. This repair was declined for coverage (not a nissan warranty) and i paid $408. 65 to have it repaired at the nissan dealer. In december 2010, i received from nissan a letter relating this exact problem/failure and that all 2005 thru 2008 pathfinders were being issued a warranty extension of up to 6 years and 72,000 miles. From doing research, i understand nissan originally did this for just 2006 thru 2008 vehicles, but there was such an outcry from owners of 2005s that they were later included. In the nissan letter, it stated that if you had this fault and had it repaired at your expense, you could send in documentation for a refund. There was no mention of the 6 year or 72,000 mile limitation in the letter for prior repairs. I sent in my documentation. It makes no sense that a fault of the manufacturer does not cover all repairs, but it appears that those who bought the early vehicles with obviously more miles than the newer ones are being discriminated against since my refund was denied. I have read on your site that many others with 2005s are also being denied. Nissan should do what is right and pay for these repairs. It is a safety issue since one can run out of gas at an inopportune time, or even pump in gas and have it overflow due to the tank being full and the driver not knowing it. They could try to force in fuel due to a 1/4 tank indication, and while refueling, after putting in 3 gallons, the automatic pump cuts off the flow. The driver knows that 3 gallons did not fill a 1/4 full tank so they keep pulling the handle trying to fill the tank. They would then be rewarded by having fuel shoot out of the tank possibly on them , and possibly having it ignite.
