 Description of the problemI want to file a complaint based on my recent experiences with nissan. I own a 2006 nissan pathfinder. My vehicle was manufactured in december of 2005. A few years ago, nissan issued a voluntary recall for the fuel sending unit on a number of their vehicles including the 2006 nissan pathfinder. However, the campaign only recalled fuel sending units on 2006 nissan pathfinders manufactured between jan and march of 2006. Nissan then extended the warranty for other 2006 nissan pathfinders that including my vehicle. However, the warranty extension only lasted about a year after it came out. During that extended warranty time, my nissan pathfinder's fuel sending unit was acting up (this is the device that tells your fuel gauge and trip computer how close you are to empty). However the nissan dealership could not replicate the fault so i was out of luck as the fuel gauge would work off and on. Over the last few years, the fuel gauge has continued to act up and read the wrong amount of fuel in the vehicle. Last week, the issue persisted long enough for me to get it to a dealer who confirmed that the issue was with the fuel sending unit. However, by this time, the warranty had lapsed and nissan has been adamant that they will not pay to replace the fuel sending unit because its not a safety issue. My wife and i both share the vehicle and take our two children in the car. I am becoming wary of the vehicle's gauge malfunctioning and am concerned about whether the gauge could read full and the car runs out of gas on the freeway and we get hit by a semi tractor trailer and could be fatally injured- the exact reason why nissan recalled the sending units on other nissans. However, nissan corporate is adamant that the fuel sending unit will not cause any safety concerns- even their website says so-http://www. Nissanassist. Com/web/fuel-sending-unit/index. Php? Menu=2.
