| Description of the problem | Fuel sending unit ..... Tank reads 1/4 to 1/3 to empty on panel and runs out of gas .... While driving gauge fluctuates to full half and none after filing up and continues to do so no matter how much fuel ...... Digital reading says 0 to 30 to 120 to 300 miles after filling up ... Check engine light is on giving a error code for fuel sender.... There was a recall on the 2006 nissan pathfinder for this issue but nissan states that my vehicle does not fall in the recall ...... Vehicle was manu 05/06... And has the same issue as the recall for 80,000 other nissan vehicles made the same year... Nissan wants me to pay 98. 00 for a diagnostic when i've had one done by a auto shop and the code matches the fuel sending unit.... Nissan states they are unsure if they will cover the fuel sender or assist in repairdue to the fact my 06 pathfinder wasn't included in the recall. |
