| Description of the problem | My check engine light would come on and off along with the gas gauge going crazy from empty to full. They replaced sensor after having to beg (cost would have been 700 dollars). This was just out of warranty. At about 50,000 miles my check engine light was on and they said they needed to replace a fuel sending sensor which cost me 300 dollars when it was in for that i needed both u joints replaced because the steering wheel and car wobbled horribly when hitting about 50 miles an hour. This wobble was horrible and thought it was the tires.. Then had to replace two u joints ( second time since owning this 2006 pathfinder).. I wish nissan would step to the plate and recall the sensors and u joints.. Its like everything happens just miles out of warranty. Probably last nissan i will buy because of all the problems. |
