| Description of the problem | I bought a used 2007 nissan pathfinder in april 2010. Every single time i fill up the tank, since the very first time, immediately after getting the gas, the gas gauge reads as empty. Two to three days later it goes back to normal. The service engine soon light is constantly on. Nissan dealer says it's the sending unit and is $700 to fix. I haven't done it yet. I have seen many many similar complaints online. Some 2006 and 2008 nissans have been recalled for bad sending units. Time to include 2007's! It sometimes helps to know how much gas you have in your car! |
