| Description of the problem | 2007 nissan pathfinder's gas gauge does not accurately register gas tank level. It shows empty when not empty and vice versa. The reading will go from an 1/2 full to empty in a blink of an eye.. It is extremely difficult to know how much gas is in the car. The service engine light stays on constantly. The dealer's service dept is charging $500 to fix the gas gauge. I believe it is a manufacturing defect and should be covered by nissan. |
