NHTSA Complaint #10339232 — 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER

RECENTLY THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2006 AND 2008 NISSAN FRONTIER, XTERRA, AND PATHFINDERS ABOUT HOW THE MOLDED FUEL TANK SHELLS CAN DEFORM, CAUSING THE FUEL SENDER FLOAT ARM TO CONTACT AN EMBOSSMENT MOLDED INTO THE TANK SHELL CAUSING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE TO SHOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY ONE QUARTER TANK WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO NUMBER TIMES EXCEPT I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER, WHICH HAS THE SAME IDENTICAL PART IN THE 2006. THIS HAPPENS TO ME EVERYTIME WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE REACHES A LITTLE BELOW THE HALF WAY MARK. IT READS IT HAS ABOUT 100 SOME OFF MILES UNTIL EMPTY. WHEN I GET UP FOR WORK IN THE MORNING THE AND START THE VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE GOES BELOW EMPTY AND THE FUEL GAUGE LITES UP. I FEEL SINCE THE 2006 AND 2008 HAS BEEN RECALLED AND ITS HAPPENING TO MY 2005 MODEL ALSO, THAT IT NEEDS TO BE PUT ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR
