NHTSA Complaint #10749751 — 2006 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I TOOK MY PATHFINDER IN TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER FOR A CHECK UP--CHUGGING AT 35MPH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SPORADICALLY GOES ON AND OFF, GAS GAUGE STOPPED FUNCTIONING. NISSAN RAN THE DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD ME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BECAUSE I NEED TO PAY $500.00 TO REPLACE THE FUEL SENSOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PART THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY RECALLED. I DON'T KNOW IF NISSAN CONSIDERS THE FIX ONCE AND DONE BUT VEHICLES DRIVEN IN SALT AND SAND WINTER CONDITIONS WILL NEED EXTRA ATTENTION. THE TRANSMISSION TROUBLE IS SOMETHING NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO RECALL. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND TRANSMISSION--OVER $5000.00. IF NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS, WHY MUST I, A NOW UNHAPPY OWNER, PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS?
