Fuel gauge shows empty and low fuel light comes when there is ample fuel in the tank. I can disconnect the battery for a moment, reconnect and it works fine for a while, then it happens all over again.

Fuel level is shown as empty even after filling, and 'check engine' light is on. Occasionally, the fuel gage will suddenly be correct, then several miles later show empty. Mechanic confirmed problem code to be fuel level sensor. Nissan says this is not covered, estimates to repair ~$500

Fuel light turn on/off when more than 1/2 tank of gas and changes from having over 80 miles distance to empty to zero (0) when you still have 1/4 of tank available. I went to dealer and repair since this was on warranty until 72,000 miles.

RookieFuel sensor failed at 45000 miles. Did not get the 72000 mile extension until I had 83000 on it. Guess I will have to live with it.

My Nissan Pathfinder would not even pass inspection because of this problem which causes the check engine light to come on. Nissan has really disappointed me with their failure to address this problem. Repairs would cause in excess of $700. I had a Hyundai with 150,000 miles that perform better than this crap. I HAVE HAD IT WITH NISSAN. I AM NEVER GOING TO OWN ANOTHER ONE, EVEN FOR FREE.
