The fuel gauge stopped working. I changed the fuel pump and the sending unit thinking this was the problem. I never received a warning that anything was wrong. I looked online for recalls and saw that there were recalls for this problem in the 2005 and older models of Pathfinders. I took my car to a Nissan dealer and was told the fuel gauge not working is a problem with this model Nissan. Learned that my fuel gauge wasn't working when my car stopped on the highway due to my car having run out of gas which could have caused me to have an accident. No warning. Nothing. If the fuel gauge not working is a problem with 2005 and older models of Nissan why wasn't there a recall for the 2004 if this is also an issue for the 2004 model" I took my car to a Nissan dealer regarding the fuel gauge and was told that the part is discontinued. How would I fix this if the part doesn't exists? if this is an issue in the 2004 Nissan, why not recall this part to fix the problem" this could have and can cause a serious accident.

Takata recall for airbags on 2004 Nissan Pathfinder. I purchased my vehicle in November of 2017 and was not advised of the recall issued May 14, 2015 at time of purchase. In December of 2017 I was waiting to pull out onto long pond rd and as I started to pull out my airbags deployed causing me to swerve and slam my driver tail light side into a mound causing tail light to bust and dent in side panel at tail light. I have contacted Nissan dealership and no one will return my calls or assist me in this matter. All I want is my air bags replaced and the tail light fixed. There was no impact to set the air bags off as I was clearly stopped and had just pulled onto street. I feel that because of my young age no one wants to take this seriously. I was 20 when this happened and it is my first vehicle purchase ever.
