My check engine light would come on and off along with the gas gauge going crazy from empty to full. They replaced sensor after having to beg (cost would have been 700 dollars). This was just out of warranty. At about 50,000 miles my check engine light was on and they said they needed to replace a fuel sending sensor which cost me 300 dollars when it was in for that I needed both U joints replaced because the steering wheel and car wobbled horribly when hitting about 50 miles an hour. This wobble was horrible and thought it was the tires.. then had to replace two U joints ( second time since owning this 2006 Pathfinder).. I wish Nissan would step to the plate and recall the sensors and U joints.. its like everything happens just miles out of warranty. Probably last Nissan I will buy because of all the problems.

I purchased an after-market engine cold air intake for my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder. Approximately a month after I installed the intake a piece of metal from the intake broke of and got lodged in the throttle of my vehicle during a trip to los angeles, ca. The metal piece caused my car's engine to stall the die completely on the freeway within a matter of seconds. I was able to safely get my vehicle to the side of the road. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic in barstow, ca who removed the metal debris from the throttle. The mechanic informed me the metal had broken loose from inside the intake. When I removed the intake and examined the inside I found more pieces of metal ready to break free. The metal fragments were left hanging and cleaned up after the metal was cut and the O2 sensor fitting was welded on.

Service engine soon light popped on. Read owners manual. Advised to open and re-close gas cap. Did that. Light did not go out. December 10, gas gauge indicated empty. Dte light appeared ------. filled up. Gas gauge didn't move. Then, December 12, 2008 gas gauge suddenly rose to a little over half tank. Dte odometer display shows 78 miles to empty with over half tank. Looked up problem online. Hundreds of people with same problem in Pathfinders and X-terras. No warranty coverage. I have extended warranty. My 2006 Pathfinder has 71K on it. Nissan says $600 to repair. Seems like this is a product/manufacturing defect.

For all those reporting the swaying associated with the 1996 Nissan Pathfinder, I have a Nissan terrano which looks very much like the Pathfinder. I experienced similar swaying from the rear of my vehicle at speeds of about 40 mph. I have tried every mechanic I know, changed my shocks, and you name it...lately, I would hear a thump in the rear when I pulled off from stop position. The thump also happens when I run over a short speed bump. When I came home one evening, I went under the vehicle to conduct a visual inspection to see if I will find anything. Lo and behold, I found out that the bushings of the lower control arms are worn out to the extent that they are breaking up(the bushings) which allows metal to rub or hit another metal and that explains the thump that I will usually hear. In my opinion the worn out bushings also explain the swaying that seems to come from the rear because just figure it out, the bushings of the arms that link the rear axle to the body of the vehicle are weak, but this will not cause swaying at low speeds, and even if it did it will be un-noticeable. This swaying at high speeds is difficult to tell sometimes if it is coming from the rear or front. My advise is to change especially the bushings of the rear lower control arms, there should be four of them, two long ones and two short ones. It makes sense to me after all the vehicle is 10 years old! also make sure that none of those control arms are bent. Feel free to send me a quick email.
