I was driving to work on a 30 degree morning after just dropping my son (diagnosed with sickle cell disease) to school. Had this been prior to dropping him to school he would have been sitting in the freezing vehicle for 30mins until my husband was able to get to us and this could have aggravated his condition. I was pressing on the gas pedal but the vehicle would not accelerate and I am showing a quarter tank of gas left in the vehicle so did not think that was the problem. I was able to pull to the side of the road as the vehicle stalled. I then contacted my husbands at work and he had to leave to come check on the vehicle and determined it may need gas because everything else looked ok and we had just completed a service with no mention of any issues with the vehicle. He drove me to the gas station in his vehicle where we purchased some gas came back poured it in the vehicle and it started up and was fine. I didn't think much of it until it happened again in the middle of rush hour traffic (am). I then decided to check for any recalls and found there was a recall for the same issue 2006 Nissan Pathfinder fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxiliary tank NHTSA campaign #10V075000 we then addressed this with Nissan and they advised that although it is the same exact issue, my VIN number was not included in the recall so correcting this issue is at my expense. This should not be at my expense especially since there is a known identical issue with the part.

Known issue with fuel system (NHTSA id # 10V075000) Nissan acknowledges problems but put mileage limit on dealer paid repair. (approximately 1300 miles over) apparently defective manufacture issues have time limits regardless of safety issue associated with this. Intermittent problems caused delays in identifying this issue. This is a major safety issue that should not have been timetabled, inaccurate and then failure of the fuel gauge. This is a failure of both Nissan and the NHTSA to allow mileage to be the determining factor in limiting our safety.

I am writing about my recent experience with Nissan regarding a recall on my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder, which I purchased in may of 2008 as a pre-owned vehicle. The recall with the NHTSA campaign id number of 10V075000 involves a flaw with the fuel sending unit. I never received a notice from Nissan regarding this recall, which Nissan states is an extended warranty. I noticed that there was a problem with the fuel gauge sometime ago.three weeks ago I was doing research online to try and find a solution to the problem.that is when I discovered the recall. I immediately contacted orr Nissan in bossier city 318-752-3000, since that is the dealer that I purchased the Pathfinder from. I spoke to mike in the service department who told me that I would have to pay to have the problem fixed, because the mileage was over 72,000 miles and that it would cost me around $600 had I known about the recall, it would have been within the mileage specified when I contacted them. I took the next step and called Nissan usa at 1-800-647-7261 and spoke to [xxx] at ext#[xxx]. [xxx] told me that the reason I was never notified was due to an error on Nissan's part, since they never entered my information into their computer system designating me as the new owner of the vehicle. So, the notice was sent out to the prior owners whom live in another state. At that point she opened a case for me with the case #[xxx]. I was contacted by [xxx] from 1-800-343-6913 ext#[xxx], who told me that they were not going to honor the recall and make the repair, because I did not have my Pathfinder serviced at Nissan. He then said that I would have to pay for it myself. Well, I have taken it in on numerous occasions for an oil change and regular maintenance, they did not spot it on either occasion. But, even if I had never taken it to them for maintenance, I should not be punished for servicing my own vehicle.

National headquarters consumers affairs department: 10/10/10 in the past few months beginning May 2010 have been attempting to communicate with the Nissan rep. For the northern region. I was recently informed by rep in Sept 2010 that Nissan refused my request for assistance in replacing the catalytic converter in my 2006 Nissan Pathfinder that currently, as of Sept 24, 2010 has 86,000 miles. You see back in April 14, 2010 I was informed by nalley Nissan of Decatur ga. That I needed to have the catalytic converter replaced on my 2006 Pathfinder, and that they could do the job for $1,200 -$1,500 at the time my vehicle had approximately 80,000 miles or less yet when I had work done at nalley Nissan on April 14, 2010 the mileage was documented as by nalley Nissan as being 125,000 in an attempt as not to repair my vehicle under the manufactures warranty free of cost. On May 24, 2010 I had a second opinion done as well as some repair work done and at this time 1 month later my car read 81,254 miles reading on the odometer knowing all of this had transpired the Nissan rep informed me that Nissan would not replace or assist in getting this matter taken care of. Is it common that the converter should have to be replaced in a car so new. As well as the records being falsified so my vehicle would not qualify for replacement of the converter. It is virtually impossible to have had 125,000 miles on 4/15/10, and 81,254 miles on 5/24/10 not to mention that as of Sept 24, 2010 my reading is 86,000 miles. Also, I have been informed that a code for the gas sensor is being displayed, the fuel reading says empty yet I have just put $45 worth of gas in the tank also these parts would not be kept in stock if not for frequent replacement of said parts. I have copies of both receipts showing this to be a fact. Vehicle id # awaiting your response updated IVOQ 11/19/10
