About a month ago my wife went to fill up our 2006 Pathfinder and when she finished the gas gauge showed only half fill. She went to another gas station tried to fill it up but it only took another dollar. The next day I called up Nissan who said it was the sending unit in the gas tank and would be apx $600 to fix. I saw other logs of xterras having this problem and there was a recall. Our car was just past the 3 year warranty. If this were the only problem with this car I'd pay to get it fixed. But I've had another but problems with this vehicle. I've gone through 3 sets of rotors and I'm on my 3rd set of tires. The drivers side door lock broke and to be brought in twice, and the bose system has a cd stuck which I can't get out. This happened only after we owned it a few months.

Pathfinder 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

I got this vehicle from Nissan dealership on 3-11-2006. This dealership did fraud. First of all they told me that the vehicle had no miles on it but it did had miles on it and plenty of them. They gave me the wrong car. The car they showed me that I was going to received is not the car I received. When I contact the dealership they said it was too late. This dealership is a complete liar. I don't understand how it gets business in the first place. I want to cancel the purchase of this car.
