| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Fuel system, gauge not functioning. The fuel gauge randomly shows empty when not empty or even full, then shows random readings that do not accurately show fuel level. Just 2 days ago i showed 3/8 tank. Went to store then showed 5/8 after starting vehicle. Trying to manually track milage so i do not run out of gas since gauge is not working. Nissan contacted twice about recall/campaign# 10v075000. Was told my vin is not included. I have researched the complaints on this website and out of 184, 43 are confirmed this issue not included in recall, additional 11 same complaint but unable to tell if included in recall. If accurate fuel reading was concern enough for recall 10v075000, how do an additional 43-54 complaints not cause additional vehicles to be included. This is 25% of all safety complaints on this vehicle on this web page. Please force nissan to address this obvious vehicle flaw and safety issue. I do have pictures, did not attach but will provide if requested. I have both email responses from nissian, will provide if requested. |
