| Description of the problem | I filled my gas tank when it was at 1/2 full for a trip out of town. I got about 1 mile from the gas station and my ses light came on and i noticed my fuel gauge still read 1/2. I pulled over because i thought i would check my gas cap to see if that was what made the light come on. It took approximately 30 minutes for the gas gauge to finally reach full with my light still on. The light remained on until my gas went back down to 1/2 tank. I filled my tank again tonight (12-1-09) because it was at 1/4 of a tank left. Again, my gauge still read the same as before i filled the tank and i am assuming the light will come back on when i drive it again. I have researched this problem on the internet and it is a recurring problem that is left for the vehicle owner to pay for even though it is clearly a manufacture problem. Many owners, including myself, will not buy another nissan vehicle. |
