| Description of the problem | The fuel gauge is malfunctioning, i completely filled up the vehicle with gas started the engine and it still read empty. It took a couple of days to move up to showing full but now i have a check engine light. I researched this issue and many other nissan owners are experiencing or have experienced this problem with their vehicle around 50,000 miles. This is an issue nissan needs to take care of with so many people experiencing the same issue, it is obviously a defect in their manufacturing and is very pricey for the customer to fix! |
