| Description of the problem | My fuel gauge registered only 1/2 of the last quarter so i completely filled up. When i started the car up the fuel gauge now read totally empty, with the yellow empty light on. I knew it was full so i reset the odometer to track mileage to estimate fuel content. After about two driving cycles the gauge eventually made it to the full mark and seemed to come down normally. This has happened now three more times. I understand there has been a recall, but my vehicle is outside the time (sept 2013) and distance (72000) miles allowed for the recall. It's now may 2014, with 76000 miles. The dealer, and the nissan 800 number just blew me off as being outside the recall warranty limits. One of the times the gauge hung up at the last quarter tank, you could run out of fuel in traffic or an intersection. I feel it's serious enough to rate as a safety issue. |
