Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle fuel gauge said 1/4 of a tank as I was driving the car suddenly shut off on a busy road making it very dangerous. I had the car towed home and as I was trying to diagnose the problem I added gas to the tank and the car started. Obviously the problem is the fuel sending unit.”
NHTSA complaint #11384267, filed 2020-12, 93,000 miles“The gas reading is always messed up since I bought the car, it's left me stranded my last 350z also did this I won't shop Nissan with these issues if I'm forced to pay for this issue twice”
NHTSA complaint #11242424, filed 2019-08, 117,041 miles“As I was merging onto 101 from 880 in san jose, the car lost all drive at the exit of the merge as the car experienced fuel starvation when the fuel on the right side of the gas tank slosh over to the left side during the tight turn from 101 and 880. My speed was less than 30mph at the turn and the starvation happened as I exited the clover leaf. The experience was scary as I lost all drive while cars were coming up behind me at 65mph. This has happened before, it is a common issue with the 370. I would like to ask NHTSA to step in and ask Nissan for a permanent fix. …”
NHTSA complaint #10649292, filed 2014-10, 30,000 miles“The fuel gauge does not display a full tank of gas after a fill up. This results in a very inaccurate depiction of fuel levels. This is a know issue but Nissan has refused to acknowledge on the 370Z. The problem it intermittent, but it has only gotten worst. I brought my car to the dealership a while ago and they replaced the instrument cluster, believing it to be an issue with the display. The issue is still there after they installed a new instrument cluster, but now I'm past my extended warranty. The real cause of this is within the fuel system and the way it measures the fuel level. …”
NHTSA complaint #10690521, filed 2015-02, 59,824 miles“Car revs up to 2500-3000 rpms between shifts! Cannot get the idle to drop lower; any attempt to punch the gas pedal and lower the idle just makes it idle faster!! Problem has existed 3.5 years now, and every time I request the dealer investigate they have lame excuse of if it isn't doing it when you bring it in, we can't troubleshoot it ! Wtf? The most recent time (march 2013) the car had a service engine light at the same time and idle wouldn't drop below 2000 rpms for 3 days. I took it in for service and dealer found nothing wrong and no codes saved in ECM memory . Again, wtf? …”
