Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Our gas gauge indicated that we had 1/4 tank of gas. The tank was empty. We ended up stranded on the highway in 80 degree weather with two young children in the car till aaa was able to bring us gas. We got to the gas station and filled up and the tank literally took over 20 gallons, which means it was completely empty even though the gas gauge said we still had 1/4 tank. In addition, only a few weeks before, we had just replaced the gas gauge with a brand new, Nissan gas gauge. …”
NHTSA complaint #10711951, filed 2015-04, 88,500 miles“We received a letter on jan 9, 2015 from Nissan north america advising that there was a potential problem with the fuel gauge and that we must maintain at least a half tank of gas until they repaired the problem. They advised they would contact us within a few months to do so. They have not contacted us in any way. As far as we know we must continue to maintain the gas level. When we called they said there would not be sending a letter rescinding the first letter's requirements and that only those car owners needing repair would receive a followup letter. Think about that for a minute. …”
NHTSA complaint #10701376, filed 2015-03, 100,000 miles“After completely fueling the tank, the car runs for about 2 to 3 miles and then becomes to say that that fueling tank is empty. Its been occurring for the past 4 years. We've tried changing the fuel pump and the fuel cap, but it still continues to show that the fuel tank is empty. While driving on the city streets, the car will start going slow and stop by its self after showing that there is now gasoline. Afterwards, it will completely shut down and after a few minutes, it starts to run normally. This happens about every 2 to 3 days.”
NHTSA complaint #11100089, filed 2018-06, 120,000 miles“Fuel gauge goes to near empty and then starts to show more gas in tank then is really there. Driver runs risk of running out of gas based on faulty reading on fuel gauge.”
