Apparently nissan is known for problems with their fuel level sensors, but not specifically for muranos' well maybe it should be, even after I bought the new parts and had them installed with a mechanic, they still do not work or function properly.when I fill up the tank the level sensor doesn't go past a quarter of a tank now, it drops rapidly and I have even now ran out of gas when it says it has gas in there or miles till empty. This is a known problem, maybe it should be fixed.

Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. I took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $100 to inspect + $700/$800 part & labor. Of course is not covered by nissan. How many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? I am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. After reading complaints about air bag warning lights, drivers seat collapsing, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, check engine light coming on due to fuel gauge failure, wiper motor/transmission going out. My nissan murano has all these problems and more. I cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. The fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. Nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. We love teh car but it should hole together better than this. Theres are not items caused by high millage jut plain poor designs. Seats breaking - no way, visors falling down - no way, fuel gauge failure - no way, air bag warning light - no way, wiper motor/transmission - no way - please help us!!!!

Bought the car, used in 2009. For at least two years chargers in car did not work. Within last six months fuel gauge became inaccurate. There was another incident where the car just stopped, will look for details. But 9/24/13 driving up a hill, car came out of gear and stopped working. The part that was ultimately replaced was the instrument panel-part number 24820-cc20a. Apparently, panel was not communicating with transmission properly. Dealer charged us $1150 to replace. Neither service manager or service coordinator has seen one which needed to be replaced. Nissan accepts no responsibility. Yes, internet full of comments about issues with transmission and instrument panel. These failures appear to be the result of faulty soldering or welding of connections.

Faulty fuel gauge, fuel float or fuel monitoring system. I filled up the car and the gauge reads empty. It will erratically show different fuel levels ranging anywhere from empty to half-full to full. This is a safety issue because it is impossible to know how much fuel is left. After doing a brief internet search I discovered that their are multiple entries for this issue from other nissan owners.

The vehicle gas gauge behavior became erratic over the last year. At the mid point of 1/2 fuel it would go to zero and return later to return to a different reading. Today , 7/23/2012 the gauge sending was replaced and the factory installed defective sending unit was found to show signs of electrical arcing. It should be noted that nissan has extended the warranty on fuel tank components in other models but not the murano. Nissan reports the murano is not under any recall for sending unit defects. Is there a risk of gas tank explosion from this defect? Has the federal safety agency made any judgment about nissan sending units. Is the gauge intrinsically safe so that the arcing could not cause vapor ignition? Is the safety basis built around the tank vapors being outside the combustion zone, I.e. Too rich? Have others reported similar risk issues? Thank you.

Fuel gauge started to failed and check engine light turned on. Failed the state inspection due to emissions. I took the vehicle to the dealer and quoted for replace the two failing fuel sending units $99 to inspect + $700 part & labor. Of course is not covered by nissan. How many other brands beside nissan have you seen with this problem? I am simply appalled by the lack of concern from nissan. After reading complaints about seat collapsing, wheel bearing going out, visors falling blocking the view of the driver, steering hoses braking causing fire, in vehicles with low mileage I cannot believe nissan does not identify this as a safety issues and allows the consumer to pay for these faulty components. The fact that nissan does not stand up behind their products is an insult to everyone who bought this product. Nissan offers no assistance despite the clear premature failure of the components. This is my first and last nissan vehicle. Writing letter to the ceo, vice president total customer satisfaction, vice president manufacturing quality and parts & service nissan north america, inc.
