The gas gage will show full when I fill the tank yet 50 miles of driving and it starts to show empty and then go up to 3/4 tank and then empty again the low fuel light and servce engine light comes on and I am never sure how much fuel or mileage I am getting from a tank of gas. I changed the fuel pump about a year ago thinking this would solve the problem I get code po463 when checked with scanner. The car has 132, 000 miles on it and this problem is ongoing. My son ran out of gas in the middle of an intersection when it quit. No way to be sure of how much fuel and on a trip to nc from fla I am afraid of this car running out on the highway with me an old disabled woman alone. I have read many peoples accounts online that this is an ongoing issue and it is surely a safety hazard.. It will say the tank is empty and when I put gas in it only takes 5 gal or it will read full and run out of gas.

The fuel pumps shuts of when the car is running causing the car to shut off my mother drives this car and I got it with 20,000 miles and so far I had to replace the hi power steering line 250.00 the sun visors 400.00 at nissan and know the fuel pump I haven't even got the price on this yet but I feel that nissan are selling crap for cars I have 2 nissan also a 2007 altima got brand new and that at 300 miles I started having issue and nissan still has not fixed any issue that stated they don't find any issues I think nissan should be paying for this repair as it is a known issue and it can cause a person to shut off wile driving and cause a crash.
Service engine soon came up, so I went to my mechanic & told me that code "po463" came up & fuel pump sending unit needs to be replaced & that cost around $800. I check online & notice that a lot of people are having the same problem. So I think nissan needs to do a recall & take care of this issue....thank you in advance.

I have a very hard time pumping gas into my 2006 nissan murano s. After a gallon or two the fuel pump handle will kick off and stop pumping. I have been told this is because of the venting system. I first brought the car in for this issue in 2006. I ended up picking it up and then taking it right back because I couldn't put gas into it at the station down the road. It was again serviced for the same thing in 2008 and then again in 2009. The vehicle is currently back in the shop for the same complaint. I have to pump gas into a portable gas can and then pour it into the murano.
