Had noticed that the gas gauge read empty and the fuel light came on. I had just put gas in the vechicle 2 days before. I looked for a leak and there was nothing noticable. I filled the tank, returned to the car to check the gauge and noticed that it read 3/4. I started driving and as I was driving it fluctuated betweem full and 3/4. I talked to my wife about the issue and she had noticed that the gas gauge had been reading inaccurately the past couple of days.

The fuel gauge/sensor is not reading properly. It will show the tank as empty even when it is not. I have tried to contact nissan directly, however they will not address the problem even though there are three other models of car that have been recalled from the same year due to the same problem. They have also issued a service bulletin regarding the same issue but refused to do anything to remedy it on my vehicle. This concerns me as in reading other complaints regarding the same issue except that the vehicle can stall while in motion creating a very unsafe driving experience.
