We owns a 2009 nissan murano. While starting the car, we noticed that the fuel gauge failed to display an accurate fuel level reading. The malfunction occurred whenever the vehicle was started or in motion or when AC was on prior to starting the car. After this issue the service engine soon light illuminated also. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated to us that fuel level sensors would need to be replaced. The authorized dealer mentioned other cars have had same problem and this model might be covered under a recall but it was not based on the VIN number. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The dealer will charge $450 to repair the issue which is an issue for other nissan cars. We are paying the dealer to fix the issue but this should not be charged to customer if the issue is with other nissan cars.

Can not fill the tank with fuel no matter how slow you try. The mechanic says the roll over safety device is the problem which requires a whole new gas tank at a cost of over $1000.00
I too am running into that being an issue. Not every time I put gas in, but in some cases after putting fuel in, the service engine soon light comes on and stays on until you click the gas cap a few times, then it makes the seal and your good.
Service engine soon light continues to come on after purchasing fuel.
