Check engine light came on and says fuel level sensor circuit a low

1. Fuel Gauge- the fuel Hague is incorrect. I suspect somewhere between 1/2 tank and 3/8 tank will actually be an empty tank. I was almost left stranded when I could make it to the next service station. The car performed slow and the car came to a slow stop. No fuel indicator light came on. 2. My steering wheel has been very difficult to turn. Suddenly the power steering tank requires daily service. There is a rattling noise that gets a little better when I pour power steering fluid. I am unable to make safe turns due to the steering wheel no moving at it’s normal rate. Turning at intersections is the worst as I sometimes have to try several attempts. I end up having to take wide turns and that is not always safe in our narrow streets. There is no indicator light related to this concern.

Fuel gauge sensor was brought in for recall but issue still exists. Dealer claims I need to pay to determine if it is still the same problem. Dealer also confirmed they do not verify the recall work done was successful. All they are required to do is "put in the new parts". When I fill the tank within 5 mins. It goes back to empty on the gas gauge. The recall did nothing to solve the problem.

The gas gauge must be faulty. If I fill up may move or not. Usually shows empty. The van may be moving or sitting still . I called nissan dealership and was VIN was included in the recall. I can't understand why because has the same issue as the 68,000 vans that were repaired. I think the part is called sender unit.

The fuel guage is malfunctioning. I have run out of gas while driving the vehicle on several occasions. I have replaced the fuel pump and fuel sensor and the issue is still present. The vehicle ran out of gas in motion on a busy street, then on a busy exit ramp, once on interstate 695 in baltimore. The vehicle was nearly hit by traffic behind the vehicle when it ran out of gas due to a faulty fuel gauge.

Fuel gauge goes from full to empty when it's almost full, nissan did a fuel sender campaign repair but it did not correct the problem...this happens every time I start the car and drive just a mile or so

My fuel gauge would say that I had over a quarter tank of gas and out of nowhere my van would shut down. No warning, no anything. This happened a few times. I got a recall letter in the mail about my fuel sensor and to keep a half a tank in it until I could get it fixed. I took my van to a nissan dealership and they replaced the fuel amp meter (part no. 24819-zm70a). I was told that everything was good, but not even two days later at a quarter of a tank of gas my van shut down with no warning. I didn't even have power steering to help me guide my vehicle safely to the side of the road. My van started idling roughly and not acting like it had before I took it in for the recall. I took the van back up to the dealership that fixed my recall and they stated that the sensor is fine and now I have to replace the entire fuel pump sending unit. The entire problem has not been rectified. Now being told to spend $1000 dollars on a part to fix the same problem.

I received a check engine light on my quest and the fuel gauge hand was not working properly. I would fill it up and the gas hand would go to full and then as I would drive it would drop down to empty for a while and back to full for while as I would drive. I took it to my local dealership and they stated it was the fuel pump. I had a fuel pump put on by and independent mechanic but the check engine light was still on so I took it back to the dealership and they stated that it was the fuel pump but I told them I replaced that and they then stated it was the sending unit, I told them my local mechanic checked the sending unit and he said that the connectivity was good on the sending unit. The local dealership then ran more diagnostic and said it was dash that caused the problem and not the fuel pump. I had the dash replaced and the fuel gauge is now stuck on full. I have read several other forums with people that have had the same problem as I. I believe this needs to be looked into as a recall as it seems to be affecting a lot of people.
