Gas gauge show empty sometimes when its on half tank then the engine lights turn on,when get full tank and run for 2 hrs the engine lights goes off but when gas tank get to half, sometimes when engine starts the gauge shows empty tank again and then in short time the gauge start going up again but not sure if its reading right fill of gas. Somebody said it might a problem on gas valve that the spring won't work good. It happen all the time anywhere all the time, in motion or in stop.
Itakata recall:bought the car in july 2016, and everything that can go wrong has, of course it's trial by error, this car had and still has every defect there is. I bought this car from I was not notified of any problems or was my VIN number posted in any event we were on our way to lake george, traveling at a speed of 70 when all of a sudden my car decelerated, flooring got us know where, literally there was traffic everywhere, I put my hazardous lights on and was finally able to get over to right side of road. On another occasion I attempted to go up a hill and while in drive the car just rolled backwards, service engine light came on, perhaps a week after getting my car serviced and multi car inspection. I took the car back ,lady at the desk informed me there was a crack in the CVT, they sealed it and replace transmission fluid , she also went to say if it still gives you problems then we will replace transmission while a few weeks later it decelerated again. I have brought the car back to fucillonissan three times, the service man stated I had to wait until the service light on, what he really meant to say is we are not going pay over three thousand dollars for a new transmission, or wait for the extended warranty to expire. The tire pressure indicated light has came on since I bought the car, which is also a defect , and repeatedly informed them, just filling the tires up and reset the buttons prior to me owning this car it was serviced for emissions defect, their website indicated that they merely reset the button,but the fact that are hazardous fumes don't even direct them to look for leak. The gentleman from nissan said was resolved, pushing a button, just like they did with tire pressure sensor. Nys adhere to one hand watches the other,hence they would place a recall, I just hope an inexperienced driver go through any of this.
Incorrect fuel level indicator reading, check engine light on. Reason -faulty fuel level sending unit
My car failed the cal smog check on 3/24/2016 preventing me from obtaining my registration tags. The car passed every test with the exception of code p0463-fuel level sensor "a" circuit high. The check engine light is on also. I took the car to first nissan in simi valley, ca and they indicated it would cost $900 to pull the engine to see if the fuel sensor level equipment needs to be replaced. I also called nissan corporation to seek assistance due to the cost. Nissan corp refused to provide any assistance. I have read information on the internet that this has been an issue with my year nissan and that they have recalled vehicles and paid for their repair.

I've had this issue for a couples of years now, my rogue losses power after driving for about 30 minutes or more on the highway. I've read several complaints in this site and elsewhere of when the problem occur and how it's so hard replicate because there's no engine light. I've already replace my transmission in april 2013 and now my engine lights is on, took it to nissan and they say it's my transmission valve body. I just hit 126,000 miles on the vehicle and of course my extended warranty expires at 120,000. Nissan needs to seriously consider a recall on this issue before someone gets hurt (if it hasn't happen already).
