Gas gauge failed to read accurately after turning 16,000 miles. Must fill tank to overflow level to be sure it is filled. Currently at 16,500 miles. Dealer contacted - had not heard of problem. I provided tsb # and service manager quoted the following costs to diagnose and repair: $119-diagnosis/ $420 for sender and sub-sender units (rogue is awd) / $263 labor. This problem is a dangerous defect and rather than fall under the tsb category a recall should be issued. Nissan should cover this at no cost to the customer.

Every time I go to fill up my tank, the gas gauge bars never reach the full tank indicator. It always show that my tank is 80% - 90% full. I always wait until the low gas light comes on before I fill up, but because the gauge is inaccurate, I have to fill up more often for fear of running out of gas at night with my two young children in the car.
Vehicle was traveling north in the middle lane of a six lane intersection. The vehicle made it thru the intersection and slowed to a complete stop. The vehicle was inoperable in the middle lane of the street. The fuel gage read a quarter of a tank and the low fuel warning light was not on. A gallon was added and the vehicle restarted. It went immediately to the gas station where over 16 gallons were added implying the tank was completely empty. Nissan said it was most likely the fuel sending unit. Several other nissan owners have complained about the same issue.
