My air bag warning light blinking all the time, when I took to the dealer they advice me to replace air bag and sensors it cost more than $2000.00. A fuel gauge light on dash board is dropped when it's full tank.

Fuel gauge reading is erratic and unreliable when driving at steady speed. It jumps erratically by as much as half a tankful, back and forth.

I was leaving a store and gas light came on. I knew that I had fill up before entering the I-95 interstate and I was a bit perplexed. I drove to a gas station and filled up once again and notice that the gas gauge filled to its capacity. This occurred a few months ago and I dismissed it. On 9/19/13, I stopped at a gas station and the check engine light came on. On 9/20/13 I took the vehicle to the dealership for a diagnostic and was told that I needed a fuel sending unit which would cost me $1,087. Of course, I decline to repair it because at that time I was frustrated with nissan and didn't have the funds. Previously, I took the vehicle back on two occasions for transmission problems which I was grateful that it was under warranty. The dealership replaced the transmission and treated this incident an occurring problem with 09 rogue. I only have this vehicle for 1.5 years and I am fearful each time that I drive. Even the young gentleman from triple a told me to get rid of it because within the last month he has to tow quite a few. My commute on interstate each day is worrisome because I don't know what is going to happen next. Now I am stuck with a new problem with this vehicle that I am still paying for and spending more money on gas because I don't know what can happen. Please we must do something with this company nissan. I placed a complaint today 9/23/13 and was told they would call me back since they don't have any information with this type of recall. (liars) they are lots of complaints about the fuel sending unit on nissan. It is now 2015 and I did fix the fuel sending unit and I am still having problems. My mechanic seem to think that it is electrical because I am still not able to pump gas in my vehicle. I see that the nissan quest have been recalled for the same issue. Please recall the 09 rogue since the complaints are similar.

(liars) they are lots of complaints about the fuel sending unit on nissans. I am not certain if I will continue to make payments on a car that I truly feel unsafe with or write off my loss and look for another vehicle. Either way, I had to write this complaint since I have never felt so unsafe driving a vehicle.

My gas gauge is not reading properly so any time my tank is below half full it displays random inaccurate levels. There are recalls on many other models for this exact problem and the rogue should be included in the recall.

The fuel gauge does not register properly. It will not show a full tank or no gas. It only show 80 to 90 percent full and does not go below 1/4 tank, even with no gas.
