NHTSA Complaint #10403660 — 2010 NISSAN ROGUE

THE NISSAN ROGUE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER GAS USAGE CORRECTLY. THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN 100 - 200 MILES AND GAS GAUGE SHOWS A FULL TANK. THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT CONSISTENTLY OFF BY SAME QUANTITY EITHER, SO ACTUAL GAS IN THE CAR IS NOT PREDICTABLE. IT FAILS TO WORK CORRECTLY DURING ANY NORMAL CAR USAGE. PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO ISSUE IN 9/2/10. ON 11/18/10 MY ROGUE RAN OUT OF GAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN THE GAUGE STILL SHOWED 3 GALLONS OF GAS! TOOK CAR IN AGAIN IN 1/31/11 WAS TOLD GAS SENDING UNIT WAS FAULTY AND HAD PART REPLACED 3/26/11. ON 5/13/11 GAS GAUGE SHOWS FULL AFTER DRIVING 130 MILES AND CAR TAKES 6.5 GAL OF GAS. ON 5/28/11 RETURNED TO DEALER, THEY ORDERED ANOTHER NEW SENDING UNIT AND A NEW PUMP. *TR
