Consumer Description

AS I WAS MERGING ONTO 101 FROM 880 IN SAN JOSE, THE CAR LOST ALL DRIVE AT THE EXIT OF THE MERGE AS THE CAR EXPERIENCED FUEL STARVATION WHEN THE FUEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GAS TANK SLOSH OVER TO THE LEFT SIDE DURING THE TIGHT TURN FROM 101 AND 880. MY SPEED WAS LESS THAN 30MPH AT THE TURN AND THE STARVATION HAPPENED AS I EXITED THE CLOVER LEAF. THE EXPERIENCE WAS SCARY AS I LOST ALL DRIVE WHILE CARS WERE COMING UP BEHIND ME AT 65MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 370. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK NHTSA TO STEP IN AND ASK NISSAN FOR A PERMANENT FIX. THIS HAPPENED WITH MORE THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS ON BOARD. *TR
