NHTSA Complaint #11044081 — 2010 NISSAN ROGUE

WHILE DRIVING MY WIFES 2010 NISSAN ROGUE SL FWD IS SHOWED 62 MILES LEFT BEFORE EMPTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE. THE CAR DIED ON A WINDING BACK COUNTRY ROAD WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF SOMEONE WERE TO COME OVER A BLIND HILL AND HIT US. THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING, I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. GOT THE CAR STOPPED AND HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO COME OUT AND FLAG DOWN ON-COMING TRAFFIC THAT WE WERE STOPPED AHEAD. THE CAR WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START, ACTING AS IF IT WERE OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGHT THE FUEL GAUGE SAID 60 MILES TO EMPTY. HAD TO GET A RIDE TO GET FUEL AND CAR STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS OBVIOUSLY SHOWS THAT THE FUEL SENDING UNIT OR GAUGE IS NOT CALIBRATED PROPERLY AND CAUSED A WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS OR DEADLY SITUATION. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN ROGUES AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS BUT NO RECALL OR TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED.
