2008 Nissan Rogue fuel system problems

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW HALF FULL AFTER BEING FILLED OR EVEN WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY ALSO SHOW EMPTY AT ANYTIME. IT MAY OR MAY NOT RETURN TO THE TRUE LEVEL IN THE TANK AT SOME POINT. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK WITHOUT USING THE TRIP ODOMETER TO TRACK YOUR MILEAGE BETWEEN FILL UPS. THE GAUGE IS OPERATIONALLY USELESS. ADDITIONALLY, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WITH THIS MAKING THE STATE INSPECTION A PROBLEM AND REQUIRING A REGULAR CHECK TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING ELSE HASN'T GONE WRONG. MONITOR CODE DISPLAYED IS PO463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. THIS IS AN ONGOING DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MANY NISSAN ROUGE OWNERS BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM POSTED TO THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The transmission shudders, jerks, whines, roars loudly. Yes it’s available for inspection. I was driving up a hill with my grand children in the car, and it started shuddering. Didn’t seem to be getting gas at all. The tank was full. Then it started rolling backwards down the hill. Needless to say my grand children were scared to death as I was also. No I haven’t spoken to anyone about the problem, as I don’t know who to talk to? Nobody has looked at it yet. I figured the transmission went, so I haven’t bothere$ with reaching out, until a friend told me hers did the exact same thing. So we looked it up. Yes it seemed to be shuddering before but never lost power and rolled backwards. There were no warning lights, or signs of it quitting. There was no acceleration at all. Just slowly lost power. It was still running but when you push the gas pedal you got nothing. Not even the reving of the motor!03/29

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT REGISTER IF THERE IS FUEL IN THE TANK, THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING ISSUE FOR MANY MONTHS, AND HAS GRADUALLY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT, THAT WHEN YOU START THE ENJOY IT ALWAYS STARTS AT ZERO. NISSAN HAD A RECALL ON A NUMBER OF OTHER MODELS AND MAKES WITH THE SAME ISSUE, THE ROUGE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL IN 2014. PER THE DIRECTION ON THE LAST RECALL WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK BEFORE IT GETS BELOW 50% FULL.

I GOT THIS CAR FROM MY DAUGHTER IN MAY. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN JUNE, STOPPED FOR A WHILE & NOW IN WINTER (JANUARY) IT CAME BACK & IS GETTING WORSE TO THE POINT I WON'T DRIVE ON FREEWAY ANYMORE. DECELERATES AT FREEWAY SPEEDS COMBINED WITH JERKING MOTION. ALSO DOES NOT ALWAYS ACCELERATE (DOGS OUT) WHILE PRESSING ON GAS FROM COMPLETE STOP OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN SLOW TRAFFIC CAUSING CARS BEHIND TO SLAM ON BRAKES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK ON 10/8/17 AND THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED ONE BAR LESS THAN FULL. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT MY FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS BROKEN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. THE 1ST TIME ON 6/26/10, THE 2ND TIME ON 3/30/11 (REPORTED 3/30/11, REPAIRED 4/13/11), THE 3RD TIME ON 6/6/12 (REPORTED 6/6/12, REPAIRED 6/12/12), THE 4TH TIME ON 6/3/13 (REPORTED 6/3/13, REPAIRED 6/17/13), AND NOW THE 5TH TIME ON 10/8/17. I BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE MALFUNCTIONING FUEL SENDING UNIT ON 10/13/17. BUT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THEY HAD NO DISCRETION OR ABILITY TO MAKE A REPAIR OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I NEEDED TO CALL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 10/13/17 AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO TWO INDIVIDUALS. BOTH WOMEN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WASN'T ACCEPTABLE THAT I'M NOW DEALING WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT A REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS SPECIALIST WOULD REVIEW THE CASE AND MY SERVICE RECORDS, AND THEN CONTACT ME WITH A DECISION. AFTER BACK AND FORTH WITH THE SPECIALIST AND HER SUPERVISOR, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE REJECTING MY CASE BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I QUESTIONED THAT AS A REASON, GIVEN I WAS DIRECTED TO THIS GROUP FOR AN 'OUT OF WARRANTY' REVIEW. I EXPLAINED AGAIN THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM REPEATEDLY. THIS HAD RESULTED IN THE SAME PART BEING REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. AND EACH OF THOSE TIMES, IT BROKE ' POINTING TO EITHER FAULTY PARTS BEING INSTALLED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, OR IMPROPER INSTALLATION WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TAKING THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. AND A BASIC GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. CAR: STATIONARY PART: FUEL SENDING UNIT

ITAKATA RECALL:BOUGHT THE CAR IN JULY 2016, AND EVERYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG HAS, OF COURSE IT'S TRIAL BY ERROR, THIS CAR HAD AND STILL HAS EVERY DEFECT THERE IS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY PROBLEMS OR WAS MY VIN NUMBER POSTED IN ANY EVENT WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO LAKE GEORGE, TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 70 WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR DECELERATED, FLOORING GOT US KNOW WHERE, LITERALLY THERE WAS TRAFFIC EVERYWHERE, I PUT MY HAZARDOUS LIGHTS ON AND WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET OVER TO RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I ATTEMPTED TO GO UP A HILL AND WHILE IN DRIVE THE CAR JUST ROLLED BACKWARDS, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, PERHAPS A WEEK AFTER GETTING MY CAR SERVICED AND MULTI CAR INSPECTION. I TOOK THE CAR BACK ,LADY AT THE DESK INFORMED ME THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE CVT, THEY SEALED IT AND REPLACE TRANSMISSION FLUID , SHE ALSO WENT TO SAY IF IT STILL GIVES YOU PROBLEMS THEN WE WILL REPLACE TRANSMISSION WHILE A FEW WEEKS LATER IT DECELERATED AGAIN. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO FUCILLONISSAN THREE TIMES, THE SERVICE MAN STATED I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE SERVICE LIGHT ON, WHAT HE REALLY MEANT TO SAY IS WE ARE NOT GOING PAY OVER THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION, OR WAIT FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATED LIGHT HAS CAME ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR, WHICH IS ALSO A DEFECT , AND REPEATEDLY INFORMED THEM, JUST FILLING THE TIRES UP AND RESET THE BUTTONS PRIOR TO ME OWNING THIS CAR IT WAS SERVICED FOR EMISSIONS DEFECT, THEIR WEBSITE INDICATED THAT THEY MERELY RESET THE BUTTON,BUT THE FACT THAT ARE HAZARDOUS FUMES DON'T EVEN DIRECT THEM TO LOOK FOR LEAK. THE GENTLEMAN FROM NISSAN SAID WAS RESOLVED, PUSHING A BUTTON, JUST LIKE THEY DID WITH TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR. NYS ADHERE TO ONE HAND WATCHES THE OTHER,HENCE THEY WOULD PLACE A RECALL, I JUST HOPE AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER GO THROUGH ANY OF THIS.

GAS GUAGE STARTED BEING INACCURATE AT 36,000 MILES. I HAVE READ ON-LINE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM W NISSANS BUT TO DATE THE COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DOING ANYTHING RESPONSIBLE ABOUT IT. SAFETY CONCERN IS RUNNING OUT OF FUEL IN AN AREA LIKE A CANYON ROAD AT NIGHT WHERE THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND CELL PHONE COVERAGE IS NOT AVAILABLE. I TRAVEL WEEKLY IN SUCH AN AREA FOR 45 MILES AT NIGHT. I CAN'T TRUST WHATEVER THE GUAGE SHOWS NOW.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON ALSO. I TOOK THE CAR TO FIRST NISSAN IN SIMI VALLEY, CA AND THEY INDICATED IT WOULD COST $900 TO PULL THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THE FUEL SENSOR LEVEL EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I ALSO CALLED NISSAN CORPORATION TO SEEK ASSISTANCE DUE TO THE COST. NISSAN CORP REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. I HAVE READ INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH MY YEAR NISSAN AND THAT THEY HAVE RECALLED VEHICLES AND PAID FOR THEIR REPAIR.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT YOUR TRANSMISSION, ACCELERATION PROBLEMS OR LOSS OF POWER YOU NEED TO ALSO A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION (FTC 877-382-4357) REGARDING YOUR DEALINGS WITH NISSAN. I JUST SPOKE WITH THE FTC AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WHILE THEY DON'T RESPOND TO INDIVIDUAL COMPLAINTS IF THEY SEE PATTERNS THEY DO. THE ONLY WAY WE WILL GET NISSAN TO RESPOND TO US IS BY COMPLAINING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES AS WELL AS THEIR SAFETY ISSUES. THESE DEALERSHIPS AND CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS KNOW THAT UNTIL ENOUGH OF US COMPLAIN TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND STOP JUST PAYING FOR NISSAN'S KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT AND OTHER ISSUES, THEY WILL KEEP GIVING US THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE TO PUT MY 2ND TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 ROGUE IN 12 MONTHS. NISSAN TELLS ME MY LAST NEW TRANSMISSION (APRIL 2014) WAS OUT OF THE 12 MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY. THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES ARE HORRIBLE. THESE CARS ARE UNSAFE AND PUTTING PEOPLE IN DANGER. PLEASE MAKE YOUR VOICE KNOWN AT THE FTC AS WELL AS HERE. TELL OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. WE DESERVE BETTER. CONTACT ME AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

MY VEHICLE LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ON WEDNESDAY. THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A BIT AND WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR, THE SPEED DECREASED TO ABOUT 30MPH AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF. THE CAR EVENTUALLY REGAINED ITS ABILITY TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I GOT OFF ON THE EXIT NEAR MY HOUSE AND THAT IS WHEN THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AGAIN IN THE MIDST OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I'VE HAD THIS CAR AND EACH TIME I CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY CLAIM TO NOT HAVE HEARD OF THIS EVER HAPPENING. IT EVEN HAPPENED ON A TRIP FROM TN TO SC. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE AND CONGESTED CITY STREETS. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT TAKING THE CAR ON TRIPS LONGER THAN 30-45 MINUTES LONG. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WHERE THE TPMS LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON FOR DAYS. WHEN I HAVE IT CHECKED OUT, I'M USUALLY TOLD THAT THE AIR PRESSURE IS GOOD AND THAT THE LIGHT IS JUST MALFUNCTIONING. THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP DENIES HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF THIS ISSUE ALSO AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY A TON OF MONEY FOR THEM TO CHECK IT OUT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

OVER A PERIOD OF ABOUT 2 YEARS, I WOULD HAVE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS BOTH WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, HILLS OR AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT FIRST IT WAS ANNOYING AND A FEW SECOND LONG PROBLEM BUT IT GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND MORE DANGEROUS. I HAD AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY WHERE I COMPLETELY LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE EVEN TO PULL OFF TO A SAFE LOCATION. IT WAS LIKE A STALL HAPPENED. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC TO MAKE SIMPLE TURNS AS WELL AS LEAVING TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IN NOVEMBER, I REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION BUT I BELIEVE NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND ARE PUTTING CONSUMERS AT GREAT RISK. EVEN AFTER THE REPLACEMENT OF MY TRANSMISSION (AFTER HEARING NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120,000 MILES) I STILL HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER I HAVE STARTED TO HAVE WHAT I CONSIDER DANGEROUS EFFECTS. THERE IS AS MUCH AS A 5 SECOND DELAY BETWEEN HITTING THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE ENGAGING TO MEET THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR TODAY AND BOTH ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAY I AM LOSING THE ABILITY TO PICK UP SPEED EVEN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I WON'T ALLOW MY OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS TO DRIVE MY CAR AND PLANT OTAKE IT NISSAN THIS WEEK. I DO ASK THAT THE NTSB OR THE AGENCY ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS WITH NISSAN. I KNOW THEY ARE RAMPANT WITH THE CARS WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS. I BELIEVE I AM IN DANGER IN THIS VEHICLE AND I FULLY BELIEVE NISSAN IS AWARE OF IT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, MY GAS GAUGE HAS BEEN READING INCORRECTLY AND WHEN I WOULD GO TO FILL OUT THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NEVER SHOW COMPLETELY FULL. IN SOME CASES, I WOULD TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD READ SUFFICIENTLY LESS THAN WHAT WAS IN THE TANK AND THEN CLIMB BACK UP TO WHAT I ASSUME WAS THE CORRECT LEVEL. MY LAST FILL UP, THE GAUGE READ 3 BARS LEFT OF FUEL AND I PUMPED 14.5 GALLONS OF GAS AT THE STATION WHICH IS EXACTLY MY GAS TANK SIZE. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR AND OTHER MODELS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO GOOD FIXES APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN FOUND.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WAS RETURNING FROM TRIP NORTH CAROLINA BACK HOME TO TENNESSEE ONCE ABOUT HOUR AWAY FELT CAR JUST START SLOWING DOWN CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON GAS. WAS ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT HAND LANE AND GET OFF INTERSTATE JUST BEFORE CAR WENT TO A CRAWL. CAR WAS MAKING WHINING NOISE WHILE TRYING TO MOVE CAR FROM HIGHWAY. CAR CAME TO STOP AND UNABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. HAD CAR TOWED BACK TO MY HOUSE SENT TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT TRANSMISSION HAD MALFUNCTIONED. DOING RESEARCH ON TRANSMISSION FOUND OUT THE NISSAN ROUGE IS USING CVT TRANSMISSION AND THAT NISSAN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 120K OR 10 YEARS. MY RESEARCH ALSO FOUND OUT THAT OTHER NISSAN OWNERS OF ROGUE AND MURANOS WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT ABOUT THE WARRANTY I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER CARE TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD MY MODEL AND MAKE QUALIFIED UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT MILEAGE DIDN'T MATTER. NISSAN DECIDED NOT TO ASSIST ME WITH REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF TRANSMISSION. I TRIED TO TELL NISSAN ABOUT LETTER THAT STATED THEY WOULD DECREASE COST EVEN ABOVE 120K. THEY REFUSED TO DO SO. I HAD NO WARNING SENSORS THAT THERE WAS PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A BAD ACCIDENT IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD OF WENT OUT DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT APPEARS READING ABOUT OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO HAVING A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. EVEN SPEAKING WITH MECHANICS FROM OUTSIDE AND WITH NISSAN THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND MANY HAVE ISSUES AND COMPLAINANTS ABOUT IT.

THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL THE CAR HAS / THE CAR HAS LESS GAS THAN IT SHOWS.I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALER FIVE TIMES AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM - THEY HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE TWICE. I HAVE REPORTED TO NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY ADVISED THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE FOR THIS MODEL. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

I FILLED ME VEHICLE UP ON MONDAY OF THIS WEEK, AND THE GAS GAUGE NEVER WENT ABOVE A 1/4 OF A TANK. WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO WORK MY CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND I HAD NO IDEA BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN SHOWING ON E ALL WEEK, BUT I KNEW IT HAD GAS. SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER, IT HAS NEVER ACTUALLY GONE ALL THE WAY TO FULL NO MATTER HOW MUCH I FILL IT UP. I LOOK ONLINE AND ALL I'M SEEING IS THIS IS A HUGELY KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN'S. IT CAUSED ME LOST WORK AND I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY $600+ TO GET THIS FIXED, WHEN IF THEY GOT IT RESOLVED THERE WOULDN'T BE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, NO MATTER THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS GAUGE READY 1/2 TO 1/4 EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH A FAULTY FUEL SENDING MODULE OR MODULES OR PERHAPS THE FUEL PUMP. I SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE NISSAN ROGUE. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE NISSAN PATHFINDER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. TO MY UNDERSTANDING THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NISSAN FUEL PART IS THAT THE PATHFINDER PART NUMBER IS DIFFERENT THEN THE NISSAN BUT THE FAULTY PART IS THE SAME. ALSO PROBLEMS WITH TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR PANEL LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN TIRE PRESSURE IS CORRECT.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

MY 2008 NISSAN ROGUE HAS A TENDENCY TO LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AT A CONSTANT SPEED, USUALLY ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR AT 75 MILES AN HOUR. THE VEHICLE WILL START MY MAKING A WEIRD WHISTLING OR WHINING NOISE THEN AFTER THAT YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE IT'LL BE STUCK AT WHATEVER SPEED YOUR GOING. WHEN I COME ACROSS A BRIDGE OR A HILL IT'LL SLOW DOWN A BIT THEN ACCELERATE ONCE I'M GOING DOWNHILL THEN STOP AT A SPECIFIC MPH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESS ON THE GAS IT WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER. WHEN I OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND TRY TO TAKE OFF AGAIN IT WILL NOT RESPOND RIGHT AWAY THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF WITH ME AS I'M PRESSING THE GAS, ALMOST RESULTING IN ME RUNNING INTO OTHER VEHICLES SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN I TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN IT DOESN'T GIVE ANY ERROR CODES OR SHOW THAT ANYTHING IS WRONG. NISSAN CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO PAY SOMEONE TO GO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR OVER THAT LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I COMMUTE TO WORK AND CHURCH ON THE HIGHWAY FIVE TIMES A WEEK AND EXPERIENCE THIS JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY. I DID HOWEVER TAKE THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE EXPERIENCE WHAT THE CAR IS DOING AND HE NOTICED NISSAN PUT TOO MUCH FLUID IN MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY REPLACED IT AFTER IT STOPPED ON ME PREVIOUSLY ON THE HIGHWAY, THAT DID SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS BUT NOW IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE THEY INFORM ME THERE'S NO RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I DID A INTERNET SEARCH AND THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME STORY AND WAS EVEN COVERED BY THE NEWS STATION. ONE OTHER THING THEY ALL HAVE IN COMMON IS THAT NO ONE HAD THAT ISSUE FIX OR KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY RENT A VEHICLE BECAUSE I REFUSE TO LET MY WIFE AND ONE YEAR OLD IN THE CAR BY THEMSELVES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

WHEN I GO TO FILL UP MY GAS TANK I WILL LET IT RUN UNTIL IT STOPS AT THE PUMP THEN PUMP IN A LITTLE MORE TO GET IT TO AN EVEN DOLLAR AMOUNT, I WILL THEN GET IN THE CAR AND THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT SHOW FULL. FOR SOME REASON THE FIRST "TICK" ON THE GAS GAUGE WILL NEVER COME ON NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS YOU PUT IN THE CAR. AS FOR THE WHETHER OR NOT THE REST OF IT IS ACCURATE I AM NOT QUITE SURE. I TRY TO KEEP A DECENT AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE TANK BECAUSE I QUESTION ITS ACCURACY.
