FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL DOES NOT READ ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND IT'S HARD TO GET GAS TO GO INTO THE TANK, IT WANTS TO SPRAY BACK OUT.
NHTSA complaint #10592305 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I DROVE MY NISSAN OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, IT STARTED SLIPPING, GRINDING. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECK LIGHT WOULD NOT COME ON AT ALL, EVER SINCE I HAD IT. TURNS OUT TRANSMISSION FLUID TANK EMPTY. I WAS ON MAJOR HIGHWAY, COULD GO 40 MILES AN HOUR, JERKED OUT OF GEAR WITH TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. HAD TOW IT TO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND TRANSMISSION BURNED OUT. FAULTY TRANSMISSION LIGHT FAILED TO WARN ME OF PROBLEMS. NISSAN OWNERS MANUAL DOES NOT INSTRUCT YOU TO CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID. IT DIRECTS YOU TO DEALERSHIP. HAD NO WARNING LIGHT TO ALERT ME. COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
STARTED SMELLING GAS FUMES. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE TRUCK TO ADVANCE AUTO TO GET THE CODES OFF OF THE COMPUTER AND THE TECH SAID IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ENGINE AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.

SOMETIMES IT HEATS UP SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT. 4) MY ENGINE HAS OIL LEAK..STARTING JUNE OF 2013, WHENEVER I START MY ENGINE, I GET A LOT OF BLUE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE IT LAST FOR A SEVERAL SECONDS. THE MORE OIL IN MY ENGINE THE GREATER THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE THE LESS OIL THE LESS SMOKE. I PUT IN A MINIMUM OF 2 TO 3 QUARTS OF OIL WEEKLY IN MY ENGINE TO KEEP UP WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE SHOWS INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE NISSAN PEOPLE'S FIX IS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK OVER HALF FULL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO, BUT WHEN WE TOOK OUR TRUCK IN, WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO RECEIVE A APPOINTMENT FROM NISSAN BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING. OUR LETTER STATES "THE VEHICLE COULD STALL, WHICH COULD CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH." WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. PLEASE HELP US.
