2016 Nissan Altima fuel gauge is not registering correctly. I fill up the tank but the dashboard gauge shows as half full even though the mileage to empty is updating I think correctly. Each time I fill up tank the level does not go to the full mark. I have contacted the dealer because I just bought the car a month ago. Waiting for them to contact me back to schedule a service appointment.

I have been having chronic issues with engine on my 2016 Nissan Altima. Initially (11/2016), the car would "jump/skip" when I would try to accelerator and even feeling like it was going to cut off on me. When I called I was informed it was due to defect and it was on recall. The issues appeared to resolve until 11/2017 I started experiencing the same issue but worse and was not able to accelerate while I was driving to work and back home. This occurred on Florida turnkpike and local highways. Cars were hooking at me because I was not able to proceed when light turned green, even though I was flooring the car pedal. When I took the car to the shop, I was informed it was my transmission and they had to rebuild it. Afterwards, I continue to have problems with the car cutting off on me and acceleration issues. I brought it back, and I was told it was the crank sensor. They replaced it but know the engine continue to sound like it is working overtime to perform and make a constant high pitch sound. I am bring it back to them a 3rd time to investigate.

I was driving on Florida turnpike South and out of no where I hear a big boom noise. My car started over heating and I noticed my engine light has come onto the dashboard. Once I pulled over on side of turnpike, I notice sticking out of my front bumper a big piece of metal.
