About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The fuel gauge is inaccurate once below 3/8ths of a tank. This could lead to a stall on the freeway or in a dangerous area leading to an accident. The problem leaves insufficient time to get to the shoulder of the road. Our particular incident had the meter at 3/8ths and the vehicle stalled. The car was shut off and, when turned back on, the gauge was showing empty. In addition to the problem of a stall causing a potential accident, the fuel pump uses gasoline to cool and lubricate it, leading to potential long-term problems with the fuel system as it was run until empty. Nissan has had historical problems with fuel gauges and this is in line with similar complaints throughout the years.

I have a large lag when I hit the accelerator pedal and I have a fuel issue in the tank that I was to get a repair notice on. Trouble filling the tank.

I bought this car with 36,00, thousand miles. After 20,000 miles I had enough. Too many problems, ps light (indicating steering wheel problem) on the panel for no reason and Nissan charged me for that. I changed the right axle, and now I'm going to have to change left axle for the same reason (no explanation from Nissan, only that the part is not working properly and making noises). Problem number three, last week my car started doing a loud noise, and today I discovered that I'm going to have to change all the catalytic system (almost a thousand dollars for that).
