1 Tank Assembly problem of the 2004 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 09/02/2011

I have a 2004 350z Nissan I bought used in 2007 @ 16k milles. I'm unable to fill the fuel tank completely. Apparently the fuel nozzle sensor detects the tank as filled when it is not. Before tank fuel gauge shows 3/4 filled @ 12-13 gallons when nozzle shuts off randomly. Otherwise I could fill up no problem. However, now it's only allowing about 1/2 tank to fill (about 7 gallons) consistantly. I'm having to refuel several times in any given week. Nothing has been replaced on the car yet, but I uderstand that there was a recall that I was unaware of.

3 Tank Assembly problem of the 2004 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 07/01/2010

The fuel gauge in my 2004 Nissan 350z fluctuates up and down. It happens after fueling, and upon driving the car. I have taken the car to 2 different Nissan service depts. For repair. The first time, they said it was a faulty fuel sensor, and replaced it. They said it was fixed, but when I drove it, the gauge fluctuated again. Took it back, but they said there was nothing wrong with it and couldn't do anything else since there were no codes coming from the computer. So took my car to a 2nd Nissan serv. Dept and they said they fixed it by replacing the other fuel sensor (since there are 2), but still faulty. I do not know how much gas I have in my tank at anytime. It is most dangerous while driving and the fuel tank empty warning light suddenly comes on, after the gauge had just reflected that there was plenty of fuel.

4 Tank Assembly problem of the 2004 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 01/10/2009

Nissan 350z have a fuel gauge problem in which many are experiencing. When the gauge reaches below 1/4 tank full it will show as empty. Once the car is turned off the gauge will show as empty even when fuel is in it. The in accuracy of the gauge leads to people over filling their tanks with gas. It has lead to cars running out of fuel on highways. And it has caused dealerships to not know how to fix the issue or over charge on trouble shooting issue they have no idea how to handle. This issue deals with fuel and it is unsafe for we cannot determine how much fuel we have which can lead to over pumping and/or running out of fuel on highways.

5 Tank Assembly problem of the 2004 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 01/15/2008

I can't fill up no more then 5 gallons when the gas gauge is reading empty. The gas tank will refuse fuel and overflow out of the filler causing it to get all over the body. I hate to make frequent stops for gas again and again. . I searched on multiple forums and there are a lot of people that are going through the same issue with there cars and even the newer models which is ridiculous. I think this technical issue should be resolved.

6 Tank Assembly problem of the 2004 Nissan 350Z

Failure Date: 01/01/2008

I have a 2004 Nissan 350z touring edition, I been having a problem with the gas gauge from what I have noticed is when the gauge is below the half it starts fluctuating from e to about a 1/4 or even to 1/2 tank. When I turn the car on and off it starts off at empty and will slowly make it way up to what ever it wants this problem has been going on with these car for a number of years but nothing has been done from Nissan. So I never really know how much gas I really have I thinks a very dangerous problem to have because what about if you need to pull out into traffic and your car cut's off because it has no gas. Game over right!!!.
