1 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 12/18/2020

Vehicle fuel gauge said 1/4 of a tank as I was driving the car suddenly shut off on a busy road making it very dangerous. I had the car towed home and as I was trying to diagnose the problem I added gas to the tank and the car started. Obviously the problem is the fuel sending unit.

2 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2015

The fuel gauge does not display a full tank of gas after a fill up. This results in a very inaccurate depiction of fuel levels. This is a know issue but Nissan has refused to acknowledge on the 370z. The problem it intermittent, but it has only gotten worst. I brought my car to the dealership a while ago and they replaced the instrument cluster, believing it to be an issue with the display. The issue is still there after they installed a new instrument cluster, but now I'm past my extended warranty. The real cause of this is within the fuel system and the way it measures the fuel level. This renders the fuel gauge, distance to empty and average mpg reading inaccurate and useless. There are others who have this issue and I would like for Nissan to address it as a recall.

3 Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2014

As I was merging onto 101 from 880 in san jose, the car lost all drive at the exit of the merge as the car experienced fuel starvation when the fuel on the right side of the gas tank slosh over to the left side during the tight turn from 101 and 880. My speed was less than 30mph at the turn and the starvation happened as I exited the clover leaf. The experience was scary as I lost all drive while cars were coming up behind me at 65mph. This has happened before, it is a common issue with the 370. I would like to ask NHTSA to step in and ask Nissan for a permanent fix. This happened with more than half a tank of gas on board.
