Tank Assembly problems of the 2006 Nissan Murano

Just like all of the other complaints that I have been reading, when I attempt to put gas in my Murano I'm unable to put gas in by the nozzle. The only way I can get a full tank of gas is to keep clicking continuously until it's full. However, now I have a lot of back splash of gas and to me this very dangerous to me and others. Nissan should immediately have a recall on this problem before it cause an unnecessary accident or death. If this is a manufactured problem then it should be dealt with accordingly and respectively. I went by my local Nissan dealership concerning the problem and the only solution was given to try different pumps, hold the trigger gently, and it's cold outside it will do this more often. What type of resolution is this??????.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Murano. The contact stated that the fuel gauge would provide inaccurate fuel level readings. The dealer replaced the fuel tank, steering level sensor and the air bag clock spring. The manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 06v401000 (steering:column locking:anti-theft device) or NHTSA campaign id number: 06v003000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly) did and denied any assistance with repairs to the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 63,430 and the current mileage was 67,000.

The gas gauge shows empty when there is less that half tank left. The check engine light comes on for the fuel sensor.

Fuel level sensor circuit, fuel tank assembly, fuel level circuit sensor high input car will not pass emissions testing Nissan USA does not respond to phone calls or call back regarding request for recall. This item was recalled on several other Nissan's , but not the Murano. Nissan states emissions control warranty on fuel systems is only for 3 years and my time is over since the car is now 5 years old . Since July of 2010 67,000 miles the tank has been telling me I am empty when I reach half a tank of gas the car thinks its empty, I had no intention of fixing it since I know how much gas is in the car but now that it won't pass emissions testing, I test every 2 years and sept 15, 2011 car went in for testing and failed due to this fuel problem, due to cost to fix, I have dealt with poor fuel economy and fuel sensor/gauge malfunction but now I can't put my car on the road anymore due to not passing emissions and not being able to renew my license plates. [xxx] now has exactly 73,000 miles on it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

My 2006 Murano was bought used, shortly after buying, I had difficulty putting gas into it, pump kept shutting off, it only happened occasionally, so I did nothing about it, but did look it up to see there was a "service bulletin" now every time I pump gas it will do this, so I will be contacting Nissan about it to get this fixed, as I should not have to pay for this. Apparently there are many others w/ this same problem, it needs to be recalled. Have had a few instances where gas would spill back out of the tank and all over the side of the car and on the ground, this is a very serious safety issue.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) 2006 Nissan Murano s awd VIN # [xxx]. The check engine light came on at the end of March 2010. I scheduled my car to be looked at in the beginning of April. Prior to the appt, I noticed a major discrepancy between the 2 fuel instrument gauges. Whenever fuel would be down to around a quarter of a tank of gas, one or both of the gauges/electronic display would show any where from 1/2 a tank of fuel to completely empty. After bringing the car in for service in April, I was informed that my factory warranty had run out, and that my after market warranty purchased from that dealership, didn't cover the repair needed. I was advised that my check engine light and fuel gauge/electronic display was due to a defective fuel sender(fuel level sending unit). I was told that the sensor(s) needed to be replaced and that with parts and labor, the estimated repair cost would be $450. After researching the problem myself, I found that Nissan is having many problems with this same issue in other models the same model year, 2006. I contacted Nissan and found that no recalls on this issue are being taken at this time. I feel that given the large-scale recall (540,000 vehicles mostly in the us) in place for several other models, same year, same problem, it stands to reason that my model should be included in this recall. I have not as of yet run out of fuel on the roadway but that is mainly due to constantly keeping the tank at least half full to ensure the safety of my family. I have not yet repaired the vehicle at my expense in hopes that the NHTSA will make Nissan extend its recall, as it should.

The problem is trying to put gas into my vehicle the nozzle on the gas pump will shut of and spit gas back today I had a puddle of gas on the ground this has happened to me and my husband repeatedly have registered a complaint with the dealer and with the Nissan company directly. I have talked to other people with the same car, model and this has happened to them too. You have to keep turning the nozzle on and moving it around in the gas tank trying to find a position where the nozzle won't shut off or spit the gas back at you. This is the 2nd time where I had to come home and change my clothes, gas on my shoes, and pants, hands, arms I consider this to be very dangerous especially when there are people out there who have a cigarette lit at the pumps as illegal as it may be. This has happened at various gas stations so is not the pump at one certain station.

The contact owns a 2006 Nissan Murano. When filling the vehicle with gasoline, the fuel gauge indicator would read inaccurate fuel levels. Prior to the recent failure, the fuel system was repaired per NHTSA campaign id number 06v003000, fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assembly. The contact was unaware if the recall repairs were associated with the current failure. The current and failure mileages were 36,000.

2006 Nissan Murano won't take gas stops nozzle even when its not full** the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer replaced the fuel tank but that did not correct the problem.

I have a 2006 Nissan Murano sl. The recurring problem I have is that when filling up with gas, the pump stops generally after pumping only 0. 5 gallons to 3 gallons. Often, I can not fill it up anymore at that pump. Sometimes, I can start to fill it up at a slower rate and continue to get the rest of the gas in the tank. This has happened at 7 or 8 different stations in town, at numerous pumps - so it is not a case where 1 pump at a station is pumping too fast (as was used as the initial excuse). I have read in forums of this exact same problem, in addition someone at my dealer has confirmed they have seen this before. Yet my Murano is currently in the shop for the 3rd time since may 2006. They have cleaned the rollover float and are now replacing the tank assembly. One more time qualifies for the lemon law in illinois.
