Other Fuel System Fuel Gauge problems of the 2010 Nissan Rogue

While driving my wifes 2010 Nissan Rogue sl fwd is showed 62 miles left before empty on the fuel gauge. The car died on a winding back country road which is extremely dangerous if someone were to come over a blind hill and hit us. The car suddenly stopped running, I lost all power steering and power brakes. Got the car stopped and had to call the police to come out and flag down on-coming traffic that we were stopped ahead. The car would turn over but not start, acting as if it were out of gas even thought the fuel gauge said 60 miles to empty. Had to get a ride to get fuel and car started right up. This obviously shows that the fuel sending unit or gauge is not calibrated properly and caused a what could have been very dangerous or deadly situation. Apparently this is a known problem with Nissan Rogues as well as other models but no recall or TSB has been issued.

The fuel gauge does not register any change in the amount of fuel for the first 110 miles then registers a drop by one bar and then after a few miles returns to full. The fuel gauge then remains full until about 180 miles when it finally registers any loss, but not accurately.

After I filled up, the fuel gauge continued to register as full even as I continued to use up the gas in the tank. I understand that this is a "usual" problem with Nissans. I bought the car from carmax in December 2011, and it had approx. 13k miles on it. The problem did not appear until I had driven it for over 2k miles.
