2008 Nissan Rogue

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 NISSAN ROGUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REED NISSAN CLERMONT (16005 STATE ROAD 50, CLERMONT, FL) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSORS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 29282603. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 134,058.

I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK ON 10/8/17 AND THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED ONE BAR LESS THAN FULL. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THAT MY FUEL SENDING UNIT HAS BROKEN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. THE 1ST TIME ON 6/26/10, THE 2ND TIME ON 3/30/11 (REPORTED 3/30/11, REPAIRED 4/13/11), THE 3RD TIME ON 6/6/12 (REPORTED 6/6/12, REPAIRED 6/12/12), THE 4TH TIME ON 6/3/13 (REPORTED 6/3/13, REPAIRED 6/17/13), AND NOW THE 5TH TIME ON 10/8/17. I BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE MALFUNCTIONING FUEL SENDING UNIT ON 10/13/17. BUT, THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND THEY HAD NO DISCRETION OR ABILITY TO MAKE A REPAIR OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I NEEDED TO CALL CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I CALLED CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 10/13/17 AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION TO TWO INDIVIDUALS. BOTH WOMEN ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT WASN'T ACCEPTABLE THAT I'M NOW DEALING WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT A REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS SPECIALIST WOULD REVIEW THE CASE AND MY SERVICE RECORDS, AND THEN CONTACT ME WITH A DECISION. AFTER BACK AND FORTH WITH THE SPECIALIST AND HER SUPERVISOR, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE REJECTING MY CASE BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I QUESTIONED THAT AS A REASON, GIVEN I WAS DIRECTED TO THIS GROUP FOR AN 'OUT OF WARRANTY' REVIEW. I EXPLAINED AGAIN THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM REPEATEDLY. THIS HAD RESULTED IN THE SAME PART BEING REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. AND EACH OF THOSE TIMES, IT BROKE ' POINTING TO EITHER FAULTY PARTS BEING INSTALLED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, OR IMPROPER INSTALLATION WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COULD RESULT IN SOMEONE RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING. NISSAN DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TAKING THE ISSUE SERIOUSLY. AND A BASIC GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. CAR: STATIONARY PART: FUEL SENDING UNIT

GAS GAUGE SHOW EMPTY SOMETIMES WHEN ITS ON HALF TANK THEN THE ENGINE LIGHTS TURN ON,WHEN GET FULL TANK AND RUN FOR 2 HRS THE ENGINE LIGHTS GOES OFF BUT WHEN GAS TANK GET TO HALF, SOMETIMES WHEN ENGINE STARTS THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY TANK AGAIN AND THEN IN SHORT TIME THE GAUGE START GOING UP AGAIN BUT NOT SURE IF ITS READING RIGHT FILL OF GAS. SOMEBODY SAID IT MIGHT A PROBLEM ON GAS VALVE THAT THE SPRING WON'T WORK GOOD. IT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME ANYWHERE ALL THE TIME, IN MOTION OR IN STOP.

WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE CAR WILL JUST STOP GOING. THE CAR WILL STILL RUN JUST WILL NOT MOVE NO MATTER HOW FAR YOU PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WILL EVENTUALLY KICK BACK IN AND WORK. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS. NO LIGHTS COME ON DASH EITHER. THIS WAS A USED VEHICLE PURCHASE AND HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS FROM 1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASE TILL NOW. STARTED AT 180000 MILES BUT AS MILES WENT UP IT HAS GOTTEN MORE FREQUENT.
