What owners wrote
Vehicle dies running without warning at any speed after the engine has reached normal running temp. So far only occurs in below 32 degree outside temps. Usually restarts (once didn't at all) continues to die after about 1/10 of a mile 2 or 3 times and most of the time I can inch my way home. Problem has not been diagnosed by dealer because they cannot duplicate it.
Fuel gauge is not reading correctly repeatedly have to top off my tank that costs me more money than it should to get back and forth to work because I ran out of gas and it costed me $200 to figure out that I need something done about the gas gauge there's so many complaints about this why has it nissan done something about it they should not be able to just let this problem go on and stick the customers that pay thousands of dollars for the vehicles.
