3 dots on the fuel gauge.

Long high G right hand turn.

No dots on fuel gauge...

Motor shuts off, won't re-fire, Wife brings gas can with a gallons of gas. Re-fires and runs rough for 10 seconds, then low and behold have 3 dots on fuel gauge again and runs just fine...

Known issue... poor fuel tank design on Nissan's part... Just the first time I had ever experienced that issue.
