Why worry about the top of the guage? It's the bottom, when it gets there, that needs attention.

Just curious, but how long does this repair take, and what are the odds of the problem happening again?

four pages on this thread, yet, NO one reporting this issue has gone to the dealer.. if it was happening to me, i would at least get it checked out and report was the issue could be.

Why would anyone want to go and have this issue fixed? It seems to me that the top segment on the fuel gauge is the least important part of the thing. Now, if the bottom segment didn't work.... THAT would be an issue.



wow! A colossal waste of time and effort!

Although top segment may be failing and not a cause a concern for you, it well would be a symptom of a bigger problem i.e. fuel sensor, relay,etc.. which could cause the entire display to not work correctly causing a much larger problem, hence, better to get it checked out and not a colossal waste of time and effort.

And... it's ridiculous to have a brand new car with this issue.

Also, if it's still under warranty, why not?

I only didn't go before becuse I thought the problem was fuel additive related -- now I'm not so sure.

It will be off by one after a fill-up, and then correct itself next day :confused:

its the fuel gauge sensor.

I don't think so. The sender has a levered electrical motion. If there was an issue, it would be the whole distance. Not just one segment on the dash gauge. Again, not an issue you should be concerned with, IMHO.

I got my 370z nismo about a month ago. First filled it up at a shell and didnt notice the problem. Then have been using only Cheveron gas since and have noticed the light not on after the last two fill ups. Car only has just over 15k on it and is a 2009. I'm going to take my car in soon for some other concerns I have, does this have anything to do with the display also reading the incorrect "Miles to go" gauge? After my last fill up it never went above 200 miles left in the tank and I put more than 16 gallons in.

^^^ Yeah I think all of those computations are thrown off by this problem.

damn, seems like nissan just can't source a decent FSU (fuel sending unit). Our xterra has had it's FSU replaced once already under warrantee and apparantly it's a huge issue for the X's, Frontiers, Pathfinders. Didn't think it'd be an issue with the Z's too.

Knock on wood, so far no problems with our Z.

im having this issue as well has anyone yet taken to dealer and how long was the repair i work full time and cant live without my car. so still no one knows wats causing this

so just got my car back from the stealership and they change the whole guage cluster and guess wat the last led still dont work so they want me to bring it back in. i told them about how ppl say its the fuel sender but they wanted to change the whole cluster first. well will see wat they say when i bring it in today again. i dont mind its all under warrenty but only thing sux is i gotta get a rental car and pay for insurance so i lose 9 dollars a day

Thanks for the update. I'm curious to see what the dealership finds the second time around. I just filled up and the last 2 LEDs didn't light up...the next morning...the last LED didn't light up...

Did anyone get a fix to this problem yet? I am also having the same problem. I want to find out if there is a fix before I take it into the dealer, I want to guide them to the answer if one is alreayd there.
