THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW HALF FULL AFTER BEING FILLED OR EVEN WHILE DRIVING. IT MAY ALSO SHOW EMPTY AT ANYTIME. IT MAY OR MAY NOT RETURN TO THE TRUE LEVEL IN THE TANK AT SOME POINT. YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK WITHOUT USING THE TRIP ODOMETER TO TRACK YOUR MILEAGE BETWEEN FILL UPS. THE GAUGE IS OPERATIONALLY USELESS. ADDITIONALLY, THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WITH THIS MAKING THE STATE INSPECTION A PROBLEM AND REQUIRING A REGULAR CHECK TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING ELSE HASN'T GONE WRONG. MONITOR CODE DISPLAYED IS PO463-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH INPUT. NISSAN REALLY NEEDS TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX WHATEVER THE PROBLEM MAY BE. THIS IS AN ONGOING DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR MANY NISSAN ROUGE OWNERS BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN IN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME PROBLEM POSTED TO THE INTERNET CAR FORUMS AND MY OWN EXPERIENCE.

The TPMS lamp for tire pressure sensor, stays on. It appears there may have been a recall on this. I just made a complaint about the passenger airbag light showing it does not sense when a passenger inns in the front passenger seat with seatbelt fastened and car is running or driving. I just bought this car from a private party. Below is the picture of the lighted TPMS pressure sensor lamp.

I MADE A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ON 9/05/2016 (NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10903665) AND HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO ADD. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN REP THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR. THEY SAID THE SENSOR WAS CHECKED IN 2008 AND WAS OK, THEREFORE, THEY WERE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY FAILURE OF THAT PART. THE ORIGINAL PART THAT WAS RECALLED IS THE PART THAT IS STILL IN MY VEHICLE. THAT PART HAS FAILED. I GOT RECORDS FROM THE NISSAN DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOR THAT RECALL AND THEY SHOW THAT THEY DID THE RECALL ON 12/01/2008 AND THEY ALSO SHOW THEY DID ANOTHER OCS INSPECTION ON 02/09/2010 DUE TO CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. EVIDENTLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH IT AT THAT TIME. THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE PART. MY GUESS IS THAT THEY RESET IT AND THAT WORKED AT THAT TIME. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT WOULD BE UNSAFE FOR ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THAT REQUIRES APPROXIMATELY $1,700 TO REPLACE A PART THAT IS UNDER RECALL BY NISSAN THAT THEY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR. THIS COMPANY NEEDS TO BE MADE TO BACK UP THE VOLUNTARY RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE NUMEROUS INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCIN THIS ISSUE. ALSO, PEOPLE CHECKING VIN NUMBERS TO SEE IF THEIR VEHICLE WAS PART OF THAT RECALL NEED TO LOOK FURTHER AS WHEN I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER IT DID NOT SHOW THAT IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT ACTUALLY WAS PART OF THAT RECALL.
