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

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.

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

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.

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. |

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.
