I had my fuel senders replaced last week after three different trips to the dealer regarding this issue. The last light has been out for 4-5 tanks in a row before I had it replaced. Before that, it was working intermittently.
The service advisor said that the fuel sender was bent, hence not reading all the way full. Which is strange because they didn't say anything about a bent sender when they took it apart the first time. I hope this fixes it. |

More Problems
Starting to get crazy readings on gas just like everyone else.... seriously doubt that Techron has anything to do with it.
P.S. Mazda, Ford, BMW, Audi, and now my Nissan all have fuel problems :0) |

Apologies for bringing back an old thread, just for updating purposes.
When I bought my car, the dealership filled it up. I noticed the last LED wasn't lit, I wasn't about to complain since I figured the gas card must max out at 50 bucks or something. Just filled it up Sunday and noticed the last LED still wasn't lit. It actually makes me laugh that something this stupid went wrong. Depending on how I feel about it in the next month, I may take it into the dealership.

Me Too!
I had defective Fuel senders @ 8k on my '09.
Problem is, if the Tech doesn't "see" the issue himself, they are hesitant to fix it. The dealer spent a few hours "inspecting" the car, and didn't find anything so I drove to a local gas station with a Tech sitting shotgun and he saw with his own eyes the fuel gauge not liighting up. The Service Advisor had no choice but to order the parts and ok the fix P.S. This was a big problem on the 350z's and a buddy of mine went thru 3 sender units within 36k mi. warranty and at 38k it failed again. Once his gauge hits mid tank, it just drops |

Yup, still under warranty. I also have the extended warranty. This kind of sucks though. I hate having to get warranty work done.
