Same thing just happen to me about 4 days ago (currently showing 60miles) I'll be at the dealership Saturday morning before I hit 0.... Not taking no BS "unplug the battery resets" I want answers

Well update on mine.....I let the gauge, and tank get down to 1/4 and then filled it up. Gauge came up quickly and the DTE went to 680km's. As it should. Sigh....I don't know if I should complain to dealer or not...their fix, or excuses, may be worse than the issue.

It's probably not worth even mentioning this to the dealer because that's just how to car's fuel system gauge was developed and programmed from factory.

I have a 2024 Nissan Z performance 6MT with 4,888 miles. This happened to me today, on my way to work i refueled, I poured exactly $40 of gas which $38-$42 always fills up my tank but while on the road I notice the fuel gauge read a little above half a tank and the DTE read the same as the when I pulled up to the gas station, then a few minutes later the gauge shot up to full. I’ve fueled up several times and it’s now happening which the only thing I did different was before turning on the car I disengaged the handbrake while in neutral to move forward so my sister could get into the car without hitting the door on the pole by the pumps.

No issue with this..

but when i got home from the dealer i thought it was on empty because of the white line. i think the inverse would be better - a black line on a white background. And better yet have the line change color from green, yellow, red with the amount of fuel (gal / L) listed nearby and delete the red mark below the line.
