Fuel gauge on 2006 nissan frontier indicated 1/4 tank of fuel when it was actually empty. I ran out of gas on a busy highway, very dangerous exit to side of road. *kb

After filling gas tank it drops to empty and service engine light comes on. After 43 miles it goes back up and then seems to work until next fill up. If idling in park for a few minutes it drops to empty again. Then the next day it goes back up again. It is a constant problem and i never know how much gas i have other than tracking mileage. Recall many others with same problem. Thanks. *kb
