2009 Murano LE: Fuel gauge does not egister after car is turned on when car is parked in slant for several hours with passenger side downhill. Typically happens with fuel >1/4 tank. After driving to level ground, stopping engine and restarting, fuel gauge is OK. My suspicion is that the tank gauge is on the driver side of the tank and registers zero fuel because gauge is on uphill side and fuel is on downhill side.

Have not talked to dealer yet. No big problem, just a quirk you might want to be aware of.

Welcome to NICOclub! Glad to have you here, hope you enjoy the Murano forum!

Sounds interesting, I would keep an eye on it and if it continues, call the dealer and see what their ideas might be.
