Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Nissan Titan - part 1

The instrument panel fuel gauge inaccurately displays that the vehicle still has some fuel, at one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is actually empty. This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall on the highway, which could cause a crash. There is a recall for this but was told that my truck was not affected even though it is having the same issue.

I was driving on a city street and stopped for a red traffic signal to make a right turn onto a highway. Without any warning the engine suddenly stopped running. I was unable to restart the engine. I was blocking the lane of traffic to enter the highway. I had to have the vehicle towed as it would not start and it was a traffic hazard/blocking traffic. The vehicle was towed to an auto repair shop. The mechanic discovered the vehicle's gas tank was completely empty, despite the fuel gauge showing the gas tank just over 1/4 tank full. The mechanic found a recall notice, NHTSA recall bulletin #10v074000 for my vehicle, 2005 Nissan Titan, describing the exact defect that my vehicle experienced; "the fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about 1/4 tank, when the fuel tank is empty. " I took my vehicle to a Nissan dealer and they told me that my vehicle is not included in this recall due to the VIN, even though it is the same year/make/model, 2005 Nissan Titan, and has the exact same defect as the one described in the above mentioned NHTSA recall bulletin. Had I entered the highway when the engine stopped suddenly without warning, I most likely would have crashed. See the attached diagnostic repair invoice, NHTSA recall bulletin #10v074000, and Nissan service bulletin. I believe that my vehicle is or should be included in the existing NHTSA recall and Nissan should comply with the recall and repair the defect at no cost to me.

My 2005 Nissan tornadoes in the middle of the oklahoma turnpike and interstate I-44 causing one of the lanes to be temporarily closed. After warrington a tow truck and being towed to the nearest Nissan dealership, I was informed that the only issue was the fuel gauge was not registering the correct level of gas in the vehicle. Although the gauge read 3\8 of a tank remaining, there was no fuel in the truck. The Nissan mechanics said this was a recall on this year Titan, but once he checked the VIN, my vehicle was not listed as part of the recall. This is an extreme safety issue as the vehicle can die at any time in any conditions causing lane closures or wrecks due to the sudden fuel issue with no warning. If Nissan has recalled for this exact issue on the 2005 Titan, and this issue is affecting a 2005 Titan, I believe without doubt they have mistakenly omitted certain VIN numbers. If this issue ultimately causes injury or in the worst scenario, a fatality due to their vehicle dying in the middle of a traffic situation, Nissan should take responsibility and be held accountable.

Fuel gage shows 1/4 tank left of fuel but car out of fuel while driving on the road.

While driving on a busy city street, my 2005 Nissan Titan shut off unexpectedly, causing me to be stalled in the lane of travel. The vehicle would not restart and I was forced to push it out of the lane of travel into a nearby business parking lot. The engine would turn over but would not start. The fuel gauge read just over 1/4 tank and no trouble lights were illuminated and all gauges were within normal range. I wanted to try the most simple thing first so I had my son bring a fuel can to me to see if the tank was empty. This ended up being the case and the vehicle restarted and I stopped at the first fuel station and filled the tank up. The gauge went to full after refueling. I reset my trip odometer after refueling to watch the mileage in case the gauge malfunctioned again and it did. The gauge will not move below 1/4 tank. Nissan issued recall #10v074000 on 3-3-2010 for this exact issue. The recall covers the fuel sending unit which causes the fuel gauge to inaccurately display remaining fuel. I contacted Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 and the phone rep looked up my VIN and told me there were no recalls on my vehicle. My Titan is within the vehicle year range (2005-2009) the recall covers and is presenting with this exact issue.

The fuel gauge is reading 1/4 tank and I was driving on interstate when my car shut off-- the reading was incorrect-- I was out of gas-- I had to get car towed-- had family in car could have caused an accident-- there is a recall out for this year make and models but not for my car?? recall number: 10v074000.

I have had the truck for about 3 years and its getting worse fuel tank is hard to fill and makes a whistling sound.

When exiting highway engine quit running. Fuel tank showed 1/4 tank left. Highway support vehicle stop to help, gave me some gas, about 1 gallon. Still would not start, had vehicle towed. Put 2 more gallons of fuel in tank, vehicle started. Found a NHTSA campaign id number 10v074000, for 2005-2009 Titan's for this exact same problem, but for some reason my Titan is not covered even though it's a 2005. I have called my local dealer and Nissan customer service with no help. Just asking why my Titan is not covered? I have uploaded a file of the campaign id number.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 80 mph, the vehicle stalled. No warning indicators illuminated. The fuel gauge reflected a quarter of tank available. The contact coasted to the shoulder. The contact called a family member to bring some fuel, as soon as the fuel was added the vehicle started normally. The contact also stated that the failure occurred three other times and when fuel was added the vehicle started. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for a diagnosis. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 210,000. Bp.

I have run out of gas twice while I was driving. The gas gauge still showed over a quarter of a tank. Both times I was on a residential street. I lost power steering and brakes.

Driving down a busy road on my way home from work and vehicle sputters as if out of fuel until it died. Could not get truck to crank and was clearly a lack of fuel. Fuel gauge read 1/4 tank full exactly as described in campaign 10v074000. Fortunatrly a police officer assisted in pushing my truck into a parking lot. I called a family member to drive up with a gas container to put a few gallons in. Sure enough, cranked right up. The following day, I contacted Nissan of USA, my vehicle was not included in the campaign and because of the age and mileage of my truck I would not receive assistance in the repair of this manufacturer defect.

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan that the fuel gauge will read no lower than a quarter of a tank. I have called several times about the recall #10v074000. That recall is for 2005 Nissan Titans with this same problem. They however deny the claim because it doesn't include my VIN number. I feel that this VIN number should be covered under this recall as well.

Gas gauge will only read down to a 1/4 tank level. This causes errors in determining how much fuel is in the tank. I have run out of fuel in heavy traffic which is dangerous and could create cause for collision. This malfunction needs to be improved/.

When fuel gauge gets to about a quarter of a tank it no longer reads it stays on the same spot. Leaving you to believe you have fuel when you don�t.

My fuel gauge stops dropping once it gets between 1/2 and 1/4 tank of gas. I all ways check my and reset my trip odometer and know when I need to refuel but my fuel gauge does not match what my trip odometer is reading. I went online and checked to find out if there was a recall on this problem and discovered that there is a safety recall on 340,000 2005 Titans but not for mine. Not sure why some 2005 Titans are in the recall but not all even though many more have the same exact problem. Seems to me a safety recall should be for all affected vehicles and not just some. Mine and my families safety should be just as important to nssan.

I was driving and made a turn from one major street to the next. I merged into the middle lane of a 3 lane road and my truck completely lost power. The vehicle behind me squealed its tires to avoid running into the back of me. I let the truck continue to move without applying brakes or I would have ended up stalled in the middle of a 3 lane busy road. The truck wouldn't even turn into the very right land without me turning the wheel hard. I pulled off onto a side street and called aaa. The vehicle register at a 1/4 of a tank of gas. The aaa driver added $2 worth of gas to the tank but it did not start. I was towed to a aaa approved shop about 2 miles away and when the shop owner went to take the truck off the tow bed it started right up. The owner said that it was just out of gas even though the gauge read a 1/4 of a tank. I went directly to a gas station and it took 25. 695 gallons of gas. There is a recall for 2005 Nissan Titans but my VIN number is not pulling it up. Nhtsa campaign number 10v074000 instrument panel fuel gauge.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the instrument panel fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one-quarter tank, when the fuel tank is empty. No warning light illuminated. The dealer was not contacted about the failure. The failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed to the contact that no recalls were under the VIN. The failure mileage was 125,000. Ck.

On February 25, 2017 my son was going down the road and his 2005 Nissan Titan truck completely died, lost all power steering, brakes, everything. My son was able to get the truck off the busy road without getting rear ended, which was hard to do for a 20 year old. Once we had the vehicle diagnosed, we were told it was a faulty fuel level sensor unit. The vehicle showed over 1/4 of a tank of gas, but in fact, it was empty. Upon doing some research, I found other 2005 Nissan Titan's were recalled with this same issue, however, Nissan told me, that my VIN was not involved in the recall. This concerns me because my son could have been seriously injured or killed from the truck dying as he was going 50 mph down the road. I have tried to speak with Nissan, asking them to look into my particular vehicle, since there is a past history of this part failing on other Titans. After 3 phone calls, all they will tell me is, it isn't their fault, the vehicle is out of warranty and recall doesn't involve my VIN. I again asked them to consider expanding the recall to include my vehicle and was told no. The truck is currently in the shop to get this fixed, but it's a shame that Nissan won't even consider looking into this when they know it's an issue with other Titans. This truck has been in the family since it was purchased brand new.

The fuel gauge does not read correctly below approximately a quarter tank. It occasionally will stick and fluctuate but always around a quarter tank and below. The first time I realized the problem I had to have my truck towed home, thinking it was something major when all I did was run out of gas.

Lost power to vehicle while driving, power steering, brakes, etc. Narrowly avoided accident. Gas gauge indicated a quarter tank of gas when it was actually empty. Contacted Nissan, they said there was recall for this for the year make and model, but my VIN was not included in the recall.

Driving to work in the morning rush hour traffic, at approx 65 mph, I experienced my 2005 Nissan Titan shut completely down losing all power to the engine resulting in a loss of power to all supporting engine accessories including the power steering and abs. I attempted to restart the vehicle while driving, by down shifting to neutral, which failed. Fortunately I was able to find a find a spot to pull over on the side of the busy highway and call for roadside assistance. It was later determined that I had run out of fuel, despite the fuel gauge showing well over 1/4 of a tank of usable fuel. At this point I discovered a recall campaign for the 2005 - 2009 Nissan Titan instrument panel fuel gauge (NHTSA campaign number: 10v074000) and proceeded to call the phone number listed in the remedy portion of the recall. When speaking with Nissan it was determined that my VIN wasn't included in the recall campaign, and an appointment was made at the local Nissan dealership by Nissan consumer affairs to confirm my finding and see if they would be able to complete the repair for me under the recall. When I brought my vehicle to my local Nissan dealership they informed me that the vehicle VIN wasn't apart of the recall, but did see a service bulletin associated with that make and model. It was ultimately determined they wouldn't be able to recover warranty money from Nissan, and informed me that I would need to pay for the repair out of pocket. Bottom line, it came down to a monetary issue not a safety factor issue for Nissan. It was obvious my vehicle experienced the same potential consequences as the other 2005 Nissan Titan VIN's in the recall campaign. However, based on my experience in trying to resolve this matter, it is obvious Nissan feels the the onus of liability ultimately falls on me as a consumer and not them, if I would like to operate my vehicle in a safe manner.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the fuel tank was empty and needed fuel in order to start the vehicle. Also, the technician noticed that the fuel gauge read a quarter tank full. As a result, the technician diagnosed that the fuel sender unit inside the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other). The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

While driving with my family, my Titan ran out of gas while the gauge showed 1/4 tank, stranding myself, my pregnant wife and 2yr old daughter in a dangerous area, and in the middle of a busy street. I had to get out and push the truck to a parking lot. I then walked two miles to get 2 gallons of gas, forced to leave my family with the stranded truck(my wife can't walk that far right now). I returned, put the 2 gallons in the tank and it started right up. I called the dealer, which gave me a lousy excuse as to why thousands of these trucks were recalled because of this same issue, except mine. They offered to give me a great deal. 600 dollars for the repair when the part costs $77. Then just last week the truck ran out of gas, this time on the freeway, nearly causing an accident with a semi truck, while showing almost 1/2 tank. Upon researching this issue, I have discovered that thousands of Titan owners are having the same problem and not being covered under the recall. I contacted the bar and after their investigation, the dealer disclosed that all Titans were made with the defective fuel level sensor, and that the dealer was replacing these parts every day, not covered by the recall. To sum it up, I spent good money for a truck that I thought would be a safe vehicle for myself and my family, which it is not. I'm very serious I was almost killed when it happened on the freeway. I have owned a lot of vehicles, and have never ever heard of such a safety issue that isn't addressed by recalls. Basically this truck is a death trap, it's only a matter of time until something tragic happens, all because Nissan will not own up to their faulty parts. In fact they are very disrespectful, and unprofessional when talking to them about it. I will never purchase another Nissan again, knowing how unsafe they are and the way they treat their loyal customers after a purchase.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated the fuel gauge failed and displayed a quarter tank when the fuel tank was empty. The manufacturer stated the VIN was not included in NHTSA recall campaign number 10v074000 (fuel system, other). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000. The current mileage was 105,320.

Certain 2005 Nissan Titans were recalled in campaign #10v074000 due to the fuel gauge showing that there was fuel remaining when the tank was actually empty. This occurred to my vehicle in February 2013. The vehicle shut down and I lost power steering. I was luckily able to turn with enough force to leave the roadway. After contacting Nissan, they declared my vehicle was not part of the recall and was not affected although I was having the exact same issue.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that NHTSA campaign number 10v074000 (fuel system, other) was performed; however the failure was not corrected. The fuel gauge failed to register when the fuel tank was full or empty. The manufacturer was made aware or the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000 and the current mileage was 91,000. Li.

Traveling at 65 mph when the vehicle ran out of gas. The fuel gauge indicated that there was between 1/4 and 1/8 of a tank remaining and the low fuel warning light had not come on. Multiple attempts to restart the engine were unsuccessful. Upon adding 1. 5 gallons of fuel the vehicle re-started on the first try so it was definitely out of gas. Nissan has a recall for this very issue but I was told it does not cover my VIN# although it is for some vehicles of my make and model year. I paid to have the fuel sensor in the gas tank repaired and the problem went away immediately and has not resurfaced. Nissan may need to expand their recall as my vehicle definitely experienced the symptoms of the recalled vehicles.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that she pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and noticed that the fuel gauge displayed a reading of one quarter of a tank but was actually empty. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired where they informed that the Titan sender unit fuel gauge needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 32,000.

I was driving home on a state route with a speed limit of 55 mph. The vehicle indicated there was 1/4 of a tank of fuel left and then the engine abruptly shut off while I was going 55 mph with traffic behind me and very limited run off on the side of the highway. When the vehicle shut off I lost all power steering and the vehicle became very hard to stop. Luckily I was in a truck and was able to pull of onto the grass on the side of the road, otherwise it may have caused an accident. I did a little research and found there was already an incident filed for this, but when I called somehow my vehicle wasn't covered, even though my symptoms matched the NHTSA recall 10v07400 exactly. It was a very scary experience and could have been much worse had the road been busier or I hadn't pulled off. I had to wait for gas on a very busy road with very little room between my truck and other traffic. I think if my vehicle isn't covered under the recall it should be expanded since it was the exact same scenario as other Nissan's were having, and could have been much worse.

Fuel gauge bouncing around going from a half a tank of gas to a quarter tank of gas. Call Nissan dealership also company. They said there is no recall for the fuel sending unit. But I see on their website that there is.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The fuel level gauge displayed the fuel tank as being one quarter tank full. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and upon further inspection, it was discovered that the fuel gauge malfunctioned and was providing inaccurate fuel level readings. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system). The failure mileage was 126,000 and the current mileage was 137,405.

My truck stopped one Sunday I was sitting at the red light. I tried to start it but it wouldn't start so I called a tow truck and had it towed to the Nissan dealership. On Monday morning I get a call from the service department and they told me my truck was out of gas. I told them that I had a little bit over a quarter tank of gas in it. He told me that they would call me back after a complete check. They called back and told me that my truck needed a fuel sender unit and a fuel ring, I told them to go ahead and repair it. On Tuesday I went and picked up my truck and they explained to me that my fuel leveling sensor shorted out. I paid a total of 515. 88 plus 65. 00 for towing on something that had a recall on it. I don't know if they knew it was under recall or not but I would like to find out if I paid for something that should have been covered under the recall. I have my receipts and it shows the dates of the incident came after the recall dates.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. While driving approximately 7 mph, the engine stalled because the fuel gauge reading was inaccurate. The fuel tank was empty. The vehicle was coasted to a safe location and refueled. In 2014, the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other); however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. In addition, when the vehicle was parked with a quarter tank of fuel, the reading would display less after returning to the vehicle. The failure occurred intermittently. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

I was on my way home, from an errand. The engine began to run irregularly, then shut off. At first I did not think I was our of gas because the fuel gauge indicated that there was 1/4 tank of gas. After I tried a few times and failed to get it started I walked to a gas station and got gas, put it in the tank and my vehicle started. At the time of this incident I was fortunate that I was able to coast into a wide driveway and avoid being rear ended.

I was riding down i25 when my truck engine unexpectedly quit. At 75 mph it was all I could do to change lanes and pull over to the median without causing an accident. The fuel gauge showed that I still had 1/4 tank of gas. I tried repeatedly to start the truck without success. After scratching my head for a while I called my son to bring me some gas. After adding gas the truck started up after a few turns of the ignition. Not knowing what the heck had happened I continued driving the truck. Unfortunately I ran out of gas again some week later, this time in a neighborhood where the speed issue was not quite as severe. Since that time I've ignored my fuel gauge and determined when to refuel by mileage. This is really aggrivating because there is a recall on Titan fuel senders for model year 2005. However Nissan is telling me that my VIN is not covered by the recall.
