My 05 Nissan Titan fuel gauge reads that I have a quarter of a tank left when I run out of gas. I have been told this is due to a faulty sending unit in the gas tank. This is disturbing because if I were to run out of gas on the highway or my wife has my truck and runs out of gas, the power steering shuts off when the truck dies from no fuel. This could cause a collision and result in serious injury or death. This is not a chance I am wanting to take with the lives of my family. This item has been recalled on other Nissan Titans, but when I called about mine it was said that it is not covered under the recall. I would like to make it known that the 2005 Nissan Titan crew cab se 4 wd . . VIN number [xxx]. . . Also has this problem and should be included in this recall. And the recall id # 49063 is for the fuel gauge system recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
The feel gauge does not show accurate gasoline levels. It does this regardless of speed or whether the vehicle is stationary. This is very unsafe as if you were traveling at high speeds and ran out of gas you could cause a crash. The fuel gauge can show you have half a tank but you only actually have a quarter of a tank. There is a recall for this for another model but not for mine.
I own a 2005 Nissan Titan. There is a safety recall NHTSA 10v074000 for a defective fuel gauge sending unit. The recall notice states; 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. My truck has precisely that problem, I have run out of gas on the road several times when the gauge shows 1/4 full. I set up an appointment for this recall and when I arrvied I was told I did not qualify. I called Nissan today and again was told I do not qualify though they could not tell me what VIN's or manufacturing dates qualify. I believe that since my truck exhibits the problem described in the recall, my vehicle should qualify for replacement of the fuel sender unit.
2005 Nissan Titan: fuel sender unit is not working correctly. Nissan states this year/model is not included in the current recall. Refused to fix . Tank shows 1/4 left in tank ,when it is actually empty.
