Other Fuel System Tank Mounting problems of the 2005 Nissan Titan

Instrument panel fuel gauge not properly reading amount of fuel in tank. This caused the vehicle to run out of gas and stall on the city street, which could have caused a crash.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a gas station to get fuel, the gauge did not reflect the amount of fuel inside the tank. The contact stated that the failure started to occurred approximately a month ago ( every time the vehicle was fueled ). The vehicle was taken to the dealer bill seidles Nissan, 10500 NW 12th st, miami, FL 33172, they determined that the fuel sending unit failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case number: 37522490 was filed. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000. Bp.

Was accelerating after coming to a stop at a stop sign. Got up to about 15 mph when all of a sudden the engine died in the middle of traffic. Tried to restart but could not. Coasted into a side street. Fuel guage indicated that the vehicle still had 1/8 of a tank of fuel. After putting in about a half of a gallon of gasoline was able to get to a gas station. Once truck was full it ran with no problem. A week later I ran the fuel down to the same amount (1/8) where the truck had died before. This time I had a spare gas can with me. The vehicle died again.

I've had two incidents where my truck has run out of gas due to the fuel gauge displaying the wrong amount of gas in the tank. There has been a recall on 2005 - 2009 Titans for this specific problem yet my vehicles VIN hasn't been associated with the recall. I've contacted two local dealers and the Nissan company directly for a resolution but I've been told that I would have to repair the problem myself. Is there anything that can be done concerning this discrepancy? thank you for your time.
