Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Nissan Titan

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that the fuel gauge malfunctioned and inaccurately displayed that fuel was in the vehicle when it was empty. The failure caused the vehicle to shut off because there was no fuel in the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for a diagnostic testing. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign id number 10v074000 (fuel system, other ); however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge displayed a reading indicating that fuel was in the fuel tank at the time of the failure. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred while driving 45 mph. The vehicle was taken to another independent repair shop and the contact was informed of the recall associated with NHTSA campaign id number 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 150,000.

The instrument panel fuel guage displayed that the vehicle still had fuel. The vehicle stalled on the highway, in traffic, and was out of gas. At the time we had no idea what was wrong and only knew it would not start. We had the vehicle towed to the Nissan dealership who diagnosed it was out of gas and the fuel sender was faulty. The fuel sender resides inside the fuel tank according to the dealership but they will not fix it at their expense. Our particular VIN # is not covered for the identical issue that is under a current recall.

At highway speed, vehicle shut off and would not restart stranding wife and kids on highway. The fuel gauge showed 1/4 tank of gas, but it was later found that the tank was empty. Same condition as documented in NHTSA campaign 10v074000, but Nissan corp. Stated that vehicle is not covered under previous recall because VIN range/manufacture date is prior to specifications of recall. Nissan has stated that there is nothing they can do and has offered no assistance in this matter. *safety issue - a major collision could have occurred at highway speed due to vehicle's inexplicable shut down.

1st incident occurred during rush hour traffic. I was driving around 25mph when my Titan started to stall and then came to a complete stop, was just about rear-end by delivery truck. I was stuck on the street in the middle of traffic for 2 hours before a tow truck was able to come tow truck. I had mechanic look it over and it came out that I had run out of gas, mechanic looked at fuel gauge and it was reading ¼ of tank but would not start. Once couple gallons were added truck started right up. Mechanic stated that fuel gauge is reading wrong, mechanic looked up to see if there was any recalls. There was a recall for the 2005 Nissan Titan for the fuel system not reading correctly. But dealer stated that my VIN number didn't fall into that recall. Mechanic stated it would be over $900 to fix. So I had to tell the mechanic not to fix it. Over the years, I have run out of gas about 3 more times due to the fuel gauge not reading correctly. Last time I ran out of gas my infant son was in truck and was just about side swiped from another vehicle at an intersection. I need to do what needs to be done to get my Nissan Titan added to this recall, I cannot afford to pay this to be fixed. Recall id #68299 ? fuel system, other: storage:fuel gauge system.

The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. The contact was driving 65 mph and towing an RV trailer when the sender unit shut off. The fuel level gauge would inaccurately display fuel levels and would show that the fuel tank was at least one quarter full when empty. The contact inquired with the dealer in regards to NHTSA recall campaign id number: 10v074000, (fuel system, other: storage: fuel gauge system) but was advised that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer confirmed that the vehicle was not under recall and provided no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 150,000. Updated 05/05/11 updated 05/13/11.

In August of 2010 was the first time I experienced a problem. The vehicle lost power and died while driving on a main street going approximately 45 mph. Later I discovered that the vehicle was out of gas despite the fuel gauge being at 1/4 tank. Today, after nearly 1 1/2 of keeping my truck above 1/4 tank and logging my miles, the vehicle engine power died on me and failed to start because once again it was out of fuel. . . This time reading just under 1/2 tank. Both situations are extremely unsafe and caused unnecessary stress. I've called the dealer and they are aware of problems with the fuel sending unit on the Nissan Titan model trucks but can not do anything without the official recall. It is widely known that there is a recall on some of the Nissan Titan models and should be extended throughout all of the failing fuel systems before myself or someone is faced with extreme injury.

I have a 2005 Nissan Titan. On may 7th I ran out of gas while my fuel gage was still showing 1/4 tank. I was on a fairly narrow state highway in wisconsin and came close to someone rear ending me while I was on the side of the road. I filed my complaint with Nissan and just heard back from them today that there is a recall on the 2005 Titan for this issue, but my VIN number was not included in the recall. Even though my truck is running out of fuel unexpectedly also.

For some reason my truck was not included in this recall and it should have been.

While putting gasoline into my 2004 Nissan Titan it spills back out of the tank. The gas will go into the tank then the pump will stop and then gas will spuw back out. This normally happens several times before I can get the tank full. This has happened more than one time, it happens anytime my tank is low and I am ready to fill up with gas. The tank has been replaced by the dealership. This has not solved the problem.
