Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Nissan Titan - part 2

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.

The vehicle showed 1/4 tank of gas, was running fine and suddenly shut off while a young girl 18 years old was driving home from dropping off siblings at school. At 55 mph there was no power brakes, no power steering while driving on a two lane road heavily traveled by 80 ton gravel trucks. Nissan knows this is a common problem and has had a number of Titans experience this issue caused by a faulty fuel level sensor. They did a TSB on all but 2004s even though they have the same part. Nissan required me to take it to a dealership for Nissan diagnostic ($93) even though the dealership already told me this was an issue and Nissan would probably cover it. The Nissan regional rep (amberlee) reimbursed the repair but refused the diagnostic fee she required me to get. Nissan denies responsibility for recalling these vehicles which they know can just shut off while driving. This is a very serious safety issue and needs to be recalled immediately!!.

Nhtsa recall 10v074000. (Nissan). The recall should apply to 2004 model Titans. Curiously it applies to the same make and model for years 2005-2009. In my case the fuel gauge never worked well (purchased new) but at least the low fuel warning gauge light came on. On October 21, 2014 the gauge completely malfunctioned. It stuck at approximately 1/3 of a tank and the vehicle ran out of gas (no light indicator) without warning. At 70 mph on a tollway, the vehicle lost all power. Given the significant risk to driver health and safety posed by this type of malfunction (which was curiously addressed for 2005 and thereafter) and the extreme risk of crash that it causes, the recall should be extended and not exclude the first model year of this car. Without power steering and brake control at 70mph, I was lucky on this occasion. Others may well not be.

Fuel does not read on instrument panel and it's hard to get gas to go into the tank, it wants to spray back out.

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.

Sunday evening my son was driving onto an entrance ramp to I-10 interstate when the truck died. Fuel gauge indicated truck had fuel. Would not start, left on side of interstate until next day. Bought some gas to put into tank which started the truck. He drove to fill tank ! fuel gauge inaccurately displays fuel reading. Called Nissan to informed them of my understanding that a fuel system recall. I was told I serviced my truck with this recall which I told corporate I was told there was no problem with my fuel system. I always ask for old parts but was not provided. Today, I took my truck to picayune Nissan to get info on cost, diagnostics for corporate for them to make decision to approve this recall work. I spoke with service manager that the dealership sends used parts to corporate because they paid for work. I ask I should have the right to inspect old worn parts?! dealership now wants to charge me about $400. 00 for this recall work. Why is a recall warranty allowed a one-time fix!?! lemon comes to mind!!!! thx.

I drove my Nissan out of the driveway, it started slipping, grinding. The transmission fluid check light would not come on at all, ever since I had it. Turns out transmission fluid tank empty. I was on major highway, could go 40 miles an hour, jerked out of gear with traffic behind me. Had tow it to transmission shop and transmission burned out. Faulty transmission light failed to warn me of problems. Nissan owners manual does not instruct you to check transmission fluid. It directs you to dealership. Had no warning light to alert me. Could have gotten killed.

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.

Nissan Titan fuel line cover made from soy material. Rodent and small animals are attracted to the soy material and chew through the line, causing fuel fumes or fuel to leak. This is a potential fire hazard. Nissan refuse to acknowledge or fix the issue. After contacting Nissan, Nissan advises customers to replace part and cost themselves, part is replaced with same material causing the same problem. Part is not just a fuel line, it is a whole fuel tank system as line is connected to the tank system. Some Nissan Titan owners have had to replace the fuel tank system more than once, because of the same problem repeating itself. When taking the vehicle to Nissan dealer for diagnostic treatment, Nissan trained mechanics acknowledge issue and admit it is an on going problem. If the dealership know about this issue, why is Nissan corporation not taking responsibility for a problem that is not a customers fault but an issue that started from the vehicle manufacture part at assembly, it is a Nissan problem. This is not a vehicle usage problem, it is not a vehicle maintenance issue, it is a part/assembly issue by the Nissan company. A simple online research for this issue has brought up numerous findings for Nissan Titan owners having the same issue. Vehicles carry static electricity, it takes one spark or stopping the vehicle over one carelessly discarded cigarette for any Nissan Titan to catch fire. Nissan should take concern into resolving this matter and protect their Nissan drivers from driving basically a potential accident/death machine waiting to happen.

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.

My 2006 Nissan Titan has been in the shop 4 different times to have the fuel sending unit replaced. The first time the gauge was stuck on quarter of a tank of fuel when I ran out and stuck on the side of the road during a business lunch. Each time after was different points on the gauge, but always the same problem. Each time they claim the problem has been fixed with the unit, but my truck and I disagree.

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.

2008 Titan 4x4 se crew cab. Fuel gauge not reporting correctly. Tank filled to full. Start the truck up it reads 3/4 full, drive 10 miles it slowly works up to full. There are several Titan owners complaining about this with every model and year. . Read more...

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.

My fuel gauge reads 1/4 tank when I have no gas in the tank. It will go back to partial full when I fill up but then it will show 1/4 tank after a period of driving. There is no rhyme or reason or accuracy. Why was the 2004 not recalled for this when every year afterwards was recalled for this problem. ? I have contacted Nissan and they will not respond.

There is a recall on the gas gauge for the 2005 Nissan Titan but my 2004 Nissan Titan has been having the problem with the gas gauge registering more and sometimes less gas than is actually in the vehicle for the last ten years but it was not included and the dealer refused to make the repair. How can I get this issue repaired by the dealer? sometimes the gas gauge will drop all the way to empty when it has more than half a tank of gas.

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.

Gas gauge reads inaccurately. Gas gauge will drop a 1/4 of a tank randomly. Brought to dealers attention on 5/16/06, nothing was ever done about it. Now 2005-2009 model years are part of a recall but not model year 2004?.

Since the vehicle was new the fuel gauge has never shown the correct reading on the fuel in the tank. It will never register "full" and will run out of gas when it still shows 1/8 of a tank left. I complained to the dealer and they replaced the gauge with another one just like it that also doesn't work properly.
