I was driving down a main road by my office, accelerating when the car suddenly stalled. As the truck was independently decelerating, the steering wheel became hard to steer due to the truck being "off". I managed to force it to turn to a shoulder so as to not get rear ended by vehicles behind me. I could've been on the highway with traffic speeds up to 70mph and it would've been a different scenario. I later found out that the 1/4 fuel on the gauge was faulty and I was out of gas. I went to the NHTSA website to find out 2005 model Titans were included in the recall but not my 2004.
1/ I was driving on highway when truck just shut down. Fuel gauge reads that truckhas 1/4 tank left of fuel but gas tank empty. 2/ while driving the brake pedal goes to the floor like it has no brakes. I check the fluids and its full. Turn the truck off and on and it works again.
Cruise control will stop when hitting a bump fuel spills out whilst trying to put gas into the truck. Certain times the brakes want work until you put the truck in the parking position.
The contact owns a 2004 Nissan Titan. While driving, the fuel gauge displayed 1/4 tank of fuel; however, the vehicle ran out of fuel. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to fenton Nissan of knoxville (4515 clinton hwy, knoxville, tn 37912), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer informed the contact to call NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 212,000. The VIN was not available.
Cannot put gas in vehicle without blow back. "check engine soon" light came on about a week ago and when I went to fill with gas...had blow back. Code was P1446...vent valve closed. Replaced vent valve solenoid, cleared code. Light stayed off for 2 days and then I tried to fill tank...got blow back again and "check engine soon" light came back on just 2 miles down the road after filling on a city street now what "?"

For the last several years I've been fighting an evap problem. It started 5 yrs ago when it wouldn't let me fill it with gas. Then months later it got worse N worse where it would take 20min to fill tank. I've replaced purge vale 3 ties in last several years and it works great then 6 months later back to same routine. There needs to be a better fix to address this issue N I know it's old but there's thousands of people dealing with this issue
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.
Ever since I have owned the vehicle, the fuel gauge would never read full but stop at 7/8 of a tank. Not a big deal but last night my gauge read between 1/8 and 1/4 tank and I ran out of gas on a main road at night. The fuel light never came on and normally does when I am low on fuel. Doing research on this I found that there is a recall for 2005-2009 Titans for this same exact issue but not 2004. Reading the full description of the recall, it 100% reflects the same issue that I am having. I called Nissan and spoke to a representative and she says my vehicle does not apply to any recalls. She said to take the vehicle to the dealership to have them look at but for them to diagnose, they will have to drop the fuel tank which will cost quite a bit. I looked on other forums and this seems to of been a very common issue with 2004 model year but why it was not included in the recall is beyond me. This needs to be resolved because now I have no idea how much fuel is actually in my tank and I would rather this not happen again. I got lucky with the spot I was in where my truck stalled on a very busy road and did not get into an accident. I have attached the original recall notice for the 2005-2009 model year.
Was coming from daughters game and I made a left turn outta parking lot all of a sudden a hear a noise and then grinding. I inspected brakes and underneath vehicle I noticed fluid all over front diff. I got underneath grabbed my drivers side axle and shook it. It came apart and was coming out of diff. A month earlier I noticed rear diff had oil all over it and oil was leaking out of rear pinion seal and both rear axle seals, due to axle breather failure. I have never went off-roading or beat this truck. I am also experiencing gas shooting back out of my fuel tank filler tube. I have had my vehicle to local dealer 2 or 3 times regarding this issue and it seems as if it's a guessing game. I have spent over 300 bucks there and my problem still exists. Then they guess again and says its something else. I know for sure this vehicle has had a rear end or rear diff already put in with very very low miles, with 1 St owner. I am being told that my last issue with front axle was C clip holding axle in failed and may have ruined my front diff, I traveled no more than 2 miles before I heard noise and I'm looking at a 1900 part not including labor.
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.
I was on my way home from work when my low fuel indicator light came on; my gauge showed approximately 1/8 remaining. This was normal, and the point where the low fuel light normally turned on. The next morning, on my way to work, the light turned off and the needle showed just over 1/8 tank. This was also normal for the light to switch on and off as the level teetered around the switch point. A few miles into my trip, the needle jumped to around 1/4 tank, which was not necessarily normal, but I had no reason to question the level based on the previous accuracy of my gauge. Halfway to work I lost power, and had to pull over on a busy highway. My truck would not start, although it still showed 1/4 tank remaining. I did an internet search on my phone for /2004 Titan fuel gauge problem/ and immediately got rashes of hits for descriptions exactly like mine where their Titans showed 1/4 tank remaining, but ran out of fuel. After walking a 4 mile round-trip to the nearest gas station and back, I put gas in the tank, and drove to work. After a quick internet search I found a recall NHTSA# 10V074000 for 2005-2009 Titans (mine is a 2004) and Nissan service bulletin EL08-013A for 2004-2009 Titans. I was told by the dealership and Nissan America that my vehicle is not included in the recall, and will not be covered. I am fine with a fuel sensor failing after 186,000 miles and not being covered, but not if identical vehicles (2005-2009) with identical hardware are being recalled and recognized as having safety issues. The internet is full of people complaining about this issue on their 2004 Titans, and they need to be included in the recall.
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 ([xxx]) 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!! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
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.
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.
I was traveling towing a 33 ft camper. Usually tow at about 62 mph. All of a sudden the truck cuts out then turns back on and "bucks". my lights on my dash light up like a color blinking christmas tree. My speedometer goes all the way to 140 mph, my rpms max out, my fuel gauge goes up and down along with the temp gauge. Furthermore all the gauges and warning lights flash or move in no form or fashion. Steering gets stiff along with the brakes because the truck shuts off. I controlled the truck to avoid crashing in between the on and off periods. This happened several times. Thought it was wiring from camper or brake controller. However, over the last few weeks from about mid Sept it has progressively gotten worse. Now I can't go out of the driveway before the truck starts acting up. There is a bad accident waiting to happen. In my past experience with Nissan is they are reluctant to say anything is wrong and to fix things. I have had enough go wrong with my truck from brakes, electrical, and rear end unit. Just last weekend 20 Oct 12 I took the truck on about a 15 mile round trip and it acted up again. Between July and Sept 2012 the truck would start the shut completely off in parked position. It still does that now too. The truck is now parked until I figure what is the problem. I don't have mega bucks to fix it! someone said Nissan has a computer recall but I have not been notified and I contacted a dealer but they have not called back. Its been 3 days now. They said the description I gave them matches the recall"????????"
