I have a 2005 Nissan Titan that the fuel gauge will read no lower than a quarter of a tank. I have called several times about the recall #10V074000. That recall is for 2005 Nissan Titans with this same problem. They however deny the claim because it doesn't include my VIN number. I feel that this VIN number should be covered under this recall as well.
Gas gauge will only read down to a 1/4 tank level. This causes errors in determining how much fuel is in the tank. I have run out of fuel in heavy traffic which is dangerous and could create cause for collision. This malfunction needs to be improved/
When exiting highway engine quit running. Fuel tank showed 1/4 tank left. Highway support vehicle stop to help, gave me some gas, about 1 gallon. Still would not start, had vehicle towed. Put 2 more gallons of fuel in tank, vehicle started. Found a NHTSA campaign id number 10V074000, for 2005-2009 Titan's for this exact same problem, but for some reason my Titan is not covered even though it's a 2005. I have called my local dealer and Nissan customer service with no help. Just asking why my Titan is not covered? I have uploaded a file of the campaign id number.
The contact owns a 2005 Nissan Titan. While the vehicle was stationary and while driving various speeds, the seat belts and air bags failed to operate properly.

I took my truck to youngblood Nissan in springfield and they said that they cant fixed my recall because of the lines were rusted something like that and is going to charge me $1200 but the recall should coverit
While driving one the highway I noticed my vehicle start to shutter and shut down as if it ran out of gas. My fuel gauge said half a tank so I didn't think it was the problem until I walked to the gas station to fill up a gas can. I put 2 gallons of gas into my fuel tank that said I had a half a tank. I started my truck and it started. Since that incident it has happened 3 times, the most recent being yesterday 07/02/18. I replaced the fuel pump today in hopes that it fixes the problem.
I have run out of gas twice while I was driving. The gas gauge still showed over a quarter of a tank. Both times I was on a residential street. I lost power steering and brakes.
The fuel gauge seems to work intermittently and after researching the problem online it appears there is a recall affecting my truck, campaign id # R1010 NHTSA 10V-074.
Driving down a busy road on my way home from work and vehicle sputters as if out of fuel until it died. Could not get truck to crank and was clearly a lack of fuel. Fuel gauge read 1/4 tank full exactly as described in campaign 10V074000. Fortunatrly a police officer assisted in pushing my truck into a parking lot. I called a family member to drive up with a gas container to put a few gallons in. Sure enough, cranked right up. The following day, I contacted Nissan of usa, my vehicle was not included in the campaign and because of the age and mileage of my truck I would not receive assistance in the repair of this manufacturer defect.
My fuel gauge stops dropping once it gets between 1/2 and 1/4 tank of gas. I all ways check my and reset my trip odometer and know when I need to refuel but my fuel gauge does not match what my trip odometer is reading. I went online and checked to find out if there was a recall on this problem and discovered that there is a safety recall on 340,000 2005 Titans but not for mine. Not sure why some 2005 Titans are in the recall but not all even though many more have the same exact problem. Seems to me a safety recall should be for all affected vehicles and not just some. Mine and my families safety should be just as important to nssan.
I was driving and made a turn from one major street to the next. I merged into the middle lane of a 3 lane road and my truck completely lost power. The vehicle behind me squealed its tires to avoid running into the back of me. I let the truck continue to move without applying brakes or I would have ended up stalled in the middle of a 3 lane busy road. The truck wouldn't even turn into the very right land without me turning the wheel hard. I pulled off onto a side street and called aaa. The vehicle register at a 1/4 of a tank of gas. The aaa driver added $2 worth of gas to the tank but it did not start. I was towed to a aaa approved shop about 2 miles away and when the shop owner went to take the truck off the tow bed it started right up. The owner said that it was just out of gas even though the gauge read a 1/4 of a tank. I went directly to a gas station and it took 25.695 gallons of gas. There is a recall for 2005 Nissan Titans but my VIN number is not pulling it up. NHTSA campaign number 10V074000 instrument panel fuel gauge.
On February 25, 2017 my son was going down the road and his 2005 Nissan Titan truck completely died, lost all power steering, brakes, everything. My son was able to get the truck off the busy road without getting rear ended, which was hard to do for a 20 year old. Once we had the vehicle diagnosed, we were told it was a faulty fuel level sensor unit. The vehicle showed over 1/4 of a tank of gas, but in fact, it was empty. Upon doing some research, I found other 2005 Nissan Titan's were recalled with this same issue, however, Nissan told me, that my VIN was not involved in the recall. This concerns me because my son could have been seriously injured or killed from the truck dying as he was going 50 mph down the road. I have tried to speak with Nissan, asking them to look into my particular vehicle, since there is a past history of this part failing on other Titans. After 3 phone calls, all they will tell me is, it isn't their fault, the vehicle is out of warranty and recall doesn't involve my VIN. I again asked them to consider expanding the recall to include my vehicle and was told no. The truck is currently in the shop to get this fixed, but it's a shame that Nissan won't even consider looking into this when they know it's an issue with other Titans. This truck has been in the family since it was purchased brand new.

Fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system recall for 2005 Nissan Titan - Nissan clearly has a recall for the 2005 Nissan Titan fuel gauge that is not displaying correctly. Upon contacting Nissan, they have said the VIN I provided is not affected which is ridiculous as my 2005 Nissan has the same problem as the 340,000 trucks that are affected. Nissan has clearly not included all VIN's that are affected. This is a dangerous problem as there is not indication of how much fuel is in the vehicle since the gauge will not function properly. If the vehicle quits on a hwy due to running out of fuel, Nissan should be completely liable for any and all damage, injuries that this may cause on an open highway.
