Filed Mar 14, 2021 · Fuel system · 223,883 miles · WA

The fuel gauge failed to drop all the way to e. No warning light that fuel is low. While on a city street, on the on ramp to an interstate my car's engine just stopped, no sputter, no lagging just 3k RPM to 0 RPM. I was able to shift my automatic transmission to neutral and coast to the shoulder on the on ramp. Unable to restart engine. Cranked but nonstart. Added fuel and car started right up. At the time of the stall the fuel gauge read approximately 33/8 of a tank of gas. Prior to this occuring, when tank would get low the warning light came on around 1/8th of a tank.. About halfway been the 1/4 mark and e. Since this occured I have tested the fuel pump, sending unit and fuel level float, and they all test ok.. When the tank was filled after this the fuel gauge moved back up to the full mark (slightly above,) so the needle is not stuck.

Recently ive been getting the red airbag signal that keeps flashing and wont go off. Ive checked the fuses. Wiring. Ran diahnostics on it for that and the following issues as well. The car makes a high pitch sound when its just ideling that seems to come feom underneath the car maybe towards back middle ive gotten a new fuel pump checked wiring fuses and bought other new parts and have been unable to figure out what it is. Also the gas gauge wont read after the half way point. Ive tried to reset it calibrate it and nothing. During cold days the gas gauge reads correctly until the car warms up. Mo ths have gone by and nothing so far

On multiple occasions while driving down a highway my vehicle shuts down and will not restart with the fuel gage showing 1/4 tank. It was determined the vehicle ran out of fuel which resulted in fuel line requiring cleaning and replacement of fuel pump. Multiservice eagle tire replaced multiple fuel pumps with no success. The local nissan dealership and maintenance shop expressed no resolution regarding this problem. Multi service eagle tire removed pump to check for bent float arm and everything looked okay. When testing resistance of fuel level sensor weird reading at bottom end of spectrum and in the middle saw a high resistance reading. Possible sending unit and/or gauge cluster concern. Additionally, when filling tank the fuel gage reflects 440 miles available; this reading is usually 330. After using all available resources, repair shop returned vehicle to customer without repair. I am concerned for the safety of driver and other vehicles if this event happens again. Currently, the vehicle is shared by three teenagers and two adults. I'm concerned an accident is inevitable during heavy traffic periods.

My car has been checked thru a scanner since it wont start.at first it started not wanting to turn on on the first try. It did that for about a couple of months til I decided to just station it...and now it cranks as if it wants to start up but it doesnt start up. So ive replaced the camshaft sensor but it still wont start so I was told its the fuel pump that needs replacement so I was going to purchase one but was told theres a recall on such part for nissan altima 2005. What can I do to get it fixed?

I was driving myself and co worker home from work. While driving down a city street my car just stalled out and would not start. I could have been on the highway, our lives were put at risk due to a defect in the cam shaft position censor on my 2005 nissian altima. The consumer would like an update on the investigation into the camshaft position censor and the fuel pump. The consumer believed the failure was due to an incomplete recall that was performed on the camshaft censor.
