We bought this car used. The fuel gauge does not work once it gets down to 1/4 of the tank left. I was driving my car on a city street when all of the sudden my car just turned off. Luckily I was able to slowly steer over to the side of the road. I had no idea what was going on because my fuel gauge said I still had 1/4 tank left of gas. This could've been far more dangerous if I would've run out of gas on a freeway or highway. There was a recall for this year and model for the fuel gauge inaccuracy, but when I called they said my VIN didn't match the recall.
The fuel gage gets to one quarter and it starts to be inaccurate and will run out of gas showing one quarter tank. The fuel gage will not work right until you have over three quarters in. I got so low on fuel the light was on three days ago. I put a few gallons in when I got to town it shower there was 1/8 of a tank by the time I got home it was showing a little over 1/4 were it was when it ran out of gas 1 1/2 years ago. The next morning I had to go to town and it showed I had almost half a tank by the time I got there. I've put about 7 gallons in it and the fuel gage is at the same place. When I filled the tank up the fuel gage started working probably. I've looked and there is a recall on the fuel sending unit on some nissan armada already but this one isn't on the list
The fuel gauge does not indicate actual fuel level. The fuel gauge stops around 1/4 tank ... And the tank could be empty.

Fuel gauge reads inaccurately, showing a fuel level even when empty. A recall was issued in 2010 for other 2005 armada models. A call to nissan (case#32522656) showed that over 340,000 vehicles were recalled by the federal safety agency (campaign #10v074000), but my VIN was excluded from this campaign. As noted in the other recall by the federal safety agency, this could result in unexpectedly running out of fuel, disabling the vehicle.
