What owners say
I recently learned of the safety recall 10v‑074 that described the exact situation I encountered in 2014. I was driving on expressway at 70 MPH when engine died. Luckily I was able to coast over to side of road, but was between an on ramp and off ramp--very dangerous. Fuel gauge showed 1/3 of a tank. Roadside assistance added a couple gallons of gas. I was able to start and drive to dealer. No recalls were identified for my VIN at the time so I was charged nearly $1000 to replace fuel pump/sender. I am bringing this to your attention because I have so far been unsuccessful in negotiating reimbursement from nissan. Based on the number of complaints I see on your website, I believe a non-VIN specific safety recall campaign must be initiated because this problem will most likely continue since these vehicles can last a long time--my armada had 154,000 miles on it at that time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan armada. The contact stated that after refueling the fuel tank, the fuel gauge would display inaccurate readings that the fuel tank was empty. There was a recall under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system) yet the contacts VIN was not included in the recall. The technician informed the contact that the fuel pump would need to be replaced due to the faulty fuel gauge. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 66,000.
I was driving to work when driving a frwy speed the truck sputtered and shut of when I was on the fast lane. I had to let the truck roll off the frwy. The gas tank indicated that I had 1/4 tank left. I added gas because the truck was trying to crank over. The truck then started up right away, I could have caused an accident if I didn't think quickly about getting off the frwy, could have been rear ended if I was inexperienced. I know fuel pump sending unit is bad in these trucks and there has to be a solution to get this problem fixed.
Dt: the consumer stated that on march 5, 2005 the driver's and passenger's seat belts locked when applying the brakes, the seat belts tightened like they were choking the consumer. The middle row seat locked, but did not catch in order to keep the consumer from going forward. Also when pressing on the brakes the vehicle shook so violently that one could not hang onto the wheel. The consumer had taken the vehicle to the dealer for the brakes, and the dealer said that the vehicle needed a new brake system. In addition, the check engine light had come on. The vehicle was taken to the dealers on october 5, 2005 because the fuel pump cracked. The vehicle needed a new exhaust manifold and the engine blew out. The vehicle needed a new engine.
