2004 Nissan Titan fuel system problems

Filed Sep 5, 2022 · Fuel system · NC

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 federal safety agency 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.

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.
