2005 Nissan Titan fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I was driving on a city street and stopped for a red traffic signal to make a right turn onto a highway. Without any warning the engine suddenly stopped running. I was unable to restart the engine. I was blocking the lane of traffic to enter the highway. I had to have the vehicle towed as it would not start and it was a traffic hazard/blocking traffic. The vehicle was towed to an auto repair shop. The mechanic discovered the vehicle's gas tank was completely empty, despite the fuel gauge showing the gas tank just over 1/4 tank full. The mechanic found a recall notice, the federal safety agency recall bulletin #10v074000 for my vehicle, 2005 nissan titan, describing the exact defect that my vehicle experienced; "the fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about 1/4 tank, when the fuel tank is empty." I took my vehicle to a nissan dealer and they told me that my vehicle is not included in this recall due to the VIN, even though it is the same year/make/model, 2005 nissan titan, and has the exact same defect as the one described in the above mentioned the federal safety agency recall bulletin. Had I entered the highway when the engine stopped suddenly without warning, I most likely would have crashed. See the attached diagnostic repair invoice, the federal safety agency recall bulletin #10v074000, and nissan service bulletin. I believe that my vehicle is or should be included in the existing the federal safety agency recall and nissan should comply with the recall and repair the defect at no cost to me.
I purchased a used 2005 nissan titan with almost 117,000 miles on it. Even though it was 14 years it was in excellent condition and well maintained. I searched the nissan website for any possible recalls because another titan I had looked at had several recalls. The search showed no recalls for my VIN number. Then I called the local nissan dealer to verify the information. After 2 short trips I noticed it did not use enough gasoline to move the gauge from slightly over a quarter of a tank. On the third trip the engine quit on a rural paved road, fortunately there was a large grassy area I could coast to. I knew some titans had been recalled for the fuel gauge showing around a quarter of a tank when they were empty. Fortunately again I was only 2 miles from home where I had a gas can with gas in it and my wife was at home to bring it to me. After filling all 5 gallons into the tank, the truck cranked up and drove with no problems. I immediately refueled at the next fuel station where it took another 23 gallons to fill up, 28 gallons total, that is the entire capacity of the fuel tank. I feel that nissan put my and my families life at risk by not acknowledging a wider problem and expanding the fuel level sending unit recall. Fuel level is a safety concern right after brakes, steering and tires, not to be overlooked. This situation could have ended in tragedy, many people have lost their life because they ran out of gasoline and it put them in a dangerous situation. Even though the engine shutting off is not a danger in itself, like with an airplane, it's what happens after the vehicle stops and the other traffic is still moving that results in tragedy.
The fuel gauge does not read correctly below approximately a quarter tank. It occasionally will stick and fluctuate but always around a quarter tank and below. The first time I realized the problem I had to have my truck towed home, thinking it was something major when all I did was run out of gas.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. After refueling the vehicle, the fuel gauge did not reflect the amount of fuel inside the tank. The contact stated that the failure began approximately a month ago each time the vehicle was fueled. The vehicle was taken to bill seidles nissan (10500 nw 12th st, miami, fl 33172) where it was determined that the fuel sending unit failed and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 37522490. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
I understand there is a recall on 2005 thru 2016 nissan titans for a falty gas gauge but was told that my model was not included, I have run out of gas with my gauge showing a 1/4 tank of fuel up to almost a 1/2 on my gauge but still ran out of fuel, I took my truck to key west, fl. And the fuel pump went out and it cost me over $700 to have it replaced. Now my gas gauge is off even more than before
My 2005 nissan tornadoes in the middle of the oklahoma turnpike and interstate I-44 causing one of the lanes to be temporarily closed. After warrington a tow truck and being towed to the nearest nissan dealership, I was informed that the only issue was the fuel gauge was not registering the correct level of gas in the vehicle. Although the gauge read 3\8 of a tank remaining, there was no fuel in the truck. The nissan mechanics said this was a recall on this year titan, but once he checked the VIN, my vehicle was not listed as part of the recall. This is an extreme safety issue as the vehicle can die at any time in any conditions causing lane closures or wrecks due to the sudden fuel issue with no warning. If nissan has recalled for this exact issue on the 2005 titan, and this issue is affecting a 2005 titan, I believe without doubt they have mistakenly omitted certain VIN numbers. If this issue ultimately causes injury or in the worst scenario, a fatality due to their vehicle dying in the middle of a traffic situation, nissan should take responsibility and be held accountable.
While driving on a busy city street, my 2005 nissan titan shut off unexpectedly, causing me to be stalled in the lane of travel. The vehicle would not restart and I was forced to push it out of the lane of travel into a nearby business parking lot. The engine would turn over but would not start. The fuel gauge read just over 1/4 tank and no trouble lights were illuminated and all gauges were within normal range. I wanted to try the most simple thing first so I had my son bring a fuel can to me to see if the tank was empty. This ended up being the case and the vehicle restarted and I stopped at the first fuel station and filled the tank up. The gauge went to full after refueling. I reset my trip odometer after refueling to watch the mileage in case the gauge malfunctioned again and it did. The gauge will not move below 1/4 tank. Nissan issued recall #10v074000 on 3-3-2010 for this exact issue. The recall covers the fuel sending unit which causes the fuel gauge to inaccurately display remaining fuel. I contacted nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261 and the phone rep looked up my VIN and told me there were no recalls on my vehicle. My titan is within the vehicle year range (2005-2009) the recall covers and is presenting with this exact issue.
Fuel gage shows 1/4 tank left of fuel but car out of fuel while driving on the road
I was driving on the highway when my nissan titan 2005 started shaking while driving on a modern traffic. I suddenly started losing control of the truck and thank god I manage exit the freeway with the speed I manage to control. I pull over to the right and tried to find out what was wrong. My truck didn't want to turn on and I had 1/4 of gas left so it was imposible I needed gas after trying different methods, I walked to the nearest gas station, bought a gallon of gas with its proper fuel container and added to my truck then it turn on. I contacted my nearest nissan dealer and they fixed 2 recalls that my truck already had but they didn't want to fix my main problem which is the fuel pump. And I read many nissan titan 2005 are having this problem, I found the recall number (10v074000) which the dealer I attended didn't want to fix it. It's been a bad experience because I could of crash and it couldn't gone worse due to my gas not been correctly plus I missed work and it's just putting stress on me I need this fix thank you
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that the fuel gauge inaccurately displayed that there was fuel in the vehicle (typically about a quarter of a tank) when the fuel tank was actually empty. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 125,000.
The fuel gauge is reading 1/4 tank and I was driving on interstate when my car shut off-- the reading was incorrect-- I was out of gas-- I had to get car towed-- had family in car could have caused an accident-- there is a recall out for this year make and models but not for my car?? Recall number: 10v074000
The gas guage im goning to say sticks for a lack of words but it will say 1/4 tank then instantly drop which we have gotten used to since this has be ongoing and today on my way to the gas station it was at a quarter tank and mid turn died like it ran out of gas since then I've fed it more gas and got it to crank but its not displaying any gas in it by the guage or information center and giving it gas is difficult I put the pump in and start filling and it spits the gas back out.
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.
When fuel gauge gets to about a quarter of a tank it no longer reads it stays on the same spot. Leaving you to believe you have fuel when you don't.
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 the federal safety agency 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.
Tl* 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. When the contact fastened the driver's seat belt to the harness, the message "seat belt, air bags" immediately flashed on the instrument panel. In addition, the contact stated that the fuel tank failed on more than one occasion. Upon filling the fuel tank halfway, fuel spilled onto the ground. It took the contact approximately five minutes or more to fill the fuel tank halfway. Courtesy nissan of tampa (3800 west hillsborough avenue, tampa, florida 33614, (813) 235-0318) diagnosed that the wiring harness was faulty and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that a recall letter was received for the fuel tank; however, a VIN search showed that there were no recalls associated with the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and provided the contact with case numbers: 28501379 and 32622188. The manufacturer also provided the option of a vehicle trade-in. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
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 1200.00 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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. While driving approximately 80 MPH, the vehicle stalled. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The fuel gauge reflected a quarter of a tank available. The contact coasted the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. The contact called a family member to bring some fuel. As soon as the fuel was added, the vehicle started normally. The contact also stated that the failure occurred three other times, but the vehicle would start when fuel was added. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 210,000.
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 the federal safety agency 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.
Fuel gauge does not work properly. Have ran out of gas twice while the fule gauge would be at half.
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. The federal safety agency 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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that the fuel gauge failed to function and the fuel gauge failed to provide the actual reading. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel gauge failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 10v074000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.
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.
