My 2005 nissan titan is exhibiting the failures as outlined in nissan the federal safety agency recall campaign 06v459000 (electrical system / wiring harness) and the federal safety agency recall campaign 10v074000 (fuel system / fuel gauge system). After reporting my issues to my local nissan dealer and nissan consumer affairs, I was told my VIN was not included in either recall campaign. Nissan consumer affairs finally gave me a case number and told me to have my local nissan dealer diagnose the truck and provide the written diagnosis and cost estimate to a nissan consumer affairs specialist. After paying $85 for a diagnosis, the local dealer confirmed in a written diagnosis and estimate, that my truck was experiencing the same failures that the 2 recalls cite and that my truck needed the same remedies as outlined in the recalls. After providing this information to the nissan consumer affairs specialist, nissan declined to cover my repairs stating that my VIN was not included, I did not have a complete history of nissan servicing my vehicle and that my vehicle was outside the limited warranty term. I knew my truck was outside the warranty term, my truck needs to be included in the recall campaign, which has nothing to do with warranty. Nissan is negligent in not including my truck in the recall. I have seen this same complaint from numerous others in my same situation, on this website and other online forums. The recall needs to be expanded as they obviously are not covering all vehicles affected by the failures cited.
2005 Nissan Titan fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Loud exhaust sound coming from the front, on both sides for the engine compartment. Due to a cracked manifold. I could also smell exhaust fumes inside. I keep the window cracked open when I drive for safety reasons, mostly when I have my wife and kids in the vehicle.
I was on my way home, from an errand. The engine began to run irregularly, then shut off. At first I did not think I was our of gas because the fuel gauge indicated that there was 1/4 tank of gas. After I tried a few times and failed to get it started I walked to a gas station and got gas, put it in the tank and my vehicle started. At the time of this incident I was fortunate that I was able to coast into a wide driveway and avoid being rear ended.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The fuel level gauge displayed the fuel tank as being one quarter tank full. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and upon further inspection, it was discovered that the fuel gauge malfunctioned and was providing inaccurate fuel level readings. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the issue and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system). The failure mileage was 126,000 and the current mileage was 137,405.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan pickup. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle it started sputtering and ran out of fuel on the highway. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who stated there was a recall the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system, other: storage: fuel gauge system). The contact mentioned that after having the recall repairs performed, strong fumes continued to emit in and around the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle failed to accelerate pass 40 MPH. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer in three different occasions within the week to repair the fuel system. The dealer repaired the fuel level sender and the ECM relay. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 89,000.
Traveling at 65 MPH when the vehicle ran out of gas. The fuel gauge indicated that there was between 1/4 and 1/8 of a tank remaining and the low fuel warning light had not come on. Multiple attempts to restart the engine were unsuccessful. Upon adding 1.5 gallons of fuel the vehicle re-started on the first try so it was definitely out of gas. Nissan has a recall for this very issue but I was told it does not cover my VIN# although it is for some vehicles of my make and model year. I paid to have the fuel sensor in the gas tank repaired and the problem went away immediately and has not resurfaced. Nissan may need to expand their recall as my vehicle definitely experienced the symptoms of the recalled vehicles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnose that the fuel sender unit needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v074000 (fuel system). The failure and the current mileage was 91,000.....updated 10/11/12 *bf updated 10/16/12
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that she pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and noticed that the fuel gauge displayed a reading of one quarter of a tank but was actually empty. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer to be repaired where they informed that the titan sender unit fuel gauge needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 32,000.
I was driving home on a state route with a speed limit of 55 MPH. The vehicle indicated there was 1/4 of a tank of fuel left and then the engine abruptly shut off while I was going 55 MPH with traffic behind me and very limited run off on the side of the highway. When the vehicle shut off I lost all power steering and the vehicle became very hard to stop. Luckily I was in a truck and was able to pull of onto the grass on the side of the road, otherwise it may have caused an accident. I did a little research and found there was already an incident filed for this, but when I called somehow my vehicle wasn't covered, even though my symptoms matched the federal safety agency recall 10v07400 exactly. It was a very scary experience and could have been much worse had the road been busier or I hadn't pulled off. I had to wait for gas on a very busy road with very little room between my truck and other traffic. I think if my vehicle isn't covered under the recall it should be expanded since it was the exact same scenario as other nissan's were having, and could have been much worse.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled while driving at various speeds. The failure recurred intermittently. The contact eventually noticed that the fuel gauge was not displaying the proper fuel level reading. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 70,000.
I've had two incidents where my truck has run out of gas due to the fuel gauge displaying the wrong amount of gas in the tank. There has been a recall on 2005 - 2009 titans for this specific problem yet my vehicles VIN hasn't been associated with the recall. I've contacted two local dealers and the nissan company directly for a resolution but I've been told that I would have to repair the problem myself. Is there anything that can be done concerning this discrepancy? Thank you for your time.
This vehicle has more common failures than any I have seen. Both of the rear leaf spring shackles rotted out. The rear axle seals are now leaking. In 6 months I have replaced 2 oxygen sensors and now for the 2nd time I am replacing the evap canister control valve. Nissan seems to ignore all of these issues and has redesigned many of these problem areas in newer models however does not own up to fixing the issues on vehicles that are on the road.
In august of 2010 was the first time I experienced a problem. The vehicle lost power and died while driving on a main street going approximately 45 MPH. Later I discovered that the vehicle was out of gas despite the fuel gauge being at 1/4 tank. Today, after nearly 1 1/2 of keeping my truck above 1/4 tank and logging my miles, the vehicle engine power died on me and failed to start because once again it was out of fuel...this time reading just under 1/2 tank. Both situations are extremely unsafe and caused unnecessary stress. I've called the dealer and they are aware of problems with the fuel sending unit on the nissan titan model trucks but can not do anything without the official recall. It is widely known that there is a recall on some of the nissan titan models and should be extended throughout all of the failing fuel systems before myself or someone is faced with extreme injury. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 nissan titan. The contact stated that while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact also stated that the fuel gauge displayed a reading indicating that fuel was in the fuel tank at the time of the failure. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and the contact was advised to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred while driving 45 MPH. The vehicle was taken to another independent repair shop and the contact was informed of the recall associated with the federal safety agency campaign id number 10v074000 (fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 150,000.
The instrument panel fuel gauge displayed that the vehicle still had fuel. The vehicle stalled on the highway, in traffic, and was out of gas. At the time we had no idea what was wrong and only knew it would not start. We had the vehicle towed to the nissan dealership who diagnosed it was out of gas and the fuel sender was faulty. The fuel sender resides inside the fuel tank according to the dealership but they will not fix it at their expense. Our particular VIN # is not covered for the identical issue that is under a current recall.
At highway speed, vehicle shut off and would not restart stranding wife and kids on highway. The fuel gauge showed 1/4 tank of gas, but it was later found that the tank was empty. Same condition as documented in the federal safety agency campaign 10v074000, but nissan corp. Stated that vehicle is not covered under previous recall because VIN range/manufacture date is prior to specifications of recall. Nissan has stated that there is nothing they can do and has offered no assistance in this matter. *safety issue - a major collision could have occurred at highway speed due to vehicle's inexplicable shut down.

I own a 2005 nissan titan. There is a safety recall the federal safety agency 10v074000 for a defective fuel gauge sending unit. The recall notice states; the instrument panel fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is empty. My truck has precisely that problem, I have run out of gas on the road several times when the gauge shows 1/4 full. I set up an appointment for this recall and when I arrvied I was told I did not qualify. I called nissan today and again was told I do not qualify though they could not tell me what VIN's or manufacturing dates qualify. I believe that since my truck exhibits the problem described in the recall, my vehicle should qualify for replacement of the fuel sender unit.

2005 nissan titan pickup fuel filler defect causing gas to back up and gush out of fill line whenever I attempt to fill tank with gas. It appears that the flapper that covers the fuel opening has broken off and is blocking the fuel filler line.

I have a 2005 nissan titan. On may 7th I ran out of gas while my fuel gage was still showing 1/4 tank. I was on a fairly narrow state highway in wisconsin and came close to someone rear ending me while I was on the side of the road. I filed my complaint with nissan and just heard back from them today that there is a recall on the 2005 titan for this issue, but my VIN number was not included in the recall. Even though my truck is running out of fuel unexpectedly also.
Dear sir\ madam I took my 2005 nissan titan to dealer for gas gauge recall I was inform my truck is not cover I notice my gas gauge level indicator will sometimes jump up I think this 2005 titan should include in recall list thanks [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My 05 nissan titan fuel gauge reads that I have a quarter of a tank left when I run out of gas. I have been told this is due to a faulty sending unit in the gas tank. This is disturbing because if I were to run out of gas on the highway or my wife has my truck and runs out of gas, the power steering shuts off when the truck dies from no fuel. This could cause a collision and result in serious injury or death. This is not a chance I am wanting to take with the lives of my family. This item has been recalled on other nissan titans, but when I called about mine it was said that it is not covered under the recall. I would like to make it known that the 2005 nissan titan crew cab se 4 wd ..VIN number [xxx]...also has this problem and should be included in this recall. And the recall id # 49063 is for the fuel gauge system recall. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
