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.

Certain 2005 nissan titans were recalled in campaign #10v074000 due to the fuel gauge showing that there was fuel remaining when the tank was actually empty. This occurred to my vehicle in february 2013. The vehicle shut down and I lost power steering. I was luckily able to turn with enough force to leave the roadway. After contacting nissan, they declared my vehicle was not part of the recall and was not affected although I was having the exact same issue.

While driving on a highway at approximately 55 MPH, my engine stalled. I lost all engine power to my truck, with no error codes, no check engine light. I had to place my truck in neutral while at speed in traffic in the left lane and coast to a safe location on the right shoulder. During this time, I had no power steering or power brakes. After I safely stopped on the shoulder, I tried to restart my engine. My engine would not start. Approximately one month prior to this incident, my truck had intermittently stalled while stopped, with an error code that pointed to an ineffective catalytic converter. I had my mass air flow sensor replaced, my ECM relay replaced, and my catalytic converter replaced, at a cost of ~ $5000 total. I am now told the intelligent power distribution module is likely the culprit for all of these problems, which will cost me another $700 to replace. In researching previous recalls, there is an existing recall for the ECM relay, but not the ipdm module. It appears in other titan forums that several other people have suffered from the same issue.

I ran out of gas even though the fuel gauge stated I had more than a 1/4 of a tank of fuel left. After researching and discovering the federal safety agency campaign id # 10v074000 many 2005 nissan titans have had the same problem as I encountered. I contacted a local dealership and discussed this with them. After giving them my VIN, they stated there was no recall on my 2005 nissan titan for false fuel gauge readings or other issues regarding the fuel system in my vehicle. "recalls are VIN specific and yours is not listed." well, there is an issue with my vehicle's fuel gauge as well. I would like information how to get my vehicle's VIN added to the list of malfunctioning fuel gauge issues and have it replaced by the dealer as a warranty item, as others have done. This is a huge safety issue as I was traveling on the highway at 75 MPH when without notice, I ran out of gas. When my vehicle ran out of gas I was unable to use my brakes, steering was difficult and if there was traffic ahead I would of surly crashed. Thank you

Driving north on the highway @ 70mph, vehicle backfired and engine shut down, no power steering or brakes. Moved vehicle off the highway, cranked but would not start. Left vehicle for the day and returned and replaced a recalled (but known good replacement) ECM relay and vehicle started and ran correctly but showed ses light and code showed p0335 crk pos sensor. This vehicle had a catastrophic failure while driving which represented a serious hazard to both the driver and surrounding vehicles should the driver has panicked in this situation and heavy traffic. To date the vehicle is a nissan facility and still has not been repaired at great expense and inconvenience to the owner.
