2005 Nissan Titan

MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN IS EXHIBITING THE FAILURES AS OUTLINED IN NISSAN NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM / WIRING HARNESS) AND NHTSA 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. *TR

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 NHTSA 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. *TR

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 NHTSA 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. *TR

FOR SOME REASON MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN VIN IS [XXX] MAKE: NISSAN. MODEL: TITAN. MODEL YEAR: 2006 MANUFACTURER: NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. MFR'S REPORT DATE: FEB 26, 2010. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 N/A. NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A . COMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM. SUMMARY: NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2009 TITAN, ARMADA, AND INFINITI QX56 VEHICLES. 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. CONSEQUENCE: THIS COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL SENDER UNIT INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WITH A NEW IMPROVED SENDER CARD. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL NHTSA 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. *TR

HE WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A RECALL FOR HIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THAT DESCRIBED THE EXACT FAILURE HE WAS EXPERIENCING (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000- FUEL SYSTEM OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM).

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). *TR
