GAS GAUGE SHOWS INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE NISSAN PEOPLE'S FIX IS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK OVER HALF FULL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO, BUT WHEN WE TOOK OUR TRUCK IN, WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO RECEIVE A APPOINTMENT FROM NISSAN BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING. OUR LETTER STATES "THE VEHICLE COULD STALL, WHICH COULD CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH." WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. PLEASE HELP US. *TR
RIGHT REAR AXEL SEAL LEAKING, FLUID LEVEL REALLY LOW, IF WENT UNNOTICED COULD HAVE CAUSED REAR TO LOCK UP AND CAUSE CRASH. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL ALTHOUGH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS MORE THAN TANK OF FUEL LEFT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 63,000.
WAITING OVER A MONTH FOR PARTS ON A RECALL OF GAS GAUGE SENDER UNIT. SINCE IT HAS FAILED WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED TWO TIMES. NOW WE TRY TO KEEP THE TANK HALF FULL BUT THIS IS A HASSLE. *TR

THE NISSAN TITAN 2007 HAS A FRONT END BRAKE PROBLEM . THEY WEAR OUT TO THE POINT THAT WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE THE FRONT BRAKES CHATTER AND IT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY NISSAN THREE TIMES IN 32000 MILES . THEY TRIED TO CHARGE US ALL THREE TIMES BUT AFTER THREATENING TO CALL A TV STATION THEY RELENTED AND REPLACED THEM. A MECHANIC WHO FELT SORRY FOR US SAID THIS WAS A MASSIVE PROBLEM AND NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED ANY ORDERS TO DEALERS. HE INDICATED THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE SET UP ARE TO SMALL FOR THE VERY LARGE TITAN TRUCK. A LOOK ON THE INTERNET UNDER COMPLAINTS WILL BEAR OUT THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP HELP HELP! *TR
