IllustrationTHE 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.

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.

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

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD CAUSE ENGINE STALLING INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE ECM RELAY INSIDE THE IPDM ASSEMBLY. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 6, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

Consequence & remedy
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. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

ON CERTAIN KING CAB TRUCKS, THE WIRES IN THE HARNESS WERE ROUTED THROUGH THE REAR DOORS AND INTO THE BODY. THESE WIRES MAY BREAK DUE TO OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AS THE DOOR IS OPENED AND CLOSED. THE HARNESS CONTAINS WIRES FOR THE DRIVER SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER AND FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WHICH IS PART OF THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. WIRES FOR THE REAR AUDIO SPEAKERS ARE ALSO CONTAINED N THE HARNESS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE WIRES FOR THE SEAT BELTS AND SPEAKER WIRES BREAK AND MAKE CONTACT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PRETENSIONER MAY DEPLOY. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED, IT WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE TO USE THE SEAT BELT. IF ONE OF THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT SIDE HARNESS FOR THE SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR BREAKS, THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY AS DESIGNED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH AND PERSONAL INJURY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE WIRE HARNESS COVER WITH A DIFFERENT TYPE THAT PREVENTS OVER BENDING OF THE HARNESS AND THE HARNESS WILL BE REROUTED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 19, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
