“My fuel gauge reads 1/4 tank when I have no gas in the tank. It will go back to partial full when I fill up but then it will show 1/4 tank after a period of driving. There is no rhyme or reason or accuracy. Why was the 2004 not recalled for this when every year afterwards was recalled for this problem.? I have contacted Nissan and they will not respond.”
NHTSA complaint #10892813, filed 2016-08, 40,000 miles“Cannot put gas in vehicle without blow back. Check engine soon light came on about a week ago and when I went to fill with gas...had blow back. Code was p1446...vent valve closed. Replaced vent valve solenoid, cleared code. Light stayed off for 2 days and then I tried to fill tank...got blow back again and check engine soon light came back on just 2 miles down the road after filling on a city street now what ???”
NHTSA complaint #11053309, filed 2017-12, 73,000 miles“There is a recall on the gas gauge for the 2005 Nissan Titan but my 2004 Nissan Titan has been having the problem with the gas gauge registering more and sometimes less gas than is actually in the vehicle for the last ten years but it was not included and the dealer refused to make the repair. How can I get this issue repaired by the dealer? Sometimes the gas gauge will drop all the way to empty when it has more than half a tank of gas.”
NHTSA complaint #11018688, filed 2017-08, 25,000 miles“I was driving down the highway doing 75 in my 2004 Titan. All of a sudden I lost all power and the truck went dead. My fuel gauge was at a 1/4 tank so I thought it was the fuel pump. Found out the next day that my tank was completely empty and the gauge was wrong. Very dangerous!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10609347, filed 2014-07, 86,000 miles“After filling the gas tank full with gas, the fuel gauge only indicated the tank is 3/4 full. This happens very time I fill up. A fuel gauge issue could lead to the vehicle running out of fuel and leaving my family and I stranded somewhere. This is a huge safety concern.”
