“The 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.”
NHTSA complaint #11269762, filed 2019-10, 170,000 miles“Driving down a busy road on my way home from work and vehicle sputters as if out of fuel until it died. Could not get truck to crank and was clearly a lack of fuel. Fuel gauge read 1/4 tank full exactly as described in campaign 10v074000. Fortunatrly a police officer assisted in pushing my truck into a parking lot. I called a family member to drive up with a gas container to put a few gallons in. Sure enough, cranked right up. …”
NHTSA complaint #11084892, filed 2018-04, 204,000 miles“My Titan stalls while driving, a very dangerous situation! Replaced the recalled ECM relay, that worked for a couple of weeks, then the same issue. From everything I have researched, the ipdm is also a culprit but Nissan won't recall/replace these.”
NHTSA complaint #11172496, filed 2019-01, 146,000 miles“Nissan replaced the ecu relay and front fan they installed a jumper fuse into the ipdm and now vehicle shuts down while driving now the vehicle wont even turn over. The battery was drained now charged when I turn the ignition I get zero response from the starter as if the ipdm was blown. The truck shut down while driving like 10 - 20 within a 5 mi trip to get back home.”
NHTSA complaint #10622231, filed 2014-08, 236,000 miles“I was looking on this website and seen 6 recalls for the 2005 Nissan Titan which I have and and noticed there was a recall for the wire harness on the driverside rear door. Well all those wires are broken off no music from the rear speakers on either side. I'm having problems were I try to accelerate and the truck barely wants to move and sometimes takes long to finally start. When your idling it sounds as if it's going to break down. When the a.c. Is on it makes a very loud annoying sound. …”
