Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I have a 2005 Nissan Titan that the fuel gauge will read no lower than a quarter of a tank. I have called several times about the recall #10v074000. That recall is for 2005 Nissan titans with this same problem. They however deny the claim because it doesn't include my VIN number. I feel that this VIN number should be covered under this recall as well.”
NHTSA complaint #11160699, filed 2018-12, 152,000 miles“The fuel gauge is reading 1/4 tank and I was driving on interstate when my car shut off-- the reading was incorrect-- I was out of gas-- I had to get car towed-- had family in car could have caused an accident-- there is a recall out for this year make and models but not for my car?? Recall number: 10v074000”
NHTSA complaint #11172276, filed 2019-01, 150,300 miles“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“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.”
