Description of the problem	Nhtsa campaign id number 10v075000 fuel sending unit failure. Incident outline: i was driving on the 2 lane portion of the trans-canada highway #1 west of chilliwack and had fueled up about two hours earlier. I watched the fuel gauge, mpg and dte readings to roughly estimate the amount of fuel remaining and the range to be expected from the remaining fuel, when the gauges were actually working for a brief time. The fuel gauge had seemingly properly shown the dte and fuel level but at +/- 5/8 of a tank it dropped to zero and the dte readings went flat line. This has become a usual situation with the fuel gauge issue and my estimates were that i had sufficient fuel to reach the next gas station pullout from the freeway but i was terribly wrong. I was pulling a trailer and had my wife, son and his friend with me returning from a weekend at our cabin. We were traveling @ +/- 60 mph in the fast lane as there was slower traffic in the curb lane when the truck? S engine stopped, i was out of fuel! I quickly assessed the options, put my right hand turn signal on and starting easing into the curb lane displacing the vehicle beside me. I was able to maneuver the truck into the curb lane under the momentum it had without incident but not without tremendous stress and 2 near misses with other vehicles. Eventually i coasted onto the shoulder of the highway and came to a stop safely without power. It was extremely close and a scenario i do not want to see played out again. Nissan has declined this request and shown moral contempt for a problem that i have demonstrated through , telephone conversations, images and text.
