| Description of the problem | Nhtsa recall 10v074000. (nissan). The recall should apply to 2004 model titans. Curiously it applies to the same make and model for years 2005-2009. In my case the fuel gauge never worked well (purchased new) but at least the low fuel warning gauge light came on. On october 21, 2014 the gauge completely malfunctioned. It stuck at approximately 1/3 of a tank and the vehicle ran out of gas (no light indicator) without warning. At 70 mph on a tollway, the vehicle lost all power. Given the significant risk to driver health and safety posed by this type of malfunction (which was curiously addressed for 2005 and thereafter) and the extreme risk of crash that it causes, the recall should be extended and not exclude the first model year of this car. Without power steering and brake control at 70mph, i was lucky on this occasion. Others may well not be. |
