| Description of the problem | the vehicle showed 1/4 tank of gas, was running fine and suddenly shut off while a young girl 18 years old was driving home from dropping off siblings at school. At 55 mph there was no power brakes, no power steering while driving on a two lane road heavily traveled by 80 ton gravel trucks. Nissan knows this is a common problem and has had a number of titans experience this issue caused by a faulty fuel level sensor. They did a tsb on all but 2004s even though they have the same part. Nissan required me to take it to a dealership for nissan diagnostic ($93) even though the dealership already told me this was an issue and nissan would probably cover it. The nissan regional rep ([xxx]) reimbursed the repair but refused the diagnostic fee she required me to get. Nissan denies responsibility for recalling these vehicles which they know can just shut off while driving. This is a very serious safety issue and needs to be recalled immediately!!
