| Description of the problem | Ever since i have owned the vehicle, the fuel gauge would never read full but stop at 7/8 of a tank. Not a big deal but last night my gauge read between 1/8 and 1/4 tank and i ran out of gas on a main road at night. The fuel light never came on and normally does when i am low on fuel. Doing research on this i found that there is a recall for 2005-2009 titans for this same exact issue but not 2004. Reading the full description of the recall, it 100% reflects the same issue that i am having. I called nissan and spoke to a representative and she says my vehicle does not apply to any recalls. She said to take the vehicle to the dealership to have them look at but for them to diagnose, they will have to drop the fuel tank which will cost quite a bit. I looked on other forums and this seems to of been a very common issue with 2004 model year but why it was not included in the recall is beyond me. This needs to be resolved because now i have no idea how much fuel is actually in my tank and i would rather this not happen again. I got lucky with the spot i was in where my truck stalled on a very busy road and did not get into an accident. I have attached the original recall notice for the 2005-2009 model year. |
