Description of the problem | While driving down the highway the truck stalled and lost all power. After getting to the shoulder of the highway, the truck still had battery power and wanted to crank to start but acted like it wasn't getting gas. After calling around we determined thru a nissan service advisor that we should try filling the tank with gas, even though i was telling him it read between a quarter and half a tank. After putting in 5 gallons and turning the key and cranking it a few seconds, it started right up. It has done this at various times since this first occurrence and continues to vary. I now have to keep no less than half a tank of gas at all times or i will suddenly lose power and have to pull off. Nissan has a voluntary safety recall campaign 2005-2009 armada and titan fuel gauge inaccuracy, campaign id#r1010 & nhtsa#10v-074, but say that it does not include my vin. I have tried repeatedly to ask nissan how this safety campaign does not affect my vehicle if it too has the same problem, as i've been told its the fuel sending unit which is what this recall campaign covers. |
