Description of the problem | On february 25, 2017 my son was going down the road and his 2005 nissan titan truck completely died, lost all power steering, brakes, everything. My son was able to get the truck off the busy road without getting rear ended, which was hard to do for a 20 year old. Once we had the vehicle diagnosed, we were told it was a faulty fuel level sensor unit. The vehicle showed over 1/4 of a tank of gas, but in fact, it was empty. Upon doing some research, i found other 2005 nissan titan's were recalled with this same issue, however, nissan told me, that my vin was not involved in the recall. This concerns me because my son could have been seriously injured or killed from the truck dying as he was going 50 mph down the road. I have tried to speak with nissan, asking them to look into my particular vehicle, since there is a past history of this part failing on other titans. After 3 phone calls, all they will tell me is, it isn't their fault, the vehicle is out of warranty and recall doesn't involve my vin. I again asked them to consider expanding the recall to include my vehicle and was told no. The truck is currently in the shop to get this fixed, but it's a shame that nissan won't even consider looking into this when they know it's an issue with other titans. This truck has been in the family since it was purchased brand new. |
