Description of the problem | I ran out of gas even though the fuel gauge stated i had more than a 1/4 of a tank of fuel left. After researching and discovering nhtsa campaign id # 10v074000 many 2005 nissan titans have had the same problem as i encountered. I contacted a local dealership and discussed this with them. After giving them my vin, they stated there was no recall on my 2005 nissan titan for false fuel gauge readings or other issues regarding the fuel system in my vehicle. "recalls are vin specific and yours is not listed." well, there is an issue with my vehicle's fuel gauge as well. I would like information how to get my vehicle's vin added to the list of malfunctioning fuel gauge issues and have it replaced by the dealer as a warranty item, as others have done. This is a huge safety issue as i was traveling on the highway at 75 mph when without notice, i ran out of gas. When my vehicle ran out of gas i was unable to use my brakes, steering was difficult and if there was traffic ahead i would of surly crashed. Thank you |
