Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM filed July 16, 2013

NHTSA complaint #994455 (ODI reference 10525238) concerns a 2005 NISSAN TITAN and was filed on July 16, 2013. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 13, 2010. The vehicle had 52,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Washington based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN TITAN cohort independently describe similar fuel system, other:storage:fuel gauge system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 NISSAN TITAN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

1ST INCIDENT OCCURRED DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I WAS DRIVING AROUND 25MPH WHEN MY TITAN STARTED TO STALL AND THEN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, WAS JUST ABOUT REAR-END BY DELIVERY TRUCK. I WAS STUCK ON THE STREET IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC FOR 2 HOURS BEFORE A TOW TRUCK WAS ABLE TO COME TOW TRUCK. I HAD MECHANIC LOOK IT OVER AND IT CAME OUT THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF GAS, MECHANIC LOOKED AT FUEL GAUGE AND IT WAS READING OF TANK BUT WOULD NOT START. ONCE COUPLE GALLONS WERE ADDED TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP. MECHANIC STATED THAT FUEL GAUGE IS READING WRONG, MECHANIC LOOKED UP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALLS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM NOT READING CORRECTLY. BUT DEALER STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER DIDN'T FALL INTO THAT RECALL. MECHANIC STATED IT WOULD BE OVER $900 TO FIX. SO I HAD TO TELL THE MECHANIC NOT TO FIX IT. OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE NOT READING CORRECTLY. LAST TIME I RAN OUT OF GAS MY INFANT SON WAS I
