While driving on the freeway, my armada all of a sudden lost power and the check engine light and others came on! i was terrified as i floated thru traffic to avoid an accident! i was in the middle lane and could only swerve across fast lane to get near the freeway divider and out of traffic! let's just say i got over right in the nick of time! the truck died out completely! fuel gauge showed i had about 1/4 tank of gas so i thought it was something wrong with my engine. i had just bought the car 4 days prior (no warranty) so i was really unsure of what was going on! state patrol helped get me over to towing zone and i had the truck towed home. i called the dealer and he stated that the gas gauge might be off a bit and to go ahead and add gas. i did as instructed and my truck started right back up! i researched the issue online and found there were thousands of vehicles with same issue which caused nissan to issue a recall for the fuel system- recall id# 68293, campaign# 10vo74000. i contacted nissan consumer svcs and was told that my vin is not included in this specific recall but to take it in to dealer to verify/ confirm issue. i did so the following week and the mechanic at olympia nissan gladly confirmed issue with fuel sending unit and was quoted $465.00 plus tax to replace, which nissan would not cover. surprisingly, i received a call earlier today from melody with nissan consumer svcs to inform me that she was escalating my issue regarding fuel system. i could have caused an accident on the freeway with the truck losing power like that, especially when gas gauge clearly shows truck still has gas! as of that day, i now make sure truck has a full tank of gas at all times! :/ nissan should step up and take responsibility for these defects before it causes fatal accidents. *tr
We were left stranded on 2 occasions (3/11/14 and 4/22/14) because the fuel display read at least 1/4 tank of gas when, in fact, we found the tank was empty. once in the middle of a windy road on a bad curve, the other in a parking lot. this is the pertinent recall that is associated with our vehicle from the website: report receipt date: mar 03, 2010 nhtsa campaign number: 10v074000 component(s): fuel system, other all products associated with this recall: vehicle makemodelmodel year(s) nissanarmada2005-2009 we have spoken with the dealership where our vehicle has been since monday, 4/28/14, and the corporate/regional offices for nissan. 2 diagnostic tests have been run, and did confirm that this is the issue with our vehicle. the corporate office will not approve the repair for our vehicle and now will not return my calls from wednesday and today. we have been given an estimate from the dealership and have been told they have also been notified this repair will not be covered by nissan regardless of it being the exact issue covered under the listed recall, and our vehicle is a 2005 nissan armada. any assistance would be greatly appreciated! *tr
My vehicle is experiencing the exact same issue as reported in nhtsa campaign number: 10v074000. my fuel gauge stops working at about a quarter of a tank, and i have a high mileage vehicle. somehow, my vehicle is not under the recall. *tr

My 2005 nissan armada has the problem described in nhtsa #10v-074. nissan claims my vehicle is not part of the recall even thought the recall is for 2005 - 2009 nissan armadas. it is very frustrating to have a safety problem, learn that the manufacturer is aware of it and has a recall, but to be told that it doesn't apply to your vehicle. clearly it does, because i have the exact problem described, "issue can cause the fuel gauge to show that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when fuel tank is empty." *tr
