NHTSA Complaint #10863332 — 2005 NISSAN ARMADA

I RECENTLY LEARNED OF THE SAFETY RECALL 10V-074 THAT DESCRIBED THE EXACT SITUATION I ENCOUNTERED IN 2014. I WAS DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD, BUT WAS BETWEEN AN ON RAMP AND OFF RAMP--VERY DANGEROUS. FUEL GAUGE SHOWED 1/3 OF A TANK. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ADDED A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS. I WAS ABLE TO START AND DRIVE TO DEALER. NO RECALLS WERE IDENTIFIED FOR MY VIN AT THE TIME SO I WAS CHARGED NEARLY $1000 TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP/SENDER. I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I HAVE SO FAR BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN NEGOTIATING REIMBURSEMENT FROM NISSAN. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE, I BELIEVE A NON-VIN SPECIFIC SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN MUST BE INITIATED BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE SINCE THESE VEHICLES CAN LAST A LONG TIME--MY ARMADA HAD 154,000 MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME.
