2006 Nissan Armada Fuel System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING THERE WERE FUMES SEEN BEING RELEASED FROM THE VEHICLE INCLUDING AN ABNORMAL FUEL SMELL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TANK ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL LINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED TO REPAIRS THAT WERE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE ONE YEAR PRIOR TO THE FAILURE UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

DRIVING OUR NISSAN ARMADA AT APPRX 15MPH AND WENT OVER A TREE BRANCH THAT COULD NOT BE AVOIDED THAT HAD FALLEN, WITH NO INJURY TO OUR VEHICLE BUT CAUSED A LARGE LEAK IN THE GAS TANK. NOW THE PUNCTURED GAS TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE RISK OF THIS LARGE PUNCTURE IN THE TANK FROM SUCH A MINOR IMPACT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN EXPLOSION OF THE VEHICLE. FUEL TANKS SHOULD NOT BE MADE IN A MANNER THAT THEY ARE SO VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD. *TT

2006 NISSAN ARMADA STALL ON FREEWAY WHILE DRIVING FLUIDS WERE CHECKED IN 3 DAYS AGO HAD A LITTLE OVER 1/4 TANK OF GAS. ENGINE SUDDENLY DIED ALMOST GOT REAR END IT BY A SEMI-TRUCK BARELY MADE SAFE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A DEAD ENGINE MY FAMILY WAS VERY SCARE WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN WE'RE THANK FULL THAT NOTHING HAPPEN TO US WE TRY TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WAS DEAD, HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. *TR

MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOT WORKING CORRECT AND I AM MOVEING FROM FLORIDA TO NEW YORK SOON. I DID NOT HAVE A INCIDENT.

AROUND 7/09, MY ARMADA JUST STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY (ACCORDING TO THE GAS GAUGE, WE HAD A 1/2 TANK LEFT)... THEN FOUND OUT ON 7/27/09 THAT GAS GAUGE WAS FAULTY, SO I HAD TO PAY $560.21 TO ANTIOCH NISSAN TO HAVE THAT REPLACED. ON 3/3/10, HEARD ON THE NEWS THERE'S A RECALL ON FUEL GAUGE ON MY NISSAN & GOT MY REIMBURSEMENT & HAD FUEL GAUGE REPLACED AGAIN ON 4/2/10... ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I PUT GAS IN MY ARMADA, IT TAKES FOREVER FOR THE GAS GAUGE TO GO UP TO WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE (IE. I PUT $40 WHICH SHOULD PUT IT IN 1/2 TANK... I DROVE 5 MILES BEFORE IT ACTUALLY GOT FROM 1/4 TANK TO 1/2 TANK... I TOOK PICTURES OF THIS OCCURRENCE). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN ARMADA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED QUARTER OF A TANK WHICH WAS INACCURATE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, AS A RESULT OF A LACK OF GASOLINE IN THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NINE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AT ANY SPEED RATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURES OCCURRED BEFORE THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 10V074000 (FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER: STORAGE: FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM). THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 45,000.
