2018 Nissan Titan FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Gas spilling out when refilling. Fuel tank had been whistling from beginning ownership in 2020 but no problem refilling. Most recently however gas will quickly overflow when attempting to fill. This has occurred several times recently, but it was never an issue before. Spillage is not dependent on tank volume. Spillage occurs when low and/ or mostly filled. I have to trickle gas from pump in order to fill, but this takes quite a while to put in several gallons. If I attempt to fill normally gas will come gushing out after a few seconds.

TRUCK WOULD NOT START IT IS A 2018 NISSIAN TITAN XD WITH 41000 MILES ON IT AND HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO A NISSIAN DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE LIFTER FUEL PUMP BAD CALLED NISSIAN CORP HELP NUMBER AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT SINCE FACTORY WARRANTY RAN OUT 3 MONTHS AGO SO HAD TO PAY $2300 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE AND AS I HAVE READ THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH THESE LIFTER PUMPS IN THESE NISSIAN TITAN TRUCKS

Fuel sender unit doesn’t work. Doesn’t log when the tank is full stays on empty at all times. Research shows this is a known issue with other Nissan models but I don’t see a recall for this model.

AS I WAS PUMPING GAS THE FUEL TANK BEGAN TO MAKE A HOWLING SOUND AND BEGUN TO SPIT THE GAS BACK OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES, AND HAS BECOME WORRISOME.

WHILE THE TRUCK IS FUELING AND STATIONARY THE FILLER NECK EMITS A HIGH-PITCHED WHINE NOISE. THE NOISE VARIES IN PITCH WITH RELATION TO HOW FULL THE TANK BECOMES. THE MENTIONED COMPLAINT HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE FIRST FILL UP WHEN I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. ADDITIONALLY, I'VE MADE ATTEMPTS OF INFORMING TWO SEPARATE DEALERS OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND PROVIDED VIDEO OF THE COMPLAINT. ONE ASKED FOR A COPY OF VIDEO, AND THE OTHER SAID THE ENGINEERS ARE AWARE AND WILL RESPOND SHORTLY. THAT WAS SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS COMPLAINT AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING.

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK IT HAS A HIGH PITCH WHISTLE AND BLOWS GAS BACK OUT ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND ON THE GROUND CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND HAS ISSUED A TSB BUT I FEEL IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS BURNT OR KILLED THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
