What owners wrote
The 2005 nissan titan truck I owned was being driven and caught on fire. The vehicle was a total loss. The insurance paid off the loan. Nissan claimed no responsibility and did not offer me any compensation.
Was accelerating after coming to a stop at a stop sign. Got up to about 15 MPH when all of a sudden the engine died in the middle of traffic. Tried to restart but could not. Coasted into a side street. Fuel gauge indicated that the vehicle still had 1/8 of a tank of fuel. After putting in about a half of a gallon of gasoline was able to get to a gas station. Once truck was full it ran with no problem. A week later I ran the fuel down to the same amount (1/8) where the truck had died before.
