I've had mine since February 2004, and it has always done that. Never have I seen it go to the full mark. I have gotten used to it, and know that at 1/4 tank left, I've run right at 300 miles and have about 7 or 8 gallons of gas left.

Yep, mine does that too. The only time it got anywhere remotely close to being on "F" was when I filled it to the top and gas was spilling out.

Mine is the exact opposite. I never "double pump" so to say to top it off, once it clicks I'm done and the gauge will be above F for 10-15 miles before moving. However, when my light comes on at E I have never put on more than 22 gallons of fuel.

I suppose it all depends on how the needle is set on the gauge. Mine also moves very fast in the first quarter ( about 75 miles) and slowly in the 3/4 to half tank ( about 150 miles). Kinda wierd.

I have an '06 and it just started doing that. I know its full but it'll read about 1/8 -1/4 below full until I drive for about 15 minutes then it will come up. I was going to put it on my list to give the dealer for warranty fixes.

Mine's a little wonky too on a 2006 SE CC.
However, it is not as wonky as the Chevy I unloaded, so I am happy.
Mine gets back with the program after I drive it awhile.

my guage takes 10 minutes to go up to F after filling. got me...

My tranny gauge needle would not move for the last 3 days so I did the "gauge test" and now it's working normal again.

Mine too. First time I filled it, I thought I must have done something wrong. It just takes it a little while to realize its full.

This seems to be a common issue with a lot of Titans. Mine has the same problem. I took it in for service and they replaced the sending unit. Its better with the new sending unit, but after 15 miles of filling up it reads 3/4 of a tank. So while the new sending unit allowed the gage to read full, it drops so fast that I dont trust it at all.

My 04 has done this only once, it was the only time i let it go below a quarter of a tank, took 30 minutes to go from all most empty to full. All other times it reads full or a little more.

ok, my titan is 06 Le CC, its just like some of you said, same thing after ten minutes or so, gauge goes to full. i have had my Titan since last dec. this is first time that this has done this, it always has gone to full right after start up and gradually went down, but from what i have heard i am not concerned. thanks for input..............

Yours only gradually goes down?!?! lol Mine takes a while to register full sometimes as well.

Call the dealer. There is a TSb out for the fuel sending unit that controls the fuel guage. Most of us have had it replaced under warranty.
