POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING ON 2007 NISSAN TITAN 4WD PICKUP WITH 23,500 MILES. REAR AXLE GREASE WAS LEAKING ONTO WHEEL AND REAR BRAKE DISK... POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FAILURE OF THE BRAKES TO STOP ADEQUATELY, HAD I NOT FOUND THE LEAK AS QUICKLY AS I DID. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT FAILURE ON THE NISSAN TITAN. NISSAN REPLACED THE SEALS UNDER WARRANTY WITH IDENTICAL SEALS. I DID NOT KEEP THE OLD PARTS. HERE IS ONE LINK TO A FORUM THAT IS TRACKING AXLE SEAL FAILURES AMONG ITS MEMBERS: HTTP://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-ENGINE-TRANSMISSION-DRIVETRAIN/42837-REAR-AXLE-SEALS-LEAKS-PLEASE-REPORT.HTML THERE APPEARS TO BE 350 NISSAN TITAN REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURES REPORTED ON THIS ONE WEBSITE ALONE SINCE AUGUST OF 2008. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
COLUMN SHIFTER CAUSES DAMAGE TO WIRING HARNESS OF THE MANUAL MODE TRANSMISSION BUTTON. WHEN SHIFTING VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, COLUMN HITS WIRING HARNESS, AND OVER TIME CAUSES WIRING TO THE TRANSMISSION MANUAL MODE BUTTON TO BREAK. ONCE THIS BREAKS, THERE IS NO MEANS TO DOWN SHIFT VEHICLE, CAUSING A HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING ROADS WHERE THERE ARE ELEVATION CHANGES. WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE MANUAL MODE BUTTON FAILURE BY RESEARCHING NISSAN TITAN FORUMS (CLUB TITAN AND TITAN TALK). UPON REMOVING STEERING COLUMN SHROUD IMMEDIATELY NOTICED CHAFFING OF THE WIRING HARNESS, AND THE BROKEN WIRE. CONTACTED NISSAN, NISSAN WAS NOT CONCERNED WITH THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE AGE (CURRENTLY 3 YEARS) OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS REPLACED ON MY NISSAN TITAN, THEY ALMOST DIDN'T COVER THE DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE I WAS 300 MILES OVER MY WARRANTY. I JUST FELT SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BOTH SIDES, WHAT WILL KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN? I WANT TO MAKE SURE NISSAN RECOGNIZES THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS IN NEED OF A RECALL TO FIX IT. THE WORSE PART IS THAT IT LEAKS AXLES GREASE ONTO THE REAR BRAKES CAUSING THEM NOT TO WORK. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL, SEAT BELTS
I BOUGHT A 07 NISSAN TITAN IN JULY OF 07. RIGHT AWAY I FOUND THAT THE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WERE NOT WORKING. INCLUDING THE AIR BAG. I HAD IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN DEC 08. I ONCE AGAIN HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. I WAS IN A HEAD ON COLLISION ON JAN, 23 AT 8:30 PM. I WAS GOING 45 MILES AN HOUR AND HIT A CEMENT AND MEDAL SIGNAL POLE. THE IMPACT WAS IN THE CENTER ON THE TRUCK. MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN YOU BUY A NEW CAR THE SAFETY IS PART OF WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR AND WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK IT IS VERY SCARY. *TR

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30-35 MPH, EARLY MORNING, DRY CONDITIONS. I SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING SEVERE STOMACH PAIN. I LEANED MY HEAD BACK AND NEXT THING I MUST HAVE PASSED OUT. I AWOKE AFTER STRIKING A TELEPHONE POLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET. THE IMPACT WAS DEAD CENTER. THE LICENSE PLATE IS THE EXACT SHAPE OF THE POLE, INFACT THE SENSOR IS DIRECTLY BEHIND AND UNDER THE BUMPER FROM THE PLATE. THE SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND THE AIRBAGS NEITHER ONE DIDN'T DEPLOY. THE CRUISE WAS SET, AND THERE WERE NO SKID MARKS, SO I MUST HAVE HIT THE POLE GOING 30-35 MPH. THE POLE IS APPROXIMATELY 3' FROM ROAD. I SUFFERED CHEST AND BACK INJURIES, AND STILL RECOVERING. LUCKILY I'M STILL ALIVE! THE INTERIOR LOOKS PERFECT LIKE IT NEVER WAS WRECKED, ON THE OTHER HAND THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED. THE BUMPERS ENDS WHERE LITERALLY WRAPPED AROUND THE POLE. IT WAS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN, LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I DO HAVE PHOTOS. *TR

WHEELS:HUB, WHEELS:RIM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, TIRES, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THIS IS MY 2ND NISSAN TITAN IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS! I TRADED IN A 2005 WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES BECAUSE OF 3 FULL TIRE SET REPLACEMENTS AND NEW BRAKES AT 6,000 MILES AND PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER STATED ARE CURRENTLY FIXED IN THE NEW 2007 MODELS. MY NEW 2007 AT 1200 MILES DEALER REPLACED DEFECTIVE RIMS WITH A NEW SET OF DEFECTIVE RIMS THAT ARE A AFTER MARKET PLASTIC HUBCAP GLUED TO THE STEEL RIM WHICH IS CLICKING AND POPPING WHILE IN MOTION AND AFTER 15 MINUTES DRIVING WHEN I PARK THEY STILL POP AND CLICK UNTIL THEY COMPLETELY COOL DOWN WHICH IS ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. I ALSO HAVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW GO DOWN BY ITSELF AND STOP EXACTLY AT 3 INCHES AFTER I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE IT, MY AC DOES NOT COOL AT ALL AND OFTEN DOES NOT COME ON EVEN WHEN MY GPS SCREEN SAYS IT IS SET ON HIGH AND RUNNING I HAVE TO PULL OVER TURN OFF TRUCK THEN RESTART TRUCK TO GET AC TO COME ON. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A TSB ON IT THAT I GAVE THEM! DEALER SAID WINDOW PROBLEM IS DUE TO GEORGIA HEAT, IT IS DOING WHAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO BUT MY OTHER 3 WINDOWS DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM! MY RIMS THEY STATED THAT THEY WANT TO PUT MORE GLUE A TSB TECH TO FIX THE PROBLEM! THAT IS NOT A REPAIR THAT IS A BAND AID THAT WILL NOT HOLD WITH THE HEAT TIRES PUT OFF! AS OF NOW I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE ANY NISSAN EVER AGAIN AND I WILL BE BUYING NEW RIMS FOR MY TRUCK AND NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS NOT HELPED AT ALL WHAT SO EVER ONLY TELL ME TO DO THE TSB GLUE REPAIR AND EVEN THOUGH I PAID 1800.00 EXTRA FOR CHROME RIM PACKAGE THEY WILL NOT REFUND OR PURCHASE NEW RIMS AT ALL SO I AM ON MY OWN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
A 7 WAY TRAILER PLUG ADAPTER WAS PLUGGED UPSIDE DOWN INTO A 2007 NISSAN TITANS RECEPTACLE SOCKET AND IT CAUSED THE CHASSIS WIRING HARNESS, THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS AND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS TO ALL MELT DOWN. OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE ALSO PROBABLY DAMAGED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THERE WAS NOT A PROPERLY DESIGNED CIRCUIT TO LIMIT THE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR IT MALFUNCTIONED. ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE DID NOT CATCH FIRE, THE PLASTIC COATING ON THE WIRING WAS MELTED DOWN, THE PLUG ADAPTER WAS VERY HOT AND IT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FIRE IF THE PLUG WOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT IN LONG ENOUGH. IT IS SUGGESTED THAT THIS DEFECT BE INVESTIGATED BY NISSAN. *TR
