ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 NISSAN TITAN THE REAR WIRING HARNESS IS ROUTED OVER THE FRAME RAIL DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE TAILPIPE CAUSING IT TO MELT IN THE EVENT OF AN EXHAUST LEAK. THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND NOW I'M STUCK SPLICING WIRES TOGETHER AS THE LOCAL DEALER IN SAINT JOHN NB WANT OVER $1000.00 TO REPLACE, THIS PROBLEM SEEM TO BE A COMMON ONE AMONG OTHER OWNERS I HAVE TALKED TO AND POSES A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD / POTENTIAL ACCIDENT DUE TO COMPLETE SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER. NISSAN CANADA SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS (I'M SURE THEY ALREADY ARE) TO AVOID ANY LEGAL PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE DUE TO THEM NOT RECOMMENDING AN INSPECTION / NOTICE OR RECALL OF THE REAR WIRING HARNESS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
JUST HAD BOTH MANIFOLDS REPLACED UNDER NISSAN WARRANTY. AS I WAS DRIVING AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP I HEARD A LOUD POP TURNING RIGHT FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. TURNED AROUND BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIPS PARKING LOT I HEARD ANOTHER POP? THE SERVICE TECH DROVE IT AROUND THEIR SERVICE AREA AND SAID MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS GOING OUT. NISSAN HAS KNOWN THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR YEARS ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY TRUCKS YEARS BUT REFUSES TO FIX IT UNDER A RECALL. THIS IS A $3500.00 FIX WHICH THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY AND NISSAN PROFITS FROM A POORLY DESIGNED COMPONENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL NISSAN TITANS FROM '04 - '07. *TR

TRUCK WAS DUE FOR A STATE INSPECTION, TRUCK WOULD NOT PASS- BECAUSE OF REAR BRAKES NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO LEAKING REAR AXLE SEALS. REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING CAUSING EMERGENCY BRAKE TO NOT FUNCTION. FOUND A FORUM WITH THE SAME PROBLEM MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING-TITANTALK. HOW CAN THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS A SAFETY PROBLEM, NOT BE A SAFETY RECALL? COME ON NISSAN, YOU JUST LOST ANOTHER CUSTOMER.
