POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I OWN A 2004 TITAN WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. ON 12/3/09 MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BROKE. I NEVER TOWED ANYTHING WITH THIS TRUCK. I NEVER EVEN HAULED ANYTHING HEAVY IN THE BED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FAILED DIFFERENTIAL AT MY EXPENSE SINCE MY WARRANTY RAN OUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE MY FRONT DIFF BREAKING. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN 4X4. I HAD THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAIL WHILE DRIVING ON A SNOW PACKED ROAD. WHEN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FAILED THERE WAS A SECOND OR TWO WHEN THE FRONT WHEELS LOCKED UP AND THEN RELEASED .IT WAS LIKE SOMEONE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. MY SPEED AT THE TIME WAS ABOUT 15 TO 20 MPH. THE FRONT HAD FAILED AND WAS REPLACED AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
DOORS WILL NOT CLOSE IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. THIS HAS FORCED ME TO DRIVE WITH MY DOOR OPEN NUMEROUS TIMES...HOW IS THIS NOT A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN? WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE THE DOORS THEY BOUNCE BACK OPEN AND DO NOT LATCH. *TR

STEERING
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS. THERE IS 51000 MILES ON IT AND AROUND 22,000 MILES I PUT A LIFT ON IT. EVERYTHING WAS FINE WITH THE TRUCK UNTIL I GOT AROUND THE 35,000 MILE RANGE. WHEN I WOULD DRIVE THE TRUCK I WOULD NOTICE LOUD NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK IT TO MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP 2 OR 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE AND THAT IT WAS JUST MY SUSPENSION THAT WAS MAKING THE NOISE. NOW IT HAS BEEN ABOUT 15,000 MILES LATER AND I NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM AROUND THE FRONT AXLE SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD COST $2300 TO FIX IT. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALOT WITH NISSAN TITANS. WHEN I GOT HOME I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH AND FOUND CLOSE TO 100 PEOPLE THAT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE THE ONE TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

STRUCTURE
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK LEAKS ON THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT RAINS THIS HAPPENS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ELECTRICAL WIRING IS LAYING IN A PUDDLE OF WATER. WATER ALSO POURS OUT OF THE DOORS. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IS COVERED IN MOLD AND NOW RUST HAS APPEARED. THIS INCLUDES CARPET, SEATS, STEERING WHEEL AND MORE. FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS ALSO RUSTED. DUE TO THE WATER PROBLEMS THERE IS CONDENSATION ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY POOR. ATTEMPTS MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HAS FAILED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OCCURRED YESTERDAY 11/1/09 AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND PUT ON MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND A SPRING LIKE NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND SCRAPING SOUND OCCURRED WHEN APPLIED. THIS OCCURRED EACH TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR THE NEXT 4MILES UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY, MONDAY. LATE SATURDAY, I HAD TO MOVE MY VEHICLE AT HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY SOUND OR SOFTNESS.THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER OVERNIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS LATE IN THE DAY NEAR CLOSING.. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER SAID THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT REACTED NORMALLY AND "IT PROBABLY WAS SOME DIRT/DUST IN AND AROUND THE BRAKES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STICK'.. THERE WAS NO WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE. TODAY, THE SAME DEALER LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND RAN SOME TESTS AFTER I INSISTED THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAS OCCURRED. THIS TIME THE DEALER FOUND A DEFECTIVE/WORN DELTA SPEED SENSOR AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 1/1/09.

MY BRAKES APPEAR TO MAKE A GROAN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL SHOVE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE STOPPING. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE TRUCK IT APPEARS TO RESET EVERYTHING AND THE BRAKES ARE JUST FINE. MY TRUCK IS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN THAT HAS ~55,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE NO ADVANCE WARNING THAT THIS FAILURE IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IT JUST HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE WARNING. *TR
