ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ACTIVATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT ONE OF THE SENSORS INSIDE THE AIR CONDITIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE AND COOLANT FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH AT THE COST OF $212, WHICH WAS AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT OR ANTI-FREEZE IN THE VEHICLE. THE RADIATOR WAS BONE DRY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 50,000.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 77K MILES AND BOTH REAR OUTER AXLE SEALS LEAK PROFUSELY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS TITAN OWNERS AND I FEEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA. I HAVE OEM STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES ON IT AND DON'T HAVE ANY SUSPENSION OR DRIVELINE MODIFICATIONS. *TR

EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 2004 TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 WITH 61,000 MILES. APRIL OF 2009 I CHECKED MY AIR CONDITIONER AND FOUND IT NOT TO BE COOLING. I TOOK IT IN THE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME I HAD A LEAK IN THE HIGH PRESSURE AC HOSE. CHARGES FOR REPAIR $450.00. OK NO PROBLEM. IN THE FOLLOWING MONTH OF MAY AFTER RETURNING FROM A TRIP I FOUND OIL BELOW THE RIGHT AXEL. AGAIN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE POWER STEERING WAS BOTH LEAKING. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE HOSE BRACKETS ON THAT MODEL WERE BAD AND THAT ALONG WITH NEW HOSES HE PUT ON THE NEW TYPE OF BRACKETS. HE DIDN'T SAY WHY THE HOSES LEAKED OTHER THAN "YOU KNOW THE TRUCK IS FIVE YEARS OLD." BY THE WAY THE COST FOR THAT REPAIR $859.00. SO IN THE SPAN OF 30 DAYS I HAVE SPENT OVER $1300.00 TO HAVE ALL OF THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSES REPLACED. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE HOSES LIKE THIS ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED AND SOME I KEPT FOR UP TO TEN YEARS. IS IT THE HOSES THAT ARE SUB-STANDARD OR IS IT THE CLAMPS THAT WORE THROUGH THE HOSES? EITHER WAY ALL THE HOSES SHOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. IT DOESN'T MATTER I WAS LOOKING BUYING A NEW TITAN UNTIL THIS CAME UP. NO NEW TITAN FOR ME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY GIRLFRIEND OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED FAILING, SO I PURCHASED NEW BRAKES AND NO CHANGE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO TRY THE MASTER CYLINDER. PURCHASED A NEW ONE, NO CHANGE. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. WE CAN PUMP THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN IT'LL START TO STOP. NISSAN WON'T EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THE ONLY REPLY WE GET FROM THEM IS "IT NEEDS NEW BRAKES, OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE ON BACKWARDS." WE WHERE BROWSING ON THE INTERNET AND SAY AN ARTICLE WHERE THERE WAS A LEMON LAW AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM BUT NISSAN STILL CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND IN OCTOBER OF 2008 I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS AND THE FRONT PINION SEALS. THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE AND THE REAR END WAS FIXED ON APRIL 15, 2009 BUT NOT ABLE TO GET THE FRONT DONE YET. THIS PROBLEM COME ABOUT A YEAR AFTER OWNING IT AND ABOUT 12000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP. I HAVE FILES A COMPLAINT TO NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE EXHAUST TAIL PIPE WAS DAMAGED DUE TO AN UNKNOWN OBSTACLE ON THE ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED, THE PARKING LIGHT ACTIVATED WITHOUT ASSISTANCE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL WAS NONFUNCTIONAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE TAIL PIPE DISENGAGEMENT CONTRIBUTED TO THE MELTING OF THE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE IS OPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000.

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN RECENTLY STARTED LEAKING GEAR OIL FROM BOTH AXLES IN THE REAR. CONCURRENTLY MY BRAKE PADS STARTING ABSORBING THE OIL WHICH IN TURN RUINED MY ROTORS, BRAKE PADS, AND NOW IS COSTING ME A PRETTY PENNY TO GET IT FIXED. MY MECHANIC SAID THE LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORES DO NOT CARRY THESE BEARINGS AND SEALS AND THEREFORE MUST CONTACT THE ORIGINAL DEALER TO ORDER THEM. AFTER READING AND FOLLOWING UP ON THE ADDITIONAL COMPLAINTS BY MANY OTHER TITAN OWNERS, I AM CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT STEPS IN NISSAN TAKING TO RECALL THESE BAD SEALS AND BEARINGS? WHY SHOULD US THE OWNERS HAVE TO FIX COSTLY REPAIRS WHEN NISSAN KNOWS THEIR PRODUCTION EFFORTS WERE NOT PROPERLY TESTED BEFORE FIELDING THE DEALERSHIPS? PLEASE INFORM ME HOW TO GET IT FIXED FREE OF COST TO ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR AXLE SEALS TWICE ALREADY.(ONCE MARCH 2009 AND ONCE ABOUT 1.5 YEARS AGO. WARRANTY COVERED, BUT I AM GETTING CLOSE TO MY WARRANTY LIMIT. I KNOW THAT THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE THE FLUID LEAKS DOWN ON YOUR BRAKES, WHICH IS A BIG FACTORY FAULT. I WAS JUST HOPING THAT SOMEONE COULD HELP ME, AND OTHER TITAN OWNERS, FOR THE SAFETY AND MONEY, OUT OF POCKET WHEN WARRANTY IS UP. NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND COME UP WITH SOMETYPE OF PERMANENT FIX. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. *TR THANK YOU BRIAN CASTLE

REAR DIFFERENTIAL 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILURE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. BRAKE WARP AND SHAKE. THESE ARE OBVIOUS MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NISSAN SHOULD FIX THEM AT NO COST TO OWNER. THESE ARE ALSO CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUES. WE ARE TALKING BRAKE FAILURE AND POSSIBLE REAR END LOCK UP. THIS IS UNHEARD OF WITH A VEHICLE WITH THIS MILEAGE. *TR
