THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ON MY NISSAN TITAN CRACKED PRIOR TO REACHING 95K MILES. WITH THE CRACK, EXHAUST FUMES ARE MAKING THEIR WAY INTO THE AC SYSTEM CAUSING THE CAB OF MY TRUCK TO BECOME FILLED WITH CARBON DIOXIDE. I HAVE DONE ADAMANT RESEARCH AND DETERMINED THAT I CAN REPLACE THE MANIFOLD AT A LOCAL SHOP, BUT THAT ALMOST EVERY TITAN OWNER OUT THERE HAS EXPERIENCED CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY 2008 NISSAN TITAN BRAND NEW IN 2008, SOMEWHERE AROUND 75000 MILES MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL CAME APART, FORTUNATELY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED COVERED THE $5000.00 REPLACEMENT COST THAT NISSAN WANTED TO CHARGE. HERE I AM AT 138000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN IS NO HELP AT ALL, THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN USED MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH MINIMAL USE TO THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM. I SERVICE EVERYTHING MYSELF USING ONLY WHAT NISSAN RECOMMENDS. IM NOT IMPRESSED WITH MY $40000 BOAT ANCHOR, IT WILL BE THE LAST TIME I EVER PURCHASE A NISSAN. THIS IS THE SECOND TITAN I HAVE OWNED, DIDN'T HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH MY 2004.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE HAD OVER A DOZEN INSTANCES WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES THE BREAK PEDDLE WOULD PUSH TO THE FLOOR AND YOU WOULD HEAR A LOUD NOISE AS IF THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM WAS FAILING. YOU COULD FEEL IT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT FRIGHTENS THE HECK OUT OF YOU. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO MY LOCAL PREMIER NISSAN IN METAIRIE, LA AND HAD THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOK AT IT, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND INFORMED THEY COULD NOT HELP. I HAVE HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK AND IT HAS HAPPENED WITH THEM AND MY 16 YEAR OLD SON HAS EXPERIENCED IT AS WELL. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID ONE DAY IT WILL FAIL AND I WILL LOOSE THE ABILITY TO STOP MY VEHICLE. AFTER EACH INCIDENT, I HAVE TO TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT TO STOP THE NOISE FROM COMING FROM THE ABS BREAK SYSTEM. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THAT I HAVE TO TURN MY TRUCK OFF WHILE HAVING A GREEN LIGHT, ON THE INTERSTATE AND ANY OTHER DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WISH I COULD GET SOME CLARITY AS TO FIXING THIS BREAKING ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I PURCHASED MY TRUCK IN 2014 FROM COUNTRY FORD. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE I HAD A TIRE SIDE WALL COME APART ON ONE OF MY BRAND NEW TIRES. I TOOK IT TO COUNTRY FORD AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. SO I TOOK IT TO GOOD YEAR IN SOUTHAVEN MS WHO SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND THEY EXPLAINED THAT TO COUNTRY FORD'S GENERAL MANAGER WHO IN RETURN FINALLY REPLACED THE TIRE. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ALL FOUR TIRES ON THE GROUND PATCHED BY ELAINE TIRE COMPANY; TOTAL NUMBER OF PATCHES DONE WERE 5 TIMES. THE TIRE REPAIRMAN STATED THAT ROCKS HAD POKED HOLES IN THE TIRES IN THE TREAD AREA. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT ALL THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK ARE PASSENGER RATED TIRES, INCLUDING THE SPARE WHICH ARE NOT DESIGNED FOR MY TRUCK, INSTEAD OF PUTTING LT TIRES ON THE TRUCK WHICH SHOULD BE MANDATORY BY ALL CAR SALES FACILITIES THEY PUT 4-PLY P-RATED TIRES ON MY TRUCK WHICH ARE DESIGNED FOR PASSENGER CARS. ALL TRUCKS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE LT-RATED TIRES WITH A MINIMUM OF AT LEAST A 6-PLY TIRE DESIGN. THESE TIRES ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH WHEN THE SIDE WALL CAME APART; AND IF DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD CAN FLATTEN A TIRE THE P-RATED TIRES THAT EASILY THEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE USED AT ALL. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET COUNTRY FORD AND GOOD YEAR TO REPLACE THESE DANGEROUS TIRES SEVERAL TIMES WITH A PROPER LT-RATED TIRE. THEY BOTH REFUSED STATING THE TIRES SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO DO WHAT EVER I WANTED TO DO. EVIDENTLY THEY ARE WORTHLESS FOR EVERYDAY SIMPLE DRIVING, IF THE CAN BE FLATTENED WITH A ROCK.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES HAVE A FADING BRAKE PEDAL, NISSAN SAYS THIS IS OK/NORMAL. I SAY THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE BRAKES WORK FINE UNLESS YOU ARE IN A PANIC SITUATION. WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE PEDAL TO MAKE A QUICK STOP IF NECESSARY ON THE HIGHWAY THE PEDAL TRAVELS 4" TO 5". YOU LOSE SECONDS IN A "NEED TO STOP NOW" SITUATION. NOT ONLY DOES THIS MAKE THE DRIVER TRY TO PUMP THE BRAKES BUT THE TRAVEL IS SO LONG AS TO EXTEND YOUR LEG COMPLETELY AND STILL NEED TO COMPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL MORE. DIDN'T REALIZE THIS PROBLEM EXISTED UNTIL THE OTHER DAY WHEN I NEEDED TO PANIC STOP. ALMOST LOST CONTROL TRYING TO COMPENSATE FOR THE PEDAL TRAVEL. ALSO WHEN BACKING MY BOAT INTO THE LAKE - CONSTANT PRESSURE MAKES THE PEDAL TRAVEL DOWN. THE BRAKES HOLD BUT I HAVE TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS "MUSHY" PEDAL. I HAVE RECENTLY REPLACED THE BRAKES, CALIPERS AND MASTER CYLINDER TO NO AVAIL. I GUESS I COULD REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE COMPONENTS BUT ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH IT WON'T HELP. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE NEWER VEHICLES OF NISSAN (NOT JUST TITAN) HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW THEY GET AWAY WITH THIS I DON'T KNOW. ITS A PROBLEM YOU WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT UNLESS YOU'VE DRIVEN THESE VEHICLES AWHILE..I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND BEING "DEAD ENDED" BY NISSAN. I'M 63, HAVE WORKED ON CARS MY WHOLE LIFE, I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS AS NO DOUBT MANY HAVE BEEN INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM. I CANT SELL THE VEHICLE TO ANYONE ELSE KNOWING THERE'S NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. PS - FORD, CHRYSLER AND CHEVY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY SOLUTION IT SEEMS IS TO MODIFY/REPLACE THE WHOLE BRAKE SYSTEM -- EXPENSIVE AND DIFFICULT - WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS. PLEASE HELP.
