I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A NOISE FROM MY BACKEND AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED TO FIND MY LEAF SPRING BUSTED AND STICKING THROUGH MY TRUCK BED. I CALLED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO OFFER ANY HELP BECAUSE OF IT BEING A USED VEHICLE. IT SEEMS IT WOULD BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO DO A RECALL NOW UNTIL WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED. WHEN I ASKED THE YOUNG LADY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TIME WHEN THE OTHER SIDE GOES AND I GET INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT KILLING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE? HER REPLY WAS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS. WHAT LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE. *TR

I NOTICED A SOUND COMING FROM MY BACKEND. WHEN I GOT HOME I OPENED MY TAILGATE I FOUND THAT MY DRIVER SIDE LEAF SPRING SHACKLE HAD FAILED AND THE LEAF SPRING HAD PUNCTURED MY BED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO FIND OUT THE $2000 WARRANTY THROUGH WHEELZ I PURCHASED DID NOT COVER IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THING YET NISSAN ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS HAD MOISTURE INSIDE OF MY DRIVERS HEADLIGHT SINCE IT WAS NEW. THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 02/20/2014 AND ASKED FOR A REVIEW OF THE DEFECT AND REPAIR. I DOCUMENTED THE DEFECT AT HANLEES NISSAN PER NISSAN REQUEST AND FORWARDED THE INFORMATION TO THEM. I AM TOLD SINCE THE VEHICLE IS BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME. I CONTEND THAT THIS DEFECT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CREATES A HAZARD FOR LAMP FAILURE AND DISTORTS LIGHT EMISSION FROM THE HEADLIGHT WHEN IN USE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE HEADLIGHTS HAVING ISSUES WITH WATER TRAPPED INSIDE THE LIGHT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE RESPONSE FROM NISSAN AND BELIEVE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT NISSAN SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFECT AND HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO REMEDY THE ISSUE OR ISSUE A REFUND FOR MY TITAN THAT I PURCHASED NEW. *TR

NOTICED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, A CLICKING SOUND WHICH BECAME LOUDER WHEN DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE DEALER STATED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. THEY FIXED IT. SHORTLY AFTER THE OTHER EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND THEY FIXED THAT AS WELL. SINCE THEN, THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND EITHER ONE OR BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE CRACKED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO COST LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I WAS UPSET, BUT WAS WILLING TO ACCEPT THE SITUATION, UNTIL ONE MORNING I GOT A STRONG SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. BEING A MECHANIC, I HAD MY HUNCHES. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT ON OCCASION I GET EXHAUST EMISSION IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY FOUND ONLINE THAT THERE ARE AN ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME THING. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY THAT IF THE LEAK IS AROUND ANY WIRING, THE HOT GAS MAY CAUSE THE WIRING TO MELT CAUSING A POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. THAT OF COURSE IS JUST AN EDUCATED OPINION. HOW MANY MORE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS HAVE TO CRACK BEFORE NISSAN WILL ADMIT THEY ARE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. IS IT ABOUT THE MONEY TO RECALL THE VEHICLE OR IS IT ABOUT SAFETY AFTER ALL? IN ADDITION, I WOULD HAVE COMPLETED THIS FORM A LOT SOONER, BUT I WAS JUST RECENTLY INFORMED ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY HAS MORE WEAR AND TEAR AND MORE MILEAGE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THIS HAPPENED MANY MILES AGO. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO READ MY LETTER. *TR

POWER TRAIN, STRUCTURE:BODY
TRAVELING 20 TO 25 MPH, UP A HILL, IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ROAD CONDITIONS WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD "BANG". THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT, STRIKING A TREE. NEVER WOULD YOU EXPECT A VEHICLE TO BRAKE IN SUCH A WAY AS TO THROW YOU INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL ISSUED. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL AND TRANSFER CASE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE FRONT AXLE HAD BACKED OUT RESULTING IN FLUID LEAKING OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT HAD BEEN REDESIGNED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SUNDAY EVENING MY SON WAS DRIVING ONTO AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-10 INTERSTATE WHEN THE TRUCK DIED. FUEL GAUGE INDICATED TRUCK HAD FUEL. WOULD NOT START, LEFT ON SIDE OF INTERSTATE UNTIL NEXT DAY. BOUGHT SOME GAS TO PUT INTO TANK WHICH STARTED THE TRUCK. HE DROVE TO FILL TANK ! FUEL GAUGE INACCURATELY DISPLAYS FUEL READING. CALLED NISSAN TO INFORMED THEM OF MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL. I WAS TOLD I SERVICED MY TRUCK WITH THIS RECALL WHICH I TOLD CORPORATE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL SYSTEM. I ALWAYS ASK FOR OLD PARTS BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED. TODAY, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO PICAYUNE NISSAN TO GET INFO ON COST, DIAGNOSTICS FOR CORPORATE FOR THEM TO MAKE DECISION TO APPROVE THIS RECALL WORK. I SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER THAT THE DEALERSHIP SENDS USED PARTS TO CORPORATE BECAUSE THEY PAID FOR WORK. I ASK I SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO INSPECT OLD WORN PARTS?! DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $400.00 FOR THIS RECALL WORK. WHY IS A RECALL WARRANTY ALLOWED A ONE-TIME FIX!?! LEMON COMES TO MIND!!!! THX. *TR

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SITTING OVERNIGHT WITH TEMPERATURE IN THE 40'S, WHEN PUTTING THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION INTO DRIVE,IT WOULD KEEP DROPPING OUT OF GEAR. THE TRUCK DROVE FINE WHEN MANUALLY SHIFTING THROUGH THE GEARS. PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR MOST OF A YEAR BUT DID NOT GENERATE AN ERROR CODE. FINALLY DEVELOPED AN ERROR CODE INDICATING PROBLEM IN FIRST GEAR OF THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY WITH TCM. THIS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VALVE BODY INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH HAD BEEN CONTAMINATED BY AN UNDETECTABLE RADIATOR TO TRANS COOLER LEAK ALSO REQUIRING THE RADIATOR TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM, FOR WHICH NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING, OTHER THAN PUTTING A SPECIAL COATING ON BOLTS INTERNAL TO THE TRANSMISSION TO DETECT THE PRESENCE OF COOLANT. THIS PROBLEM CAN CAUSE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. IT COULD BE EASILY PREVENT BY THE INSTALLATION OF A SEPARATE TRANSMISSION COOLER. *TR

WHILE WAITING FOR MY WIFE TO COME OUT OF A STORE WITH TRUCK RUNNING I NOTICED A LIGHT FLICKERING IN THE STORE WINDOW. MY WIFE CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND GOT INTO THE TRUCK. WHILE BACKING OUT I NOTICED THE FLICKERING LIGHT IN THE WINDOW COMING WITH ME. WHEN I STOPPED THE TRUCK I NOTICED SMOKE COMING UP OVER MY HOOD THEN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK STARTED TO GET WARM. I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND TOLD MY WIFE THAT I THINK MY TRUCK WAS ON FIRE. I GOT OUT OF THE TRUCK, WENT TO THE FRONT AND SAW THE CONDENSER FAN MOTOR ON FIRE. I WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A CAN OF COKE THAT WAS ON THE GROUND. A LITTLE WHILE LATER IT FLAMED UP AGAIN AND HAD TO GET A BUCKET OF WATER FROM THE STORE CLERK. THE FIRE CAUSED OVER $4100.00 IN DAMAGE. I HAD A RECALL ON THIS CONDENSER FAN MOTOR, HAD IT TAKEN CARE OF IN FEBRUARY 2012. CAUGHT FIRE ON 09/02/2013. *TR

I OWN A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 47000 MILES. PARTIAL VIN "1N6BA07A0" WHILE TAKING IT TO THE LOCAL MIDAS SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC POINTED OUT A LEAK ON LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL. THEY QUOTED ME WITH $350.00 TO REPLACE THE SEAL. HOWEVER THEY ALSO SUGGESTED TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP ATTEMPT TO REPLACE UNDER A RECALL/ WARRANTY... THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED $1900.00 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE REAR AXLE UNDER THE GUIDANCE FROM THEIR TECHNICIANS AND IT BEING OVER THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND/OR NO RECALL. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A RIPOFF. HERE IS A QUOTE I FOUND ON THE CLUB TITAN FORUM SITE. HTTP://WWW.CLUBTITAN.ORG/FORUMS/ARCHIVE/INDEX.PHP/T-32631.HTML "LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 8000 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. *AK"

TODAY I FOUND THAT MY REAR AXLE OIL SEALS ARE LEAKING. IT IS SO BAD THAT THE OIL IS GETTING ON THE REAR BRAKES. WHICH MAKES SENSE CONSIDERING I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY REAR BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH BETTER OIL SEALS SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE. *TR

2006 NISSAN TITAN EXHAUST MANIFOLDS CRACKED AGAIN. FIXED AT DEALER AT 62,837, REPLACED BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WITH NEW ONES. NOW AT 118023 MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED AGAIN, OUT OF WARRANTY AND DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP REPAIR SOMEWHERE AROUND $2900 TO FIX BOTH. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND HAD I KNOWN PREVIOUSLY I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN REPLACED THE FAULTY MANIFOLDS WITH THE SAME NEW FAULTY MANIFOLDS. *TR
