UNKNOWN OR OTHER
2005 NISSAN TITAN, THE HEATER WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, THE FAN BLOWS FINE ALONG WITH THE A/C, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE TRUCK IS MOVING OR STATIONARY.THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE DASH WHEN I SWITCH THE CONTROL FROM, FLOOR TO DASH OR FROM DEFROST TO FLOOR, ETC. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN 2015, BUT ASSUME IT HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CERTAIN 2005 NISSAN TITANS WERE RECALLED IN CAMPAIGN #10V074000 DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING THAT THERE WAS FUEL REMAINING WHEN THE TANK WAS ACTUALLY EMPTY. THIS OCCURRED TO MY VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2013. THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND I LOST POWER STEERING. I WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO TURN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY. AFTER CONTACTING NISSAN, THEY DECLARED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WAS NOT AFFECTED ALTHOUGH I WAS HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN INTERSTATE I-95 IN PHILADELPHIA WHEN I OUT OF NO WHERE I HEARD A LOW PITCHED HOWELING NOISE, I WAS PASSING THREW A CONSTRUCTION ZONE SO I COULDN'T PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER AND LOOK FOR A ISSUE. A FEW SECONDS LATER I HEAR A LOUD SERIES OF THUMPING AND MY TRUCK IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE IS TRAVELING SIDEWAYS AT ROUND 45MPH, I SWERVED AND MISSED SEVERAL CARS AND MANAGED TO JUST MISS THE GUARD RAIL AND COME TO A STOP. IF I WAS TRAVELING ANYTHING OVER 45MPH, IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PRETTY FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. I THEN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD LOCKED UP THE REAR WHEELS AND THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD TORN OUT OF THE REAR AXLE. DO TO THE REAR WHEELS SUDDENLY BECOMING LOCKED, MADE THE TRUCK NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO FIND THAT THE REAR AXLE HAD FILLED WITH MOISTURE DO TO A DEFECT IN THE SEAL & VENT OF THE SET UP. I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN THE NISSAN TITAN WORLD.

ENGINE
THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE FAULTY AND CRACK ALLOWING DEADLY CARBON MONOXIDE EXHAUST GASES TO ENTER THE CAB OF THE TRUCK WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THIS COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS AND CRASH. IT WAS ONLY AFTER MY 6TH LONG ROAD TRIP (3+ HOURS DRIVING) DID I DISCOVER I WAS BEING POISONED BY CARBON MONOXIDE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO AN EXHAUST REPAIR COMPANY AND AS SOON AS I MENTIONED MY VEHICLE THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME HE WAS 99% SURE I HAD A CRACKED MANIFOLD. HE LATER CONFIRMED THIS WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH REVEALED BOTH MANIFOLDS CRACKED AND LEAKING EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE CAB. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED ME JUST SITTING IN A PARKING LOT! I THOUGHT I WAS JUST GETTING BAD HEADACHES FROM THE LONG DRIVE AND MY NAUSEA WAS FROM THE EXTREME HEADACHES. AFTER THIS HAPPENING SO MANY TIMES I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE MORE TO THIS. THINK ABOUT SOMEBODY DRIVING, BEING POISONED TO THE POINT TO WHERE THEY PULL OFF THE ROAD TO REST AND TRY TO SLEEP OFF THEIR HEADACHE IN A RUNNING VEHICLE TO STAY WARM AND END UP DYING. NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS. I DON'T WANT A NEW DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD, I WANT A FIX!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER DRIVING FOR 250-300 MILES WITH STOPS FOR FUEL AND FOOD THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND QUITS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE ROAD AND TURNING OFF THE IGNITION FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THE ENGINE WILL RESTART AND RUN FOR 10 T0 20 MINUTES UNTIL IT QUITS AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AT SPEED OF 70+/- MPH. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 6 OR 8 MONTHS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND SEVERAL PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED ACCORDING TO THE ECM SERVICE ENGINE CODES. NOTHING HAS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE TRUCK TO NISSAN DEALER FOR HELP. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND SAID THEY HAD NO RECORD OF ANY SUCH PROBLEM AND COULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS THEY DROVE THE TRUCK AND HAD THE PROBLEM HAPPEN WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO QUIT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT THIS POINT NEITHER DOES NISSAN. I BELIEVE THIS LOSE OF POWER IS AS DANGEROUS AS THE GM IGNITION PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED A LOST OF POWER. SINCE I NEED THE TRUCK FOR TRANSPORTATION I CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BUT TRY TO STAY IN THE RIGHT LANE SO I CAN GET OFF THE ROAD WHEN IT QUITS.

REAL AXLE SEAL LEAK. NISSAN DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPLACING THE SEAL BUT SAYS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AXLE AND TO REPLACE AXLE. IF NISSAN KNOWS THE AXLE IS FAULTY AND REQUIRES THE AXLE TO BE REPLACED INSTEAD OF JUST REPLACING THE SEAL THEN THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND PAY FOR THE FIX UNDER A RECALL.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING TO WORK IN THE MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, AT APPROX 65 MPH, I EXPERIENCED MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN SHUT COMPLETELY DOWN LOSING ALL POWER TO THE ENGINE RESULTING IN A LOSS OF POWER TO ALL SUPPORTING ENGINE ACCESSORIES INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND ABS. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING, BY DOWN SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL, WHICH FAILED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO FIND A FIND A SPOT TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY AND CALL FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. IT WAS LATER DETERMINED THAT I HAD RUN OUT OF FUEL, DESPITE THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWING WELL OVER 1/4 OF A TANK OF USABLE FUEL. AT THIS POINT I DISCOVERED A RECALL CAMPAIGN FOR THE 2005 - 2009 NISSAN TITAN INSTRUMENT PANEL FUEL GAUGE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V074000) AND PROCEEDED TO CALL THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED IN THE REMEDY PORTION OF THE RECALL. WHEN SPEAKING WITH NISSAN IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN, AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE AT THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP BY NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO CONFIRM MY FINDING AND SEE IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR FOR ME UNDER THE RECALL. WHEN I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE VIN WASN'T APART OF THE RECALL, BUT DID SEE A SERVICE BULLETIN ASSOCIATED WITH THAT MAKE AND MODEL. IT WAS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RECOVER WARRANTY MONEY FROM NISSAN, AND INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. BOTTOM LINE, IT CAME DOWN TO A MONETARY ISSUE NOT A SAFETY FACTOR ISSUE FOR NISSAN. IT WAS OBVIOUS MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES AS THE OTHER 2005 NISSAN TITAN VIN'S IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. HOWEVER, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE IN TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER, IT IS OBVIOUS NISSAN FEELS THE ONUS OF LIABILITY ULTIMATELY FALLS ON ME AS A CONSUMER AND NOT THEM, IF I WOULD LIKE TO OPERATE MY VEHICLE IN A SAFE MANNER.

THE TRUCK STALLED OUT NO POWER HAD TO CRASH INTO SHOULDER OF ROAD AND EMBANKMENT. GLAD WE SURVIVED THE BUMPY CRASH, I JUST HAD SUSPENSION WORK DONE THAT SAVED US. WE READ THE IPDM BOARD OR ECM RELAY IS BAD AND CAUSES THIS STALLING TO HAPPEN. PART NUMBER FOR ECM RELAY 284B7-CW29.

HI, I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT TWICE NOW AND IT IS BEFORE THE CAT SO THAT MEANS ITS NOW A GROSS POLLUTER. THE PROBLEM IS YOU GET IT FIXED AND THEY PUT THE SAME PART BACK ON THAT CRACKS AGAIN BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED THE DESIGN. THERE ARE 3 OTHER TITANS IN MY TOWN AND ALL OF US HAVE THE SAME STORY. ALSO THE SWAY BAR MOUNT ON ALL OF OURS ARE BROKE WITCH RESULTS IN VERY POOR HANDLING. I HOPE IT CAN BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. THANK YOU.

I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, STOPPED THE TRUCK COMPLETELY, SHIFTED FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AND AS SOON AS I TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL I HERD A LOUD POP AND THEN VIOLENT GRINDING. I SHIFTED MY TRUCK TO 4X4 TO PULL IT OFF THE ROAD WHERE IT IS STILL JUST SETTING WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE TOOK THE TITAN TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL SERVICE AND GENERAL SERVICE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR THAT WAS ON RECALL NOTICE IS NOT COVERED ON OUR PARTICULAR VIN. INTERESTING THAT THE $110 DIAGNOSTIC TEST I WAS CHARGED FOR SHOWED THAT SENSOR HAS FAILED, BUT NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER MY VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. BY LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE, I CAN SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY CONSUMER AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE. MAKES ME WONDER IF NISSAN IS ACTUALLY HONORING ANY OF THE RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR REPAIR. INTERESTING THAT AFTER MY SERVICE DATE, I WAS CONTACTED BY A SALES REPRESENTATIVE WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP ASKING IF I WOULD CONSIDER BRINGING IN MY 2005 TITAN FOR A TRADE-IN OPPORTUNITY. I DON'T WANT A NEW CAR, I WANT THIS ONE REPAIRED WITH THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED THE NATIONAL OFFICE AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND THE INDIVIDUAL HANDLING THE CASE ALSO DECLINED MY REQUEST FOR REPAIR. ON THAT SAME CALL, I WAS ASKED HOW MANY NISSAN VEHICLES I OWN AND IF I WOULD CONSIDER BUYING A NISSAN IN THE FUTURE. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS RECALL, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER NISSAN. NOR WILL I RECOMMEND NISSAN TO ANYONE WHO ASKED WHAT OUR EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE NISSAN MOTOR CORPORATION. *TR

WHEN I PUT VEHICLE IN DRIVE, IT WOULD ONLY GO IN REVERSE. I DISCOVERED THE LINKAGE FROM THE GEARSHIFT LEVER TO THE CABLE HAD SEPARATED. THE PLASTIC RETAINING RING ON THE SHIFT CABLE HAD BROKEN TO PIECES AND LEFT NOTHING TO HOLD THE CABLE TO THE SHIFT LEVER. THIS IS POTENTIALLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS A DRIVER COULD MOVE LEVER TO PARK AND THINK HE IS ACTUALLY IN PARK WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED. SOMEONE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS STILL RUNNING WILL THEN HAVE A RUNAWAY VEHICLE. LOCAL NISSAN DEALER HAD NO REPLACEMENT PART. I INSTALLED A RETAINING RING AND CLIP. THE FIX COSTS PENNIES AND JUST A FEW MINUTES TIME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, MY ENGINE STALLED. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER TO MY TRUCK, WITH NO ERROR CODES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAD TO PLACE MY TRUCK IN NEUTRAL WHILE AT SPEED IN TRAFFIC IN THE LEFT LANE AND COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. DURING THIS TIME, I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. AFTER I SAFELY STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER, I TRIED TO RESTART MY ENGINE. MY ENGINE WOULD NOT START. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, MY TRUCK HAD INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WHILE STOPPED, WITH AN ERROR CODE THAT POINTED TO AN INEFFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD MY MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR REPLACED, MY ECM RELAY REPLACED, AND MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED, AT A COST OF ~ $5000 TOTAL. I AM NOW TOLD THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE IS LIKELY THE CULPRIT FOR ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, WHICH WILL COST ME ANOTHER $700 TO REPLACE. IN RESEARCHING PREVIOUS RECALLS, THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THE ECM RELAY, BUT NOT THE IPDM MODULE. IT APPEARS IN OTHER TITAN FORUMS THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED FROM THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
