POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY 2006 TITAN STARTED VIBRATING LIKE RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS ON SIDE OF HIGHWAY. TOOK STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM SPLIT AND CONTAMINATED THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR REPLACED $7313.56. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. AFTER READING MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING ON OTHER NISSAN VEHICLES, THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION AND A RECALL ON THE COOLING SYSTEM THAT CAN CAUSE THIS AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. *TR

POWER TRAIN
HAD TRUCK IN SHOP FOR EXHAUST PIPE FALLING OFF AND IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXEL SEALS AND BEARINGS ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AXEL HAD BEEN LEAKING FLUID ONTO MY TIRES AND BRAKES WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN BRAKE FAILURE OR FIRE. NISSAN WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REAR AXEL REPAIRS. THIS IS THE SECOND NEW NISSAN FACTORY AXEL TO BE INSTALLED ON THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2006. IT IS CURRENTLY HAVING THE REAR SEALS AND BEARINGS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN MODEL AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY IN NISSAN TITAN. TRUCK FLOOR GOT HOT AT ONE POINT. LATER TRUCK SPUTTERED AND SHUT ITSELF DOWN. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT DROVE FINE FOR A WHILE. NEXT DAY ALL OF US IN THE CAR WERE A LITTLE SICK AND NAUSEATED. CAR DROVE FINE THE REST OF THE TRIP AND IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER WE ARRIVED AT OUR DESTINATION THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME UP. LOOKED UP THE CODES WHICH WERE THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAD LOSS EFFICIENCY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEAL FOR A COMPLETE DIAGNOSIS. DEALER CONFIRMED ALL 4 CAT CONVERTERS WERE DEAD AND IT PROBABLY CAUSED BY A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWS THAT NISSAN TITANS HAVE A HISTORY OF CRACKS IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THIS NOT ONLY RUINS THE CAT CONVERTERS BUT EXHAUST FUMES LEAK INTO THE CABIN CAUSING A HEALTH RISK. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT THIS BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM YET. *TR

NOTICED THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL IS LEAKING FLUID. COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE AXLE TO SEIZE AND/OR BRAKES TO FAIL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. LUCKILY I HAD A MECHANIC NOTICE IT BEFORE I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO POOR QUALITY PARTS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLDS ARE CRACKED. THEY ARE NORMALLY COVERED UNDER THE EMISSIONS WARRANTY OF 8YR/80K MILES. I AM OUT OF WARRANTY BY 4,000 MILES. I PUT 4K MILES EVERY 3 MONTHS AND I HAVE HEARD THE TICKING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD FOR OVER THIS TIME PERIOD. I CONTACTED NISSAN USA FOR LOYAL CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND WAS DENIED. I FILED AN APPEAL AND WAS DENIED WITHIN 2 HOURS. I HAVE OWNED (3) NISSANS IN THE PAST 7 YEARS AND EXPECT SOME COMPENSATION. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM ON ALL TITANS 2004 TO 2007. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL FOR EXHAUST GASES GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR

I NOTICED AN EXHAUST LEAK ON MY TRUCK. TOOK IT TO A REPUTABLE EXHAUST SHOP, THEY TOLD ME THEIR WAS A CRACK IN THE CONVERTER AND I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER CHECKING THE WEB I REALIZED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (80000 ON EXHAUST EMISSIONS) MY TRUCK ONLY HAD 65K. THEY REPLACED BOTH MANIFOLDS AS THEY WERE BOTH CRACKED. THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE COST ME 2500.00! AFTER SEEING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE TITAN TRUCKS, I THINK THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD A FRONT DIFFERENTIAL LEAK WHICH WAS THE PINION SEAL, THIS REPAIR WILL COST ME 300-500.00. OF COURSE ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SO I WILL HAVE TO PAY THIS. AFTER SEEING THIS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM, I FEEL NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR BOTH ME AND FELLOW MOTORIST. MY TRUCK HAS 65,000 MILES AND IS BABIED! TOTAL REPAIRS WOULD BE AROUND 3000.00 FOR THE MANIFOLDS AND THE DIFFERENTIAL, I FEEL SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. *TR

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
ABOUT A MONTH AGO I NOTICE A WEIRD NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY TRUCK WHENEVER I WOULD SLOW DOWN AND SOMETIMES SPEED UP. AS THE WEEK WENT BY I NOTICE THE NOISE GETTING LOUDER. IT STARTED OUT WITH A CLICKING SOUND THEN IT INTENSIFIED WITH A CLUCKING SOUND. AFTER HAVING A LOCAL SHOP LOOK AT MY TRUCK THEY FOUND FLUIDS BY THE RIGHT BREAK, WHICH INDICATED THAT A SEAL HAD GONE BAD AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE CLUCKING AND CLICKING NOISES ARE FROM THE GEARS IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. PIECES OF THE GEARS HAD BROKEN OFF. THEY ESTIMATED A JOB LIKE THIS WOULD RUN ABOUT $3500!!! I DO NOT HAVE THE KIND OF MONEY! I HAVE READ ALL THE TREADS POSTED BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACT NISSAN'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND GOT NOWHERE! PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN HAVE NISSAN PAY FOR THIS!!! *TR
