POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
CATASTROPHIC REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE. WAS LEAVING WORK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE, CAME TO STOP AT STOPSIGN, HIT THROTTLE TO GO AND BANG, THE REAR BLEW. AFTERWARDS THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, BUT THE DRIVESHAFT WAS SPINNING AND BAD GRINDING AND CLUNKING SOUNDS COULD BE HEARD. I'M SURE NISSAN IS GOING TO REPLACE THE AXEL ASSEMBLY ALTHOUGH IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP. I HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN, AND THE REAR IS ALWAYS REPLACED AS A UNIT, AND NISSAN ISN'T REALLY ACNOWLEDGING THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS, ALTHOUGH SOME HAVE GONE THROUGH 3 REAR ENDS. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THEY ALL HAVE THE ELECTRONIC LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL OPTION. NOBODY WAS HURT, BUT I WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS
WITH 1/4 TANK OF GAS OR LESS LEFT IN FUEL TANK,GAS POURS BACK OUT WHEN FILLING FROM ANY GAS STATION.GAS PUMP WILL CLICK WITHIN 10-15 SECONDS OF GETTING GAS AND UP COMES GAS FROM THE TANK.WHEN A PUMP CLICKS,YOUR TANK IS SUPPOSE TO BE FULL.BUT IN THIS SITUATION,IT DOESN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO BEING FULL.IT HAPPENED TO ME WHEN IT GOT AROUND 2-3 GALLONS INTO THE FILL UP.OTHER OWNERS OF THIS TRUCK(NISSAN TITAN '04-'05) HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM.DEALER HAS AVOIDED FIXING THIS ISSUE.THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN MUST FIX.A COUPLE GALLONS OF GAS POURING OUT OF THIS TRUCK AT EVERY FILL UP IS DANGEROUS FOR ME AND THE PEOPLE AROUND THE GAS STATION.I HAVE 2 KIDS AND I HESITATE EVERYTIME I FILL MY TRUCK UP WITH THEM INSIDE.PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND SEE THAT NISSAN FIX THIS PROBLEM.THE FORUM ON THIS IS FOUND AT "TITANTALK.COM(GAS TANK ISSUES)".

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
MY 125 LB WIFE DOES NOT ACTIVATE THE SEAT SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAG IN MY 05 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME, IT HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY. THE DEALER CHECKED & CONFIRMED THAT THE SYSTEM IS OPERATING NORMALLY AND STATED THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING MORE. AT THIS POINT MY WIFE IS RIDING IN OUR TRUCK WITHOUT AN AIRBAG. WHILE SHE DOES WEAR A SEAT BELT, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COMFORT OF KNOWING THE FULL SAFETY SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. RESEARCH AND OTHER COMPLAINTS POSTED HERE SHOW THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED PROBLEM. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2005 NISSAN TITAN LE 5.6 4/4 KING CAB VIN# [XXX]; I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALER 10/06/05 TO REPLACE A COOLING FAN THAT THEY ORDERED 3 WEEKS AGO AND CHECK MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED OR COMING TO A STOP. YOU HAVE TO PUMP IT UP TO BRING IT BACK UP. THEY INSTALLED THE FAN AND TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES AS SOME OF THE OTHER MODELS DO THE SAME THING. THE BRAKE CYLINDER FLUID WAS FULL. IT SCARES ME TO DRIVE WITH THE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THE FLUID HAS TO BE GOING SOMEWHERE MAYBE BYPASSING THE SEALS AS THIS IS A CLOSED SYSTEM. I HAD TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HAVE THE FAN REPLACED AND THEY SAID THERE WERE VERY FEW REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THESE TRUCKS(3WKS FOR A FAN). I NEED HELP AS I DON'T WANT TO KILL SOMEONE OR MYSELF. NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
NO PRIOR EVENTS LEADING TO FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN NORMALLY ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN BROKE 4 TIMES, FIRST TIME WAS AT 6,000 MILES, THEN EVERY 3,000 MILES THERE AFTER. NISSAN THEN REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE WITH A 2005 IN WHICH THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS NOW BROKE 1 TIME. WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL BREAKS THE VEHICLE IS IMMOBILIZED AND SOMETIMES LEFT IN HARMS WAY (I.E. UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, TOWING DOWNHILL AND THE DIFFERENTIAL BREAKS MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO STOP) NISSAN HAS REPLACED 3 REAR DIFFERENTIALS IN THE 2004 VEHICLE. THEY THEN GAVE A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN TO ME. NISSAN HAS REPAIRED 1 REAR DIFFERENTIAL IN THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT AS I AM NOT SURE WHEN THE NEXT FAILURE WILL HAPPEN. THE INCIDENT DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT ONE.*JB

FRONT BRAKE SHUDDER - LESS THAN 4000 MILES - REVIEWED MANY COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA SITE OF EXACT SAME PROBLEM - WILL CONTACT DEALER AND PLAY THE GAME THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO HAVE TO PLAY - CONSTANT TRIPS TO DEALER FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF ROTOR. WOULD SAVE SERIOUS GRIEF ON ALL PARTIES IF RECALL WAS SIMPLY ISSUED AND SITUATION FIXED BY REPLACING EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK AND HAS TO REPLACE THE BRAKES AT 2,700 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP IS THE ONE THAT CHANGED THE BRAKES. THE DEALER SAID THAT IF THEY HAD TO CHANGE THE BRAKES AGAIN TO BRING THE TRUCK BACK IN. THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS WERE REPLACED, THE BACK ROTORS WERE RESURFACED , AND THE PADS WERE REPLACED. THE TRUCK IS DRIVING FINE NOW. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED NISSAN. *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
I WAS DRIVING ON ROUTE "A" STATE BLACKTOP COMING INTO A SHARP CORNER AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE FRONT WHEELS BEGAN TO SHIMMY VERY HARD. IT CAUSED THE 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TO LOSE CONTACT WITH THE HIGHWAY CAUSING IT TO LEAVE THE ROAD AND OVERTURN. THE TRUCK WAS TOTALED AND I RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. AIR BAG AND SEAT BELT SAVED ME. NISSAN KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED ABOUT A POSSIBLE BRAKE PROBLEM UNTIL IT WRECKED ME. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR RECALLING ALL THEIR TRUCKS WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF I WOULD HAVE DIED IN THE CRASH, NO ONE WOULD KNOW THE CAUSE. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY BACK THE TRUCK FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY FOR THE PROOF OF WARPED ROTORS CAUSING THE ACCIDENT. IT ALSO APPEARED THE REAR BRAKES DID NOT WORK BECAUSE THE ABS SYSTEM WAS CONFUSED? I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE. *NM

I PURCHASED MY BRAND NEW NISSAN TITAN JUNE 16TH 2005 MY HUSBAND AND I DECIDED TO TAKE OUR FAMILY OWN A ROAD TRIP TO TEXAS FOR THE 4TH OF JULY. 2 WEEKS AFTER I RETURNED I HAD ABOUT 5,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND NOTICE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL WAS VIBRATING AS I STOPPED ON MY BRAKES, I CALLED SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM BRING IT IN AND WE WILL FIX IT , SO I ASKED WHAT WAS THE COMMON PROBLEM AND SHE SAID THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS BURN OUT AND THAT LAST MONTH THEY JUST RECEIVED THE NEW COMPONENT FOR THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY PROBLEM HAVE WITH NISSAN CORP. IS THAT I WAS OWN THE ROAD WITH MY 2 CHILDREN AND HUSBAND SOUNDS SCARY TO ME, IF THEY NEW THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WHY NOT DO A NATIONAL RECALL OR EVEN CALL THE CUSTOMERS WHO JUST PURCHASED A NEW TRUCK WITHIN THAT MONTH. BUT NO NISSAN IS TRYING TO COVER THERE BUTTS AND NOT PUT IT OUT TO THE PUBLIC BUT I TELL YOU ONE THING NISSAN CORP. IS LOOKING FOR A BIG FAT LEGAL MATTERS WITH THE CUSTOMERS. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:ROTOR
I PURCHASED A 2005 TITAN 4 DOOR 2 MONTHS AGO. AT APPROX. 3000 MILES IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AT ANY SPEED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO AFFIRMED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE, AND THAT I COULD BRING IT IN FOR A TEMPORARY FIX. THEY EXCLAMED THAT THIS WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THEIR CLAIM, AND AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BY THEIR LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

PURCHASED A NEW 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4-DOOR PICK-UP TRUCK IN FEBRUARY 2005. BOTH THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP KNEW OF AN EXISTING SAFETY PROBLEM REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF BOTH 2004 AND 2005 TITAN PICK-UP TRUCK MODELS, BUT FAILED TO ALERT MYSELF OF THE PROBLEM. I HAD TO THREATEN TO SUE THE DEALERSHIP TO PROVIDE AND INSTALL THE MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED REPLACEMENT PARTS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE INSTALLED LESS THAN 60 DAYS AGO, AND THE PROBLEM HAS RESURFACED. WHEN I SPOKE WITH 2 SEPARATE NISSAN CORPORATION REPRESENTATIVES, THEY PROVIDED ME FALSE INFORMATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY CONSIDERED THE MATTER CLOSED AND IF I WAS NOT SATISFIED THEN I SHOULD CONTACT A LEMON-LAW ATTORNEY! I DEMAND THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER TO REFUND MY MONEY ENTIRELY! THEY FRAUDENTLY SOLD ME A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, 2 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS REGARDING THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT AND THE RADIO HAVE SURFACED AND THE BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS AS WELL.
