SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ALL 4 BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS REQUIRED CHANGING ON A 2008 NISSAN TITAN AT 14,315 MI. THIS WAS DETERMINED BY TWO QUALIFIED MECHANICS. QUOTE FROM THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP, "ALL BRAKE ROTORS ARE SEVERELY PITTED..." THERE WAS NO WARNING AND THIS IS UNEXPECTED AT SUCH LOW MILEAGE. IT WAS DETECTED WHEN TIRES WERE BEING ROTATED. NISSAN CLAIMED THAT THIS MAY BE NORMAL WEAR AND WOULD NOT HELP WITH FINANCIAL COMPENSATION. ROTORS ARE AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING (FOR INVESTIGATION PURPOSES) FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND IT HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE DOOR HANDLE CABLES FREEZING UP. IT MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IF THE DOOR IS OPENED, IT WILL NOT CLOSE SECURELY. I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THE TRUCK BUT THE DOOR CAME OPEN AS I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY, I ALWAYS WEAR MY SEAT BELT OR IT COULD HAVE GOTTEN VERY UGLY. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON JAN 4, 2011 AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD REPLACE THE CABLES FOR ABOUT $400 PER DOOR SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. APPARENTLY IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM ON TITANS SINCE 2004 AND HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECTED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE LOSSES THEIR LIFE. THANK YOU. *TR

BOTH SIDES OF THE REAR AXLE HAVE BEGUN LEAKING BADLY AND THERE ARE ONLY 105,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY AND IS USED FOR REGULAR USE, NOT A WORK TRUCK. THE LEAK IS SO BAD THAT THE OIL HAS SATURATED THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL WELL AND THE REAR BRAKE PADS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE THEY TRIED TO SELL ME THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY(AXLES, SEALS, BEARINGS, ETC) CLAIMING THAT MECHANICS HAVEN'T BEEN PRESSING THE BEARINGS CORRECTLY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE, IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF TITAN OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR ENDS LEAKING EVEN AT MUCH EARLIER INTERVALS. BASED ON MY CONVERSATION WITH THE DEALERSHIP IT SOUNDS LIKE NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS AND TRYING TO SELL THE FIX WHEN PEOPLE COME TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

I PURCHASED A USE 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 IN MAY OF 2010. IN DECEMBER 2010 I WENT TO ENGAGE THE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE DUE TO DRIVING UP A ROAD THAT HAD SNOW AND ICE. AFTER COMPLYING WITH THE DIRECTIONS IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL I BEGAN DRIVING UP THE GRADE ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO PULL FROM THE FRONT WHEELS. THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS TRACTION ON THE ROAD. ONE TIME THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETE SLIDE BACK DOWN THE HILL, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DO A COMPLETE 180 DEGREE TURN. DAYS LATER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THE FRONT AXLE HAD BECOME DETACHED. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THIS WAS THE SECOND TITAN THEY HAD SEEN DO THIS AND HAD HEARD THAT TITANS HAD A PROBLEM DETACHING WHEN DRIVEN IN FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MODE ON DRY PAVEMENT AND THE VEHICLES WOULD MAKE SHARP TURNS. LUCKILY, MY INCIDENT DID NOT RESULT IN ANY CRASHES, HOWEVER IT DID COME CLOSE TO STRIKING FIXED OBJECTS ALONG THE ROAD. *TR
