SUSPENSION:FRONT
2008 NISSAN TITAN HAS A LARGE KNOCK IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND OR HILLS WHEN DRIVING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES UNTIL NISSAN FINALLY DECIDED TO POST A TSB. THE TSB STATES TO REPLACE THE FRONT SPRINGS ON 2008-2010 TITANS WITH SPRINGS FROM 2007 TITANS WHICH WILL LOWER THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK BY 1.5 INCHES. MY TRUCK IS NOW AN EYE SORE BY HAVING AN UNBALANCED RAKE WHEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK FROM FRONT TO BACK AND STILL KNOCKS HEAVILY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND OR HILLS. NISSAN ADMITS THE ISSUE IS PRESENT BUT STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY REAR AXEL DIFFERENTIAL ON MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN SE LEAKED GEAR OIL FOR THE SECOND TIME IN 3 YEARS. MY TRUCK HAD 59,900 MILES WHEN IT OCCURRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I CALLED NISSAN MOTOR COMPANY. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I HAD TO REPAIR THE TRUCK AT MY EXPENSE DUE TO NISSANS BAD DESIGNED OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AXEL (SEALS). *TR

POWER TRAIN
FAILED REAR END DIFFERENTIAL AT ONLY 75,000 MILES. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WHEN A LOUD BANG CAME FROM THE REAR END. MADE IT HOME, BUT MORE POPPING AND BANGING NOISES ALONG THE WAY, ESPECIALLY TURNING UNDER ACCELERATION. DRAINED REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID AND REMOVED COVER, METAL CHUNKS AND SHAVINGS IN CASE. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE "BIG TOW" PACKAGE ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED TO TOW ANYTHING. IT HAS BEEN MOSTLY ON THE HIGHWAY AND OFF ROAD VERY INFREQUENTLY AND NEVER HEAVY-DUTY OFF ROAD. IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE FAILED REAR END DID NOT CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOCK THE REAR AXLE AND CAUSE A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE, AND IN MY OPINION IS DUE TO A FAULTY LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL. NISSAN WILL NOT ADMIT THIS, BECAUSE THE ENTIRE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE. NOW THAT THE 2005 MODEL YEAR TRUCKS ARE GETTING A BIT OLDER, THESE FAILURES ARE BECOMING EXTREMELY COMMON AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL ONE FAILS ON THE FREEWAY AND SOMEBODY IS INJURED OR KILLED WHEN THE VEHICLE'S REAR AXLE LOCKS UP DUE TO AN EXPLODED SPIDER GEAR ASSEMBLY.

2004 NISSAN TITAN 55,000 MILES..REAR SEAL LEAKING FLUID, DEALER SAID IT WAS A POORLY MADE AXLE AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. COST $822...LOST TRACTION ON THE FRONT WHEELS YESTERDAY MORNING DURING SNOW STORM. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING. MECHANIC SAID WE WERE LUCKY THE WHEEL DIDN'T COME OFF ON THE DRIVE THERE. LOTS OF TITAN OWNERS SAYING DEFECT ON FRONT AXLE ALSO...TRUCK IS STILL IN THE SHOP AND THEY WANT $1,100 TO REPLACE THIS AXLE AND GROUND UP PINION OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD THIS TRUCK IN THE SHOP TO FIX 3 OTHER SAFETY RECALLS. WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN IS NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

POWER TRAIN
AT AROUND 106,00 MILES THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO DESTROY ABS SENSOR AND PARKING BRAKE ASSEMBLY. 2,000 MILES LATER PASSENGER SIDE REAR SEAL BLEW OUT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL TOTALLY LOCKED UP. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN DEFECT THAT NISSAN SIMPLY WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE. THIS REPAIR ENDED UP COSTING AROUND $4,100 TO REPAIR AT MY EXPENSE, ON TOP OF THE $900 PAID PREVIOUSLY TO REPAIR ORIGINAL SEAL FAILURE. *LN

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD/ CAT HAS FAILED. THERE IS A CRACK IN MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND OVER WARRANTY 15K. I HAVE NOTICE MPG LOSS AND GASES ENTERING MY CABIN WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY WINDOW IS DOWN. I'M A FATHER OF 3 AND WORRIED FOR MY CHILDREN SAFETY. PASSENGER IS CRACKED AND WORRIED THAT THE DRIVERS IS GOING TO GO SOON. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WILL COST ME 600 PER SIDE + 600 FOR LABOR WHICH BRINGS THE TOTAL TO 1800+TAX. I'M APART OF A NISSAN CLUB/FORUM AND THIS IS A PROBLEM NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING, 50+ IN CALIFORNIA. SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO GO AFTERMARKET OR EVEN PASS IT ILLEGALLY THROUGH BLACK MARKET CHANNELS. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND RELEASED A REVISED VERSION WHICH STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS ROBBING THEIR CUSTOMERS AND NEED TO BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE UNDER THE EMISSIONS LAW AND FOR PUTTING OUT A KNOWN FAULTY PART. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I HAVE MANY FRIENDS IN OTHER STATES THAT ARE ON THEIR 2ND SET OR GOING ON THEIR 3RD SET. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED FOR THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE AND THE EARTH [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
2006 NISSAN TITAN 4X4, WHILE DRIVING ON TRIP WITH YOUNG DAUGHTER HEARD LOUD BANG FROM REAR OF TRUCK. OBSERVED ROAD FOR ANY DEBRIS I MAY HAVE HIT, FOUND NOTHING. PERFORMED QUICK INSPECTION ON SIDE OF ROAD & SAW NOTHING, CONTINUED TRIP & NOTICED BAD RIDE FROM SUSPENSION. REINSPECTED AFTER ARRIVING HOME & FOUND THAT ONE OF THE LEAF SPRING SHACKLES HAD SNAPPED IN TWO AND THREW THE LEAF SPRING INTO THE BED OF THE TRUCK CAUSING A HOLE IN THE BED. THE FAILED SHACKLE ALSO CAUSED EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO THE SHOCK ABSORBER CAUSING IT TO FAIL ALSO. REPLACED THE SHACKLES AND SHOCKS BUT STILL HAVE A BAD RATTLE COMING FROM REAR END. AARG!!!! *TR

DRIVERS DOOR IS DIFFICULT TO OPEN WHEN OUTSIDE TEMP IS BELOW 15 DEGREES, AND WHEN I GET THE DOOR OPEN AND CLOSE IT, IT WILL NOT OPEN AGAIN WHEN I CLOSE IT TRAPPING ME INSIDE. I HAVE TO CRAWL OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT TO GET OUT. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OR IF I GOT STUCK ON TRAIN TRACKS ETC. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND EVEN HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON THEIR WEBSITE. THE BULLETIN IS NTB05-118A. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THE REP STATED THAT IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. *TR

OWN A 2010 NISSAN TITAN PURCHASED MAY 2010 FROM PRIORITY NISSAN IN COLONIAL HEIGHTS, VA. THE TRUCK AS BEGUN TO PRODUCE A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT STEERING TRAVELING THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD AND UNDER THE SEATS TO THE CENTER OF THE VEHICLE. THE VIBRATION IS STRONGER AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 25-40 MPH AND WHEN BRAKING VIBRATION INTENSIFIES. TOOK TO THE DEALER ON 2 DEC 2010 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER SOME PARTS TO PLACE SOME METAL SHIMS BETWEEN THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND THE REAR AXLE. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT OF THE VEHICLE AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD PLACE THE SHIMS FIRST AND GO FROM THEIR. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS SINCE MY COMPLAINT TO PRIORITY NISSAN AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN AND THE APPOINTMENT. I AM SOME WHAT RESTRAINT FROM DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AT FAST SPEEDS DO TO THIS VIBRATION WITH THE FEAR OF THE DRIVE SHAFT COMPONENTS FAILING AND SOMETHING BREAKING OFF. I FOUND SOME COMPLAINTS ON MYCARSTATS.COM STATING THAT THE SOURCE OF THE VIBRATION COMES FROM THE PROPELLER SHAFT U JOINT AND THAT IT SHOULD BE INSPECTED WITH THE PROPELLER SHAFT REMOVED AND REPLACED IF ABNORMALITIES ARE NOTICED IN THE U JOINT. SOME ONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND HAVE NISSAN DO A RECALL ON THE 2010 NISSAN TITAN. MY TRUCK IS ONLY 7 MONTHS OLD AND ONLY DOES CITY DRIVING. NO REASON FOR THE TRUCK TO BE HAVING VIBRATION PROBLEMS WITH OUT PUNISHING THE TRUCK ON OFF ROAD DRIVING. *TR

THERE WAS A NOISE FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND AN ODD ODOR. IT ALMOST FELT LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP ONCE IN A WHILE DRIVING. I DROVE IT HOME AS THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEIR TECH DROVE IT OFF THE LOT TO "CHECK IT OUT" AFTER I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WAS GETTING WORSE. THE REAR END BLEW OUT AND SPRAYED FLUID ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE, THE BACK OF THE TAILGATE, EVERYWHERE. THE DEALER JUST SAID IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. PERIOD. THIS TRUCK IS WELL MAINTAINED BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I AM TOLD THAT THE REAR END/DIFFERENTIAL IS SEALED AT THE FACTORY AND IS NOT A PART OF A MAINTENANCE ITEM. IT IS NOT USED FOR TOWING, OFF ROADING OR ANYTHING ELSE LIKE THAT. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES THE TRUCK. I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD IT GONE OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A RATHER COMMON PROBLEM BASED ON THE COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FILED. IT IS ALSO AN EXPENSIVE PROBLEM AT $2300.00 IN MY ESTIMATION. I REQUESTED THAT THEY KEEP THE PART FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. *TR
