ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN TITAN IN APRIL 2010 WITH 82K ON THE ENGINE. IN MAY 2010, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD 82,528 MILES ON IT. THE DEALER DISCOVERED THAT BOTH EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WERE LEAKING AND QUOTED MY $1800.00 FOR THE REPAIR. I NOW SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO THE CAB. THE FUMES CAUSE NAUSEA AND HEADACHES. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS TOPIC ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON DEFECT AMONG 2004 THRU 2007 NISSAN TITANS. THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I CONTINUALLY SEE PEOPLE REPORTING THIS ISSUE ON INTERNET FORUMS. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE PART. THE LEAK IS ALSO HAZARDOUS TO THE ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE REPORTED THIS ISSUE TO THE EPA AS WELL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS (BOTH SIDES) ON 2006 NISSAN TITAN. NORMAL DRIVING. APPARENTLY, THIS COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER AND FUMES ESCAPING FROM EXHAUST COULD ENTER THE CABIN AND CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND OTHER EFFECTS. DEALER OFFERS 80K WARRANTY. TRUCK AS 75K. DEALER WILL REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL
THERE IS AN ONGOING FAILURE OF REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS IN OUR 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THIS RESULTS IN THE SLIP AND BRAKE LIGHT BURNING CONTINUOUSLY AS WELL AS THE REAR AXLE LEAKING OIL. WE HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED TWICE UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. THEY WERE CHANGED AT 34,712 AND 58,205 MILES RESPECTIVELY. THE LIGHTS ARE ON AND THEY ARE LEAKING AGAIN AT 75,209 MILES. THERE IS A NISSAN TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM WITH 2004-2007 TITANS. WE CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY WILL NOT COVER A PROBLEM OUT OF WARRANTY THOUGH IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. IT APPEARS TO US THEY PUT CHEAP REPAIRS IN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED THEY WANT THEIR CUSTOMERS TO HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THEIR DESIGN FLAW CORRECTLY. WE HAVE CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WERE GIVEN A CASE NUMBER AND THEY WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATE AND LET US KNOW IF THEY COULD HELP. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS WE WERE TOLD NISSAN WOULD NOT HELP US RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE LEAKING OIL PRESENTS A DANGER WHEN IT GETS ON THE BRAKES AND MAKES IT UNSAFE AS WELL AS THEY POSSIBILITY OF PARTS FAILURE IN THE REAR END. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY TITAN FORUMS ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A VERY BIG PROBLEM. WE ARE ALSO SENDING THIS INFORMATION TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2007 NISSAN TITAN NEEDED ALL 4 ROTORS AND BRAKES REPLACED AT 20K MILES. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO AGE. ON OCCASION, WOULD FEEL SLIGHT WOBBLE DURING BRAKING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BUT NOTHING TOO BAD. THEN ONE DAY LAST WEEK THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE STARTED PRODUCING A HORRIBLE METAL ON METAL SOUND, EVEN WHEN NOT BRAKING. IN MY OPINION THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT A TRUCK WITH 20K LIGHT USE MILES SHOULD NEED TO HAVE ALL FOUR ROTORS REPLACED. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FLANGE CONNECTING TAILPIPE TO MUFFLER RUSTED THROUGH, ALLOWING THE TAILPIPE TO BREAK FREE AND DANGLE FROM UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THAT SIMILAR FAILURES HAVE RESULTED IN HEAT DAMAGE FROM EXHAUST TO THE WIRING HARNESS THAT RUNS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE MUFFLER. THIS DAMAGE TO THE WIRING HAS RESULTED IN LOSS OF ABS BRAKING AND TRACTION CONTROL. WHILE IT MAY BE EXPECTED THAT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WILL RUST, THE PLACEMENT OF THE WIRING HARNESS IN SUCH CLOSE PROXIMITY AND THE RISK OF SERIOUS DAMAGE TO IT WHEN/IF THE EXHAUST FAILS IS POOR DESIGN THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IPDM COMPONENT FAILED. CAUSED 2006 NISSAN TITAN TO DIE 6 TIMES IN A 2 MILE JOURNEY. LOST POWER STEERING, COULD NOT SAFELY COMPLETE A TURN, HAD TO DRIVE INTO A WOODED ROADSIDE TO AVOID HITTING AN ON-COMING CAR. ONCE AT A REPAIR STATION, THEY COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO START AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. COULD HAVE COST ME MORE... IF THE ENGINE WERE OVER CRANKED IT COULD DAMAGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP. SCARY EXPERIENCE TO HAVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, TIRES
I NOTICE OIL ON THE REAR TIRES AND RUNNING INTO THE REAR ROTOR WHICH COULD LEAD TO BREAKING FAILURE. MY MECHANIC SAID THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND PINION SEAL WERE BAD SO I HAD THEM REPLACE RIGHT AFTER I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WITH ONLY 30,000 AND JUST NOW I GOT NEW TIRES AND THAT'S WHEN I FIND OUT IT'S BEEN LEAKING ALL THIS TIME NOW WITH 104,000 MILES. LOOK ON THE INTERNET AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 04 NISSAN TITAN. NO RECALL... *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I FELT A SLIGHT GIVE IN THE GAS. THE GAS PEDAL DEPRESSED DOWN TO THE FLOOR OF MY TRUCK AND I LOST POWER. I THEN LOST ALL POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES. WHILE TRYING TO SAFELY MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE EMERGENCY 101SOUTH FREEWAY SHOULDER. I CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN. COMPLETELY RIPPING OFF THE FRONT BUMPER AND WHEEL WELL COVER. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I HAD A FAULTY FUEL SENSOR. *TR

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
SHORTLY AFTER A RAINSTORM THIS VEHICLE (NISSAN TITAN 2006) WAS BEING DRIVEN LATE AT NIGHT ON AN UNPAVED COUNTRY ROAD IN THE VICINITY OF WEBSTER PARISH, LA. AS THE ROAD WAS WET AND THE VISIBILITY WAS VERY LIMITED IT WAS BEING DRIVEN NO FASTER THAN ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THEY RAN INTO A RUT IN THE ROAD WITH THE LEFT FRONT TIRE AND THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. WHEN THE VEHICLE RAN INTO THE RUT IN THE ROAD IT TILTED VERY SLIGHTLY AND THEN RIGHTED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PEOPLE RIDING IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONTACTED NISSAN WHO SAID THAT THE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED PROPERLY AND THEY WOULD NOT PAY ANY PART OF REPLACING THEM OR THE SEAT BELTS. THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ALSO SAID THAT THE VEHICLES' COMPUTER SENT OUT AN 'ERROR CODE' THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ROLLED OVER. ALSO, WHEN WE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH ANOTHER NISSAN TRAINED AND CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN, WE WERE TOLD THAT 7 OUT OF 10 TITANS HAVE ISSUES WITH THEIR COMPUTERS AND THAT THE SENSOR UNDER THE VEHICLE IS PRONE TO COME LOOSE. IT DOESN'T SEEM LOGICAL THAT A MINOR INCIDENT LIKE THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE SEAT BELTS UNLESS THE SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE WAS DEFECTIVE. IT COST MORE THAN $5,000 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS AND THE SEAT BELTS AND NISSAN WOULD NOT PAY ANY OF THIS AMOUNT. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I THOUGHT I MAY HAVE HIT, OR RUN OVER SOMETHING, BUT SAW NOTHING IN OR ALONG THE ROAD. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING AT FIRST, AND THEN MY WIFE NOTICED A RAISED AREA OF THE TRUCK BED ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEAR THE TAILGATE. WE LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THAT THE SPRING SHACKLE WAS BROKEN, AND THE END OF THE SPRING WAS LODGED UP AGAINST THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BED. I TOW A 6500LB. CAMPER WITH THIS TRUCK, BUT WAS NOT IN TOW AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. *TR

POWER TRAIN, PARKING BRAKE
I HAD A 2005 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. THE REAL AXLE SEAL BROKE AND THE OIL CAME INTO THE REAR BRAKE WHEN I WAS ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY FROM FL BACK TO VA. I HAD TO DRIVE SO SLOW TO MAKE IT BACK HOME AND HAD IT REPLACE FOR $500. FEW WEEKS LATER NOW I HAVE A FRONT DRIVE AXLE SEAL BROKE AND OIL IS LEAKING. I AM BRINGING TO DEALER AND REPLACE TODAY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
2005 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 - REQUIRES AN ENTIRE REAR END REPLACEMENT. NO KNOWN EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE; REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS MAKING MAJOR BANGING AND GRINDING NOISES. MECHANIC FOUND IT TO BE FULL OF METAL CHUNKS AND SHARDS DUE TO A GEAR FAILURE. THIS THEN LED TO A CHAIN REACTION DAMAGING THE MAJORITY OF THE REAR AXLE COMPONENTS. TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET, BUT NISSAN TELLS ME THAT IT WILL REQUIRE A WHOLE NEW REAR END COSTING ALMOST $4000. I CAN ASK THAT THE SERVICE DEPT. TO HOLD ON TO THE OLD PARTS ONCE THE REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED. *TR

BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. HAD A COMPLETE REAR END REPLACEMENT AT 58,000 MILES. CURRENTLY HAVE 100,000 MILES AND BOTH REAR SEALS ARE LEAKING AGAIN. I TOWED A 2990 LBS TRAILER FROM MICHIGAN TO WEST VIRGINIA, THE MORNING AFTER GETTING HOME I NOTICED THE LEAKS AND POPPING IN REAR END WHEN PULLING OUT. FIRST TIME TOWING WITH THIS TRUCK. MILEAGE IS ALL HIGHWAY. COMMUTED 120 MILES PER DAY TO WORK. I HAVE BEEN ON FORUMS AND SEEN COUNTLESS OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. NISSAN IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT EVEN MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE. THEY ARE JUST REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR ENDS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR IT. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN FIX IT ONE MORE TIME AND THEN SUE UNDER LEMON LAW WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
CONTINUING PROBLEMS WITH 2005 NISSAN TITAN. CURRENT ISSUE IS FAILING REAR AXLE. I HAVE COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I.E. WHINNING, CLUNK BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL AS VEHICLE AGES. INDICATED TO LOCAL DEALER PROBLEMS REPORTED WITH FAILING AXLES, AND AXLE SEALS AND AXLE BREATHER PROBLEMS. THEY INDICATED THEY WERE UNAWARE OF VERY MANY SUCH PROBLEMS. NOISE AND CLUNK BECAME WORSE AND I BEGAN TO INVESTIGATE VIA WEB AND THROUGH MY ORGANIZATION MEMBERSHIP (CLUB TITAN) AND DISCOVERED A LARGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. BACK TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO FINALLY ADMITTED KNOWN ISSUES WITH AXLES. PAST WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, THEY RECOMMENDED CONTACTING NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. CALLED AND DESCRIBED ISSUES, THEY ASSIGNED FILE # AND ASKED ME TO OBTAIN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS (WHICH I HAD TO AGAIN PAY FOR) AND INFORMATION ABOUT ANY PREVIOUS NISSAN VEHICLES OWNED. BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN THE REQUESTED INFORMATION, NISSAN CALLED BACK AND DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE CITING AGE/MILEAGE OF VEHICLE. I INDICATED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM, NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT HAS OCCURRED AFTER THE WARRANTY. THEY CALLED BACK SEVERAL DAYS LATER AND INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO RECORD ANYWHERE OF ANY COMPLAINTS ON MY PART REGARDING THE AXLE PROBLEM. SEEMS STRANGE THAT OTHER HISTORY EXISTS (BRAKE PROBLEMS, RECALLS, ETC.) ON MY VEHICLE, BUT ODDLY "NOTHING" ABOUT AXLE PROBLEMS. WE ARE MOVING SOON, AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE OUT OF POCKET REPAIRS, BUT I CANNOT PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR
