I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 WITH THE OFF ROAD PACKAGE. ON THE 3RD OF OCTOBER 2010 I NOTICED WHEN I TOOK A LEFT TURN AND ACCELERATED THROUGH THE TURN I HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HOPPED. ON THE 4TH I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD BROKEN TEETH AND IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 44,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. MY FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED IN JUNE 2010. FIRST TIME FAILURE HAS OCCURRED. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY EVALUATED THE PROBLEM AND SENT A USED PART TO THE REPAIR FACILITY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND RETURNED TO ME. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK HAS STALLED FOLLOWED BY A LOUD THUD FROM THE TRANSMISSION - ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND ONLY ONE GEAR IS AVAILABLE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. ALSO HAVE HAD SOME PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE SINCE THE FIRST 2 OCCURRENCES ON THE HIGHWAY. REPLACING THE IPDM AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
2005 NISSAN TITAN LE HAD AN EXHAUST TAILPIPE SEPARATION AT A WELD. THE HANGER THAN HOLDS THE TAILPIPE IS DESIGNED WRONG. THE WEIGHT OF THE PIPE CAUSES THE EXHAUST GASES UP INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR FENDER MELTING WIRES, PLASTIC, AND POTENTIALLY ANYTHING IN THE CARGO BOX AREA (BED LINER MELTED). THE TAILPIPE WAS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I HAVE FOUND MANY INTERNET FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING TO OTHER TITAN OWNERS. I AM CONFIDENT IF I WOULD NOT HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM EARLIER AND HAD COMBUSTIBLES IN THE CARGO AREA, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL DID NOT WORK AND THAT IS WHAT MADE ME LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN SE 4X4 HAS A KNOWN REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WHICH LEADS TO FAILURE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS LEAKING ONTO BRAKES/ROTOR. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES. NISSAN DEALER SAYS PAST WARRANTY BUT ADMIT KNOWN PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT NISSAN DIRECTLY. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID HAS METAL IN IT. UNSAFE CONDITIONS ON ALL EARLY MODELS OF THIS TRUCK AND NISSAN IS AVOIDING THE ISSUE THEY NEED TO HAVE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STOP DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BEING TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THE CONTACT STATED THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD DESIGN A BRAKE OVERRIDE SYSTEM TO PREVENT A CRASH IF THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL ARE ENGAGED AT THE SAME TIME. THE CONTACT STATED A CRASH COULD OCCUR IF THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

I TOOK MY TITAN IN TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ AND BEEN TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON TO THE TITANS AND CAN RUIN YOUR BRAKES AS WELL. SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED HAVING TO REPLACE THEM 2 OR 3 TIMES. NISSAN NOW RECOMMENDS CHANGING OUT THE ENTIRE AXLE AT YOUR EXPENSE UNLESS IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS MINE HAVE PROBABLY BEEN LEAKING SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY, BUT IS NOW TOO LATE BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND YOU CAN'T TELL THAT THEY ARE LEAKING UNTIL IT HAS BEEN LEAKING LONG ENOUGH TO GET GEAR OIL TO A VISIBLE SPOT. I HAVEN'T HAD IT FIXED YET AS I AM WEIGHING OUT THE BEST OPTION FOR ME AS FAR AS REPLACING THE SEALS OR THE WHOLE AXLE ASSEMBLY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE POSSIBLE RAMIFICATIONS TO HE BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

RIGHT REAR BRAKE FULL OF OIL FROM DEFECTIVE AXEL SEAL. OIL HAS LEAKED OUT OF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE REAR AXLE AND ON TO THE DISK BRAKES CAUSING THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL TO LOCK UP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. MY FAMILY WAS FORCED TO STOP DRIVING THE TRUCK AS IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND WOULD COST $1200 TO REPAIR. *TR

PULLING OUT OF MY APARTMENT'S PARKING LOT WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN BY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AS IF IT HAD NO PRESSURE. AS THE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR A LOUD GRINDING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF, STARTED IT BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WORKED OK. WENT DOWN THE STREET A LITTLE MORE AND BAM HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME IN TRAFFIC. IF AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER HAS THIS ISSUE THIS CAN AND WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OR PEOPLE. *TR

SEPT 27 2010 TRAVELING HOME FROM W.V FROM CAMPING. WE WAS ON I - 77 S BOUND AT MILE MAKER 10 IN FANCY GAP. WE SMELLED SOMETHING FUNNY. I LOOKED AT MY RIGHT MIRROR AND SAW WHITE GRAY SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK. I PULLED OVER AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I HAD NONE, DUE FROM THE HEAT OF THE FIRE, I GOT OUT AND SAW MY DRIVERS SIDE UNDER THE FENDER ON FIRE. I HAD TRANSMISSION FLUID EVERYWHERE. TRANSMISSION FLUID HAD SPRAYED ON THE MANIFOLD AND CAUGHT FIRE, THEN THE GAS LINE RUPTURED. I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID AND GAS FIRE. THANK GOD I HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AS WELL AS ANOTHER MAN STOP TO HELP PUT IT OUT, IT TOOK TWO FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT THE FIRE OUT, ONE WASN'T ENOUGH.WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE REASON WHY MY TRUCK DIDN'T BLOW UP WAS BECAUSE I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. WELL I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD A RUPTURE IN MY TRANSMISSION LINE AND THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE, FAULTY LINE. I FIND OUT LATER THAT THEY HAD A TECHNICAL BULLETIN OUT ON THE 2004-2005 ARMADA AND TITAN DATED AUG 1 2005.I HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR A TRANSMISSION FLUSH 45 DAYS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED AND NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE BULLETIN.NO ONE ASKED ME IF I WOULD LIKE TO REPLACE MY LINES AND CLAMPS. I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS BULLETIN UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT WHEN I DID RESEARCH. IF THEY HAD TOLD ME ABOUT THIS, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND I AM TRYING TO WORK WITH THEM. I HOPE THEY DO THE RIGHT THING ABOUT FIXING MY TRUCK AND PAYING MY TOW BILLS. THE WEIRD THING IS I TRIED TO GET THE VA STATE TROOP TO DO A REPORT AND HE SAID THEY DON'T DO THAT ANYMORE. *TR

NISSAN TITAN STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING RUNNING ERRANDS WHEN SUDDENLY MY TRUCK STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER LANE TO LET TRAFFIC THROUGH AND TO AVOID GETTING HIT. I WAS ABLE TO START THE ENGINE BACK AND HEADED HOME. I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT NISSAN TITAN IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE IPDM ECU RELAY. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR WORSE KILLED. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON FLAT SAND. IT WAS ENGAGED IN 4WD. SIMPLY DRIVING OFF THE BEACH, THE FRONT LEFT AXLE DISCONNECTED FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL AND LEAKED ALL THE FLUID . I DID NOT NOTICE THIS UNTIL I WAS ON THE STREET. THE DEALER SAID THAT NISSAN CREATED AN UPGRADE FOR IT BUT IT WAS NOT WARRANTY. LUCKILY I DID NOT DRIVE WITH IT LIKE THIS HOME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY VEHICLES AND NOT ABUSE THEM. IN NO WAY WAS THIS A ACTION THAT TESTED THE LIMITS OF MY VEHICLES DESIGN. THE AXLE SIMPLY POPPED OUT. *TR

THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT HE MUST HAVE DRIVEN OVER SOMETHING BECAUSE THE FUEL TANK WAS PUSHED UP UNDER THE VEHICLE. AFTER SOME INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATIONS, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE FUEL INJECTION WAS MOLDED WHICH CAUSED THIN SPOTS ON THE FUEL TANK. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT AGREE WITH THE ASSESSMENTS OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 46500.
