POWER TRAIN
THE HUB SEALS ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAVE FAILED.. AND ARE LEAKING FLUID. IN MY ONLINE RESEARCH IT APPEARS TO BE A ISSUE THAT RETURNS DUE TO A AXLE VENTILATION ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED A RESOLUTION OR REPLY AS THE DEALER SAYS THE ENTIRE AXLE NOW REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. TITANTALK.COM HAS SEVERAL REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. MY TRUCK PRESENTLY HAS 70900 MILES ON IT AND WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST OF 2008 WITH 58000. THE DRIVER USE IS UNDER 6K MILES PER YEAR SO THIS APPEARS TO BE GREATER CONCERN. *TR

THE REAR UNIVERSAL JOINT HAS FAILED. I TOOK TO THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION ON OR ABOUT 9/2/10 AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE U-JOINT HAD 3 BIG PIECES OF METAL LAYING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE HOUSING. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HUBLER NISSAN IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONFIRMED THE PREVIOUS FINDINGS. HUBLER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAR AXLE. THE APPROX. COST WOULD BE $2,500-$3,000. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THE REPAIR EXPENSE WAS PARTIALLY COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE WARRANTY AND THE OWNER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DIFFERENCE. RECENTLY, THERE WAS FAILURE WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED, AND THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE EXTENT OF THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000. UPDATED 01/13/11*BF UPDATED 01/24/11. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. I BEGAN HAVING HUMMING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH MY VEHICLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 20MPH APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO. THE HUMMING HAS RECENTLY TURNED INTO A MUCH LOUDER WHINING NOISE, SO I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO NISSAN FOR EVALUATION. THEY CLAIM MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD AND THE ENTIRE REAR END NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR REAR DIFFERENTIALS ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I PERFORMED A REAR END FLUID CHANGE AND FOUND SEVERAL PIECES OF METAL IN THE OIL. THE PIECES LOOKED LIKE TEETH FROM GEARS. NISSAN CLAIMS THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE. DUE TO THE $3000+ PRICE TAG FOR REPLACING THE ENTIRE REAR END, NISSAN RECOMMENDED I GET A NEW TRUCK. I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE AWARE OF A PROBLEM, BUT DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT THUS FAR. I BELIEVE A REAR END FAILURE COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND OR CAUSE A LOSS OF VEHICULAR CONTROL. *TR

JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON IN THE DASH AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR. YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE BRAKES AND IT MAKES A GRINDING NOISE. IF YOU TURN OFF THE VEHICLE IT GOES AWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO. IM TAKING IT TO A NISSAN DEALER NEXT WEEK AND THEY SAY ITS GOING TO COST ME 100 DOLLARS TO REPROGRAM THE COMPUTER. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IF ITS THAT BIG OF A PROBLEM SHOULDN'T THERE BE A RECALL ON THIS AND NISSAN HAVE TO PAY FOR IT? *TR

I HAVE A 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE CREW CAB 4WD PICKUP TRUCK AND JUST EXPERIENCED A DANGEROUS FAILURE OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. AFTER SOME INITIAL THUMPING SOUNDS EMANATING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DURING TURNS, I WAS TURNING INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENTIRE REAR END LOCKED UP MOMENTARILY. I WAS ABLE TO LIMP TO AN AUTO REPAIR FACILITY ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE GEARS IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAD FAILED (TEETH BROKEN OFF). VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AT A COST OF OVER $3,000. I WILL SAVE THE FAILED PART. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON AND EXPENSIVE OCCURRENCE. GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE (REAR WHEEL LOCKING), I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FRACTURED ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE DEALER AGREED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE ACCORDING TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V459000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE THE RECALL COVERED THE DRIVER SIDE HARNESS BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH WAS SLOWLY DETERIORATING. THE DEALER WOULD NOT AGREE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE HARNESS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000.

2005 NISSAN TITAN DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON JUST AFTER STARTING OUT IN THE MORNING LEAVING THE DRIVEWAY. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED 30,000 - 40,000 MILES AGO BY A DIFFERENT DEALER SERVICE FACILITY WHEN LEAKY SEALS WERE SERVICED BUT NOT FOR A DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM. I AM ASSUMING THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL RING AND PINION GEARS, GASKETS AND LUB WILL BE REPLACED. *TR

06 NISSAN TITAN 4X4 REAR END FAILURE. THERE WAS A CLICKING FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR ON MY WAY HOME FROM A VACATION, A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD I STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE THERE WAS A POP AND I LOST ALL POWER TO THE REAR END. MY AXLE SOMEHOW SNAPPED ALMOST DISLODGING IT FROM THE VEHICLE AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME I NEED TO PAY FOR AN ENTIRE NEW REAR END. THIS TRUCK WAS NEVER ABUSED AND SAW MILD OFFROAD USAGE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I COULD HAVE LOST MY REAR WHEEL WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEEDS. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INCIDENT OF NISSAN TITAN OWNERS THAT I HAVE HEARD. I BELIEVE IT IS BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

EQUIPMENT
TAIL PIPE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE 2 WEEKS AFTER NISSAN PERFORMED THEIR 27 POINT INSPECTION, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY INCLUDED CHECKING THE MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS. A SECOND NISSAN DEALERSHIP (OUT OF TOWN) INFORMED US THAT THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND WAS ACTUALLY TALKING TO ANOTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNER THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN. THE OUT OF TOWN DEALERSHIP MECHANIC EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE CLAMPS THEY USE TO HOLD THE TAIL PIPE ON JUST BEHIND THE MUFFLER, RUST OFF?? SO WHY DO THEY USE THEM??? UPON RETURNING HOME WE CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED THE 27 POINT INSPECTION (????) HE SKIRTED THE ISSUE THAT THE BOX FOR THE "MUFFLER, EXHAUST PIPES AND MOUNTINGS" INSPECTION WAS CHECKED OFF AS "CHECKED AND OKAY" AND INFORMED US THAT IT WAS A COSTLY FIX. NOTHING WAS DONE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND NO APOLOGIES WERE MADE FOR THE OBVIOUS OVERLOOK OF A RUSTY CLAMP THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HAD IT FALLEN COMPLETELY OFF, ESPECIALLY TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND, HAD WE NOT HEARD THE CLANGING OF THE PIPE BANGING AGAINST THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I BELIEVE THAT THE NISSAN TITANS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THEIR BRAKES. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005 WITH 14 MILES SHOWING ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED A LOT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I NEVER LEAVE MY FOOT ON OR RIDE THE BRAKE PEDAL NOR DO I USE THE BRAKES EXCESSIVELY, MOST OF THE MILES ON THE VEHICLE ARE HIGHWAY MILES BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS USED MOSTLY FOR VACATION PURPOSES. I DO HOWEVER TOW A SMALL 6 BY 12 FOOT BOX TRAILER WITH 4 BICYCLES IN IT, WHICH MAKES FOR A LIGHT LOAD. IT HAS CONTINUED TO PROGRESS AND BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE VEHICLE AGES. AT AROUND 13,000 MILES THE BRAKES SOMETIMES GRAB OR WOULD NOT STOP WITH OUT APPLYING EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL MUCH MORE THAN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW, THIS WOULD BRING THE TRUCK TO A SHAKING, ROUGH OR SOMETIMES TIRE SQUEALING STOP. AT 13,300 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY COULD TRY MACHINING THE ROTORS FOR AROUND $440 OR REPLACE THE ROTORS WHICH WOULD COST QUITE A BIT MORE, HOWEVER THE REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH 14,991 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I FEEL IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE OUT OF ABOUT 10 NEW VEHICLES THAT I PURCHASED WHICH HAS BRAKE PROBLEMS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH HE APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PULSATE VERY VIOLENTLY PRIOR TO DEPRESSING TO THE FLOOR. A BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD SO THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. UPON RESTARTING IT, THE BRAKE PEDAL OPERATED AS NORMAL AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM RESETS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 64,700. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
