SUSPENSION, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
I OWN A 2007 NISSAN TITAN. WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT IS SLIPPING. IT DOESN'T FEEL STABLE EVEN WHEN I AM GOING STRAIGHT. I'M SURE ITS NOT THE ALIGNMENT BUT HAS TO DO WITH THE SUSPENSION. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING CONTROLS BEFORE BECAUSE LAST SPRING DURING THE RAINING SEASON MY VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF CONTROL WHEN I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT WITH THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE ON GOING ABOUT 40 MPH ON THE 15 FREEWAY. I FELT DURING THAT TIME IT WAS THE RAIN THAT CAUSED ME TO SLIP BUT AFTER THAT INCIDENT IT HAS GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE. I HAVE ASK NISSAN TO TAKE A LOOK BUT THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $130 JUST FOR AN INSPECTION. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS NOR ANY REPAIR WAS DONE TO THE VEHICLE SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE AND THAT IT ENDANGERS THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY AND ALSO THE PUBLIC. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL ON MY 2008 NISSAN TITAN BEGAN LEAKING WITH OUT ME KNOWING IT WAS HAPPENING. THE GREASE WAS THROWN ONTO THE LEFT REAR TIRE OVER AN UNDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME. THE GREASE CAUSED THE RUBBER IN THE TIRE TO SOFTEN AND CAUSED THE TIRE TO BLOW OUT WHILE I WAS TRAVELING @ 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. WHEN THE BLOW OUT OCCURRED PIECES OF THE TIRE BEAT THE FENDER OF THE TRUCK CAUSING $1500 IN BODY DAMAGE. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE AXLE SEAL REPLACED AT A COST $400. FROM WHAT I NOW UNDERSTAND REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE IS VERY COMMON ON THE TITAN TRUCKS YET THERE HAVE BEEN NO RE-CALLS AND/OR NO ACTION BY THE NHTSA TO DEMAND THIS PROBLEM BE CORRECTED. WITH OUT THIS ISSUE BEING PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE WHAT HAPPENED TO ME COULD EASILY HAPPEN TO OTHERS AND HAVE A MORE NEGATIVE OUTCOME THAN I DID. OF COURSE NISSAN REFUSED TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THE DAMAGE EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS IS AND HAS BEEN AN ON GOING DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED ON 2005 NISSAN TITAN, 59,000 MILEAGE. AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE, LEAKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID COVERED EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS MAKING THEM INEFFECTIVE AND UNSAFE. NISSAN REPAIR ADVISED REPAIR WAS FULLY MY RESPONSIBILITY. I HAD REAR SEAL AND BEARING REPLACED BY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. *TR

THE EVENTS LEADING UP TO MY FRONT END AXLE FAILURE WAS DUE TO SLIGHT USE OF THE 4WD IN MILD SNOW CONDITIONS THE FIRST TIME. I HAD IT REPAIRED BY A FACTORY NISSAN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OCCUR LESS THAN 30,000 MILES LATER. NISSAN IS SAYING ITS NOT THEIR FAULT BUT I WAS NOT ABUSING THE 4WD SIMPLY JUST USING IT. BASICALLY THE FRONT LEFT AXLE BREAKS A CLIP AND THE AXLE SHAFT GOING INTO THE DIFFERENTIAL SLIDES DOWN. OVER TIME UNNOTICED I'M SURE THIS COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE FRONT END COMPONENTS UNTIL A CATASTROPHIC STEERING/WHEEL FAILURE. I WILL BE TRYING TO CONTACT NISSAN TO GET THEIR STORY OF WHY THIS KEEPS OCCURRING. *TR

2005 NISSAN TITAN, REAR AXLE SEALS ARE LEAKING, COULD SPRAY ONTO BRAKES AND BECOME A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THOUSANDS OF NISSAN TITANS, IF YOU DO AN INTERNET SEARCH ON GOOGLE FOR NISSAN TITAN AXLE SEAL LEAK, YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF THESE BAD AXLE SEALS CAUSE FLUID TO CONTACT BRAKE ROTOR, IT COULD CAUSE BRAKING ISSUES OR ACCIDENTS. NISSAN HAS A TSB# NTB10-032 THAT DISCUSSES THIS PROBLEM, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

EQUIPMENT, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, INTERIOR LIGHTING
ON THE 2008 NISSAN TITAN THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THE HEADLAMPS AND TURN SIGNAL ARE ON THE SAME SWITCH. WHEN SIGNALING A TURN THE HEADLIGHT POSITION CHANGES. WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AS YOU WILL LOSE ALL EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR LIGHTS. IT IS CONFUSING TO THE OPERATOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE OPERATOR MUST REACT RAPIDLY TO LOCATE THE SWITCH AND REGAIN SOME IDEA OF THE LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION OPERATORS OF ONCOMING VEHICLES MAY BE CONFUSED BY THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHING ON/OFF. THE DEFECT HAS OTHER ACCIDENT POSSIBILITIES AS THE SWITCH MAY HAVE GONE TO THE OFF POSITION DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS AND THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH WOULD NOT OPERATE AS EXPECTED LEAVING A PERSON TRAVELING PAST THE TWILIGHT HOURS WITH OUT ROAD LIGHTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR LIGHT FLASHES CONTINUALLY THEN STAYS ON. IT THEN GOES OUT AFTER A WHILE. THEN IT FLASHES FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS AND STAYS ON. THE CYCLE IS REPEATED THROUGH OUT ANY LONG DISTANCE TRIP WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED LIMIT IN ANY SEASON, ANY TIME OF DAY, MONTH OR YEAR. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT USUALLY CLEARS CODES IT FINDS AND TELLS ME NOT TO WORRY, IT WILL BE FINE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TPMS. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THIS TWICE ALREADY. *TR
