FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FOR MY NISSAN TITAN CONCERNING THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE PEDDLE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN YET. I CALLED AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF JUNE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RELEASED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE AND WAS TOLD THAT I COULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER LAUGHED AND SAID "YOU COULD BRING IT BUT IT MAY SIT HERE FOR SIX MONTHS OR MORE". I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE RECALL LETTER IS ALL THE MANUFACTURER IS REQUIRED TO DO. IS THIS TRUE? WHERE ARE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM? IS THERE SOME AGENCY THAT MAKES SURE THAT THE MANUFACTURER FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE RECALLS IN A TIMELY MANNER? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE PULLING MY BOAT TO THE LAKE YESTERDAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY 2004 TITAN 4X4 KING CAB (MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 78,000), THE ABS, SLIP, AND VDC LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. BEFORE I COULD REACH AN EXIT TO PULL OFF, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A MATTER OF LESS THAN 3 MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RE-FIRE. UPON INSPECTION, I NOTICED SMOKE POURING FROM REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL. I GOT ALL OCCUPANTS OUT OF THE TRUCK AND WHEN I RETURNED SECONDS LATER, I SPOTTED A FIRE COMING FROM THE WIRING HARNESS JUST WHERE IT GOES OVER THE FRAME RAIL IN THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL WELL. LUCKILY I HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON THE BOAT AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT BEFORE CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK, MY FAMILY OR PASSERS-BY. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE INSPECTED AND THEY "BELIEVE" A NEW WIRING HARNESS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE "NO IDEA" HOW A FIRE COULD HAVE HAPPENED. A "BELIEF" THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED IS NOT COMFORTING. *TR

HAD INFORMED NISSAN TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE AT 1700 MILES, OF LOUD "CLUNK" NOISE IN REAR AXLE WHEN TRAVELING OVER BUMPS OR POTHOLES AS WELL AS TIGHTNESS AND NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. NISSAN STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE REAR BUT REPLACED A DEFECTIVE RACK AND PINION ASSEMBLY. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT 34000 MILES THE DIFFERENTIAL WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING FROM BOTH REAR AXLE SEALS AND THE PINION SEAL. NISSAN DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE PROBLEM ON 6/11/10, REPLACED BOTH REAR AXLE SHAFT ASSEMBLIES, AND REPLACED THE PINION SEAL. *TR

FAILURE OF REAR DIFFERENTIAL. 2004 TITAN PURCHASED 8/04. IN 8/05 WHILE IN WASHINGTON STATE ON VACATION, NOTICED 3-4 MPG DROP IN GAS MILEAGE. CRAWLED UNDER TRUCK LOOKING FOR GAS LEAK AND FOUND DIFFERENTIAL FLUID HAD SHOT OUT OF FRONT SEAL AND FLUID WAS LOW. ADDED FLUID PER OWNERS MANUAL AND BROUGHT TO A DEALER. DEALER SAID I USED WRONG FLUID AND SHOULD HAVE USED SYNTHETIC. AT THIS POINT NISSAN REALIZED THEY HAD A HEAT PROBLEM AND SWITCHED TO SYNTHETIC AND INSTALLED FINNED DIFFERENTIAL COVERS (WHICH I NOTICED WERE ON THE 2005 MODELS IN THEIR LOT). I TOLD THE DEALER THEY WERE COVERING UP A HEAT PROBLEM ON THE 2004 MODEL AND WANTED AN INSPECTION. THEY REFUSED SINCE THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. INSTALLED MAG-HYTECH COVER MYSELF. PERIODICALLY HAD OIL SHOOT OUT OF VENT ON AXLE TUBE AND ALL OVER TIRE. DEALER SAID THAT WAS NORMAL. 4/17/08 AT 41000 MILES RIGHT AXLE SEAL FAILURE, DEALER FIXED. 10/13/09 AT 52589 MILES LEFT AXLE SEAL FAILURE, CONVINCED NISSAN CORPORATE TO FIX AND THEY DID. FOUND FIX ON-LINE FOR BAD AXLE VENT DESIGN, ADDED VENT HOSE AND FILTER BUT STILL HAD FLUID COMING OUT. 3/8/10 AT 55900 LOTS OF METAL ON DIPSTICK, CHANGED FLUID AND PIECES OF SPIDER GEAR CAME OUT WITH FLUID. 3/16/10 AT 55919 BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION HOPING TO GET NISSAN TO REPAIR DIFFERENTIAL. NISSAN REFUSED SINCE "TOO EXPENSIVE AND THERE WASN'T A RECALL ANYWAY", ONE OF THE DUMBER COMMENTS I'VE EVER HEARD. 3/22/10 AT 55924 HAD 4X4 SHOP REPAIR DIFFERENTIAL. SHOP SHOWED ME NISSAN HAD INSTALLED WRONG BOLTS IN DIFFERENTIAL. SHOULDER ON BOLTS WAS TOO SHORT AND ONLY HIT ONE SIDE OF SPIDER GEAR ASSEMBLY FLANGE, WITH OTHER SIDE RIDING ON THE THREADS. BOLTS EVENTUALLY BACKED OUT CAUSING SPIDER GEARS TO SELF-DESTRUCT. COST ME $2100 TO REPAIR, EXISTING RING AND PINION WERE IN GOOD SHAPE INSPITE OF ISSUES. REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL ASSY WITH DETROIT TRUE TRAC. SHOP USED BOLTS FROM ANOTHER DANA DIFFERENTIAL AND CUT LENGTH TO FIT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE BRAKES STARTED TO PULSATE. THE CONTACT DROVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE DID NOT RECUR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST INDICATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES WERE WORN OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKES AND ONE WEEK LATER THE BRAKES STARTED TO PULSATE WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK IF THE FAILURE PERSIST. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PULSATING. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO TAKE THE COMPLAINT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SENSOR MAY HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000. UPDATED 11/11/10 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT BEGAN TO PULSATE AS IF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGED AND THEN THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 11/18/18*JB

I FILED MY COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AND JUST HEARD BACK FROM THEM TODAY THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2005 TITAN FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
