FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE SHOWS INCORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE NISSAN PEOPLE'S FIX IS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK OVER HALF FULL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO, BUT WHEN WE TOOK OUR TRUCK IN, WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO RECEIVE A APPOINTMENT FROM NISSAN BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING. OUR LETTER STATES "THE VEHICLE COULD STALL, WHICH COULD CREATE AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH." WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

I RECENTLY HAD MY VALVE BODY REPLACED IN MY TRANS, I WAS DRIVING TO SAN DIEGO ON THE 5 SOUTHBOUND AND WHEN I WAS MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY FROM AN ON RAMP AND AS I APPLIED THE GAS PEDAL THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I LOOKED UNDER AT THE DRIVE SHAFT, WHILE IN GEAR THE TRUCK'S DRIVE SHAFT WAS SPINNING AND MAKING A SCREECHING NOISE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
1. TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE RUNNING OR IN IDLE POSITION. THIS OCCURRED STARTING AROUND MARCH 1ST OF 2010 AND INCREASED IN OCCURRENCE UP UNTIL IT WAS TOWED TO NORTHERN AUTO OF BERKELEY MICHIGAN THE MORNING OF MAY 28TH. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN TO NORTHERN AUTO TWICE BETWEEN MARCH 1ST AND MAY 28TH, BUT COULD NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED BY THEIR MECHANICS. WHEN IT WAS TOWED IN THE MORNING OF MAY 28TH TO NORTHERN AUTO, THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND RECOMMENDED IT BE TAKEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM NORTHERN AUTO OF BERKELEY MICHIGAN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF TROY MICHIGAN ON THE AFTERNOON OF MAY 28TH OF 2010. 2. THE STALLS WOULD HAPPEN SPORADICALLY WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BELOW 40 MPH OR IDLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ALL POWER, HENCE RENDERING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES USELESS. THIS DID NOT CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS BUT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO DO SO, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOSES SIGNIFICANT STOPPING AND STEERING POWER WHILE STILL MOVING. AT ONE POINT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. 3. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP OF TROY MICHIGAN REPORTED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY ECM RELAY ON THE INTERNAL POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM). THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED AND IS REPLACING THE ENTIRE IPDM. *TR

REAR AXLE ON MY NISSAN TITAN IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER MY BRAKES FOR THE 3RD TIME. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THE NISSAN SETUP IS NOT DOING A GOOD JOB (BAD SEALS OR BAD VENTING CAUSING PRESSURE TO DESTROY THE SEALS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE OIL SEEPS ONTO THE BRAKES ONCE THE SEALS HAVE LET GO. *TR

THE AXLE SEALS ON THE NISSAN TITAN BEGAN TO LEAK AND MANY OTHER NISSAN TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. MINE BEGAN TO LEAK AT 36K MILES BUT I HAVE SEEN OTHERS LEAK AS EARLY AS 18K MILES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY AND FIXED. THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUID THAT LEAKS OUT, LEAKS ONTO THE BRAKES AND CAN CAUSE THEM TO FAIL. I NOTICED MY AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AFTER MY BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAK, GRIND, AND JOLT THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH WHILE BRAKING. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR IN NEWER MODELS. I LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED PROPERLY. RIGHT NOW I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SEAL THROUGH MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL PRONE TO HAPPEN. *TR

REAR DIFF WENT OUT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND IT WENT OUT AT 87K MILES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT NISSAN WILL NOT STEP UP AND PAY FOR THE ITEM THAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. LOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS. I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. *TR

NO EVENTS HAVE LED TO THE FAILURE OF THE REAR END OF MY 2005 TITAN 4X4. DEALER HAS IDENTIFIED LEAKING FLUID FROM THE REAR AXEL/SEALS. REAREND (AXEL) FAILURE IS IMMANENT AND WILL BE SUBSTANTIAL. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY TITAN OWNERS AND PRESENTS A DRIVING DANGER ON THE ROAD. I CAN'T AFFORD THE $3000 PLUS TO REPLACE THE REAR AXEL. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES. THIS FAILURE IS DUE TO DEFECTIVE INTERNAL PARTS, BEARINGS, ETC. IN THE REAR AXEL OF THESE TITANS TRUCKS. *TR

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN FAILED TODAY WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND WAS NEARLY SIDESWIPED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I AM AWARE OF AT LEAST 75 OTHER CASES OF THIS SAME FAILURE. MY DEALER WANTS $3300 TO FIX IT AND I ONLY HAVE 49,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I HAD DRIVEN FROM MY COLLEGE TO MY CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE WITHOUT ANY INCIDENTS. WHEN LEAVING MY CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE I WAS BACKING OUT OF PARKING STALL WITH WHEELS TURNED TO THE RIGHT. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A LOUD POP. BEING A MECHANIC I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE UJOINT ISSUES. I CLIMBED UNDER AND CHECKED MY DRIVELINE AND EVERYTHING WAS IN GOOD ORDER. I THEN DROVE BACK TO MY COLLEGE WHERE I COULD GET MY TRUCK ONTO A LIFT AND CHECK IT OUT. IN THE 12 MILES FROM THE CHIROPRACTORS OFFICE TO THE COLLEGE IT HAD PROGRESSED TO THE POINT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE. IT WOULD BIND WHEN TURNING LEFT AND DRAG WHEELS AS THOUGHT LIMITED SLIP WAS OUT. OR WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT IT WOULD SOUND AS THOUGH SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A 20 POUND SLEDGE HAMMER AND HIT THE TAIL SHAFT OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE REAR AXLE SEALS AND BEARINGS WERE REPLACED AT 50,000MI UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. AFTER REVIEWING MANY CLAIMS ON THIS DIFFERENTIAL THIS WAS AN INDICATION AS TO THE REAR DIFF GOING OUT. CURRENTLY I HAVE 67,000MI ON IT AND ON THE DEALER LEVEL THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE. HAVE A PHONE INTERVIEW WITH A NISSAN NORTH AMERICA DISTRICT REP TOMORROW AND HOPE TO HAVE THIS CLEARED UP. IF NOT THE QUOTE TO GET A NEW REAR END ASSEMBLY, SINCE YOU CANNOT JUST ORDER THE PUMPKIN, IS $3400.00. I SEE THAT THERE IS A HUGE ISSUE WITH THIS AND HOPE THAT NISSAN WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS. MY TRUCK IS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE CREW CAB 4X4 WITH OFFROAD AND TOW PACKAGE. NO MODS HAVE BEEN DONE TO TRUCK WITH EXCEPTION OF PUTTING ON NERF BARS. EVERYTHING ELSE IS WHAT NISSAN SENT IT OUT THE DOORS WITH. THANK YOU *TR

HELLO. I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHEN HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED FOR SAFETY, WE NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE REAR AXLE SEALS ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE WERE LEAKING. THE SEAL LOOKED TO HAVE LEAD A FAIRLY LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT WAS SATURATING THE RIM AND ALSO SOAKED THE EMERGENCY BREAK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER LOOKING AT THE CAR FAX IN NOTICED THAT THIS SAME VEHICLE HAD A REAR AXLE SEAL REPLACE IN JANUARY. I CANNOT BE CERTAIN THIS SEAL WAS THE SAME SEAL AS THE ONE IN JANUARY. THE VEHICLE HAS 68000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON TITAN TALK.COM I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FROM THIS TRUCK. I AM NOT SURE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT BUT I DO FEEL LIKE THIS COULD TURN INTO A SAFETY ISSUE CONSIDERING NOT ONLY THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT THAT WHEN THIS PROBLEM DOES OCCUR, IT SATURATES THE RIMS, TIRES AND BRAKES WITH OIL. *TR

THE LEAF SPRING BOLT BROKE AND CAUSED THE REAR AXEL LEAF SPRING TO SHOOT THROUGH THE BED OF THE TRUCK. ON INSPECTION THE OTHER LEAF SPRING WAS READY TO ALSO BREAK. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE TURNING A CORNER ON THE ROAD. PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE SHACKLE, CLIPS, SPRING ASSEMBLE, BOLTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL PARTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SINCE THE OTHER ONE WAS FOUND TO BE DEFECTIVE ALSO. ALL PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS AT OUR EXPENSE. NISSAN STATED IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. HOWEVER, SEVERAL MASTER MECHANICS STATED THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN. *TR

WHILE ROLLING FROM A STOP DRIVING A NISSAN 2005 TITAN TRUCK WITH 84,200 MILES ON IT, I HEARD A NOISE AND SUBSEQUENT CLANGING SOUND. LATER THAT DAY I INVESTIGATED THE SOUND AND DETERMINED IT WAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE PROBLEM WAS PROBABLY THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. I TOOK IT TO A NISSAN DEALER WHO LATER DETERMINED THAT THE PINION GEAR LOSS A TOOTH/TEETH. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DETERMINED THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS TO INSTALL THE WHOLE REAR END ASSEMBLY INCLUDING HOUSING, GEARS, AND AXLES COSTING $3100 AT THE NISSAN DEALER. THERE IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH NISSAN WHICH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
