ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH
TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH FELL OUT OF PLACE ON THE STEERING COLUMN SO SHE WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HINGE THAT HELD THE SWITCH IN PLACE WAS MISSING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000.

THE NISSAN TITAN 2007 HAS A FRONT END BRAKE PROBLEM . THEY WEAR OUT TO THE POINT THAT WHEN YOU PRESS THE BRAKE THE FRONT BRAKES CHATTER AND IT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GOING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY NISSAN THREE TIMES IN 32000 MILES . THEY TRIED TO CHARGE US ALL THREE TIMES BUT AFTER THREATENING TO CALL A TV STATION THEY RELENTED AND REPLACED THEM. A MECHANIC WHO FELT SORRY FOR US SAID THIS WAS A MASSIVE PROBLEM AND NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED ANY ORDERS TO DEALERS. HE INDICATED THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE SET UP ARE TO SMALL FOR THE VERY LARGE TITAN TRUCK. A LOOK ON THE INTERNET UNDER COMPLAINTS WILL BEAR OUT THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP HELP HELP! *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2004 NISSAN TITAN - REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. IN SHOP- WAITING FOR REPAIRS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A COMMAON FAILURE FOR THIS TRUCK AND THAT REPAIRS MOST LIKELY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM AS IT APPEARS THAT IT WILL PROBABLY OCCUR AGAIN. NEED RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AS BRAKES MAY FAIL. DO WE NEED WHAT HAPPENED TO TOYOTA TO HAPPEN TO NISSAN TO GET RESULTS ? ? ?

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS TWO CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. THEY ARE CRACKED INTO TWO PIECES AND ARE ALLOWING CARBON MONIXIDE TO ESCAPE FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ADJACENT TO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LETHAL FAILURE DUE TO CO POISIONING. NISSAN HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND WILL NOT ASSIST WITH REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR REPORTED CASES. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND I UNDERSTAND NISSAN'S RELUCTANCE, FINANCIALLY, TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE DESIGNED FLAW THAT CAUSED THE FAILURE I BELIEVE THAT A RECALL IS JUSTIFIED. I AM VERY WILLING TO TAKE THE STEPS REQUIRED TO INITIATE A RECALL, BUT I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 TITAN CREW CAB SINCE 2008 AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE BRAKE SERVICE REQUESTS PERFORMED FOR "BRAKE JUDDER". PREVIOUS SOLUTION WAS TO TURN THE ROTORS BACK TO TRUE UNTIL ROTORS CAN NO LONGER BE TURNED AND NEW OEM ROTORS ARE ACQUIRED THAT WILL START THE WHOLE PROCESS OVER AGAIN. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THE LARGER PROBLEM. BRAKE ROTOR SIZE AND MATERIAL SELECTED FOR THE 2006 NISSAN TITAN MODEL IS INADEQUATE TO PROVIDE ENOUGH SURFACE AREA AND VENTING FOR PROPER HEAT DISSIPATION TO PREVENT WARPAGE OF THE OEM BRAKE ROTORS. THIS BRAKE ROTOR TURNING SERVICE WAS PERFORMED 10,000 MILES AGO, 5,000 MILES AGO AND THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN NEED OF THE SAME SERVICE. A VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES THAT IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 12,000 MILES PER YEAR SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD 3 BRAKE SERVICE ISSUES FOR THE SAME MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. MY PERSONAL SOLUTION (BECAUSE NISSAN HAS FAILED TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DEFECT IN NEED OF A RECALL) IS TO UPGRADE THE OEM BRAKE HARDWARE WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE SLOTTED AND DIMPLED ROTORS AND CERAMIC BRAKE PADS TO PROVIDE FOR ADEQUATE HEAT DISSIPATION AND PREVENT ROTOR WARPAGE.

WAS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRIED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, TRUCK BASICALLY STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD UNTIL I HEARD A POPING THEN WAS ABLE TO TURN BUT 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILED. NOW THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH MY POWER TRAIN AND FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. WENT TO A GARAGE THEY SAY MISSING A CLAMP, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO CLAMP AND NOTHING WRONG THAT IT WORKS FINE.

POWER TRAIN
1. THERE WERE NO SPECIFIC EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. 2. THE C-CLIP THAT HELD MY DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE IN THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL OF MY 2004 4X4 NISSAN TITAN BROKE, CAUSING THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL TO FAIL. I NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE UNDER THE TRUCK ONE EVENING AND UPON INSPECTION, FOUND THAT THE AXLE HAD SHIFTED 1/2 TO 3/4 OF AN INCH OUTSIDE OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING. THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE RUINED SIDE SEAL CAUSED BY THE C CLIP BREAKING. 3. I FILLED THE DIFFERENTIAL UP WITH NEW OIL TO AVOID BURNING UP THE RING AND PINION (DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS ALREADY BAD AT THE TIME) SO THAT I COULD GET THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. ONCE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED, I WAS TOLD THE REPAIR WOULD BE $1987. I CHECKED AROUND AND NO OTHER AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP COULD FIX THIS B/C THEY COULD NOT GET THE PARTS. APPARENTLY THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FOR MY TRUCK IS "CAPTIVATED" WHICH MEANS ONLY THE DEALERSHIPS CAN GET THEM. TO MY UNDERSTANDING, IT SEEMS KIND OF LIKE A MONOPOLY ON THE PARTS.

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP THAT HAS HAD THE REAR AXLE SEALS REPLACED TWO TIMES AND HAD IT IN FOR A THIRD TIME AND WAS TOLD IT WAS RESIDUAL OIL FROM THE PREVIOUS REPAIR AND NSENT ON MY AWY WEWLL IT WAS LEAKING AGAIN AND NOW HAS TO GO BACK FOR A FOURTH TIME IN ABOUT 3000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT. THIS LEAK HAS THE POTENTIAL TO GET GEAR OIL ALL OVER THE REAR DISC BRAKES CAUSING POOR BRAKING, ALSO IF THE REAR END SIEZED UP FROM LACK OF OIL IT COULD CAUSE YOU TO GO OUT OF CONTROL.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I THINK THE BRAKE SYSTEM IN MY 2005 TITAN IS INADEQUATE. THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT @ 20000 MILES AND REPLACED BY NISSAN FOR THIS DEFECT BUT AT 60000 MILES, THE FRONT DISC ROTORS WERE BENT AGAIN. MAKING STOPPING THIS TRUCK HAZARDOUS AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND IT TOOK MUCH FARTHER TO STOP. I CHECK THE DISC ROTORS AND THE BRAKE PADS AND THEY ARE NORMAL. I CONTACT NISSAN BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPONSE.*DT

LOUD ROAR FROM REAR OF TRUCK. ONCE IT STARTED IT GOT WORSE OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. CARRIED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD REAR END GEAR FAILURE. DEALER REPLACED REAR END. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE ONLY 10,000 OUT OF WARRANTY BUT TURNED DOWN. IF REAR END HAD WENT OUT AT SPEED THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS...NISSAN NEEDS TO REPAIR THESE TRUCKS! *TR

2005 TITAN 4X4 TRUCK. I HAD A NEW SET OF TIRES PUT ON MY TRUCK. THE TIRE SHOP NOTICED FLUID LEAKING ONTO THE BACK PLATE OF THE BRAKE ON THE RIGHT REAR OF MY TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS GEAR LUBE LEAKING OUT OF THE AXLE SEAL AND CONTAMINATED THE E-BRAKE AND PADS FOR THAT WHEEL. HE ALSO HAD TO CHANGE THE BEARING BECAUSE IT WAS PRESSED ON BETWEEN THE SEAL. *TR
