I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN. I MADE A TURN ONTO AN ON RAMP GOING ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR WHEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I LOOKED AND NO ONE WAS THERE. MY TRUCK STARTED MAKING A REALLY BAD POPPING NOISE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO MEINEKE WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS OUT. SO I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY GAVE ME THE SAME DIAGNOSIS AND DENIED MY CLAIM FOR THEM TO FIX IT. PRICE TAG FOR THE REPAIR IS 3300 NOT INCLUDING TAXES. *TR

NISSAN TITAN FRONT & REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE - I PURCHASED THE NISSAN TITAN - OFF ROAD/BIG TOW PACKAGE IN JULY 2005 AND PRIMARILY USED THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL WAS DAMAGED AND THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE WAS NOT ATTACHED TO THE DIFFERENTIAL. WHILE AT THE DEALER I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE REAR END. FIRST THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEN 24 LATER AFTER CONSIDERATE PROMPTING THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE REAR END NEED TO BE REPLACED. NISSAN USA PAID FOR THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL (PARTS ONLY) AND HAS REJECTED MY REQUEST TO REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE AND OTHER SITES NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

FRONT AXLE FAILED AT 41,000 MILES WITH ATTEMPTING TO SWITCH INTO 4WD HI ON SNOW AND ICE COVERED STREET DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AXLE SHAFT SNAPPED AT A MACHINED POINT ON THE SHAFT AND HAD PULLED OUT OF THE DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING ALLOWING THE GEAR FLUID TO LEAK OUT. DEALER REPLACED THE STUB SHAFT AND INTERNAL PINION GEAR. THIS WAS ONLY THE SECOND TIME I'VE USED THE 4WD. THANKFULLY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AS IT WAS NOT COVERED BY FACTORY WARRANTY. *TR

NISSAN TITAN 2004, 4 DOOR, V8, 4 WHEEL DRIVE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL, ALSO CALLED UNIVERSAL JOINT, WENT OUT AT 74,000 MILES. NISSAN HAD A SEAL LEAK ISSUE, WHICH PREVIOUS OWNER DID THE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR OF THE SEAL BUT IT DID NOT WORK OR SOMETHING ELSE WENT WRONG. REPAIR COST $3,213.31. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. VEHICLES SHOULD EASILY GO 100,000 MILES WITHOUT UNIVERSAL JOINT ISSUES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB. I HAVE ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS HAD MAJOR BRAKE RELATED ISSUES. YOU ARE PROBABLY WELL AWARE THAT THE TITAN HAD SOME INITIAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKES IN THE EARLY MODELS THAT WERE SOLVED. HOWEVER, THE DEALER HAS FAILED TO SOLVE MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS I AND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD. IN RANDOM SITUATIONS, APPLYING THE BRAKES LIGHTLY AND NORMALLY, THE BRAKES BASICALLY FAIL TO OPERATE NORMALLY AND WHEN THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT OFFERS NONE OF THE NORMAL RESISTANCE AND INSTEAD EASILY GOES STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR, EMMEDIATELY THIS LOCKS THE BRAKES AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO COME TO A RAPID AND IMMEDIATE LURCHING AND SLIDING STOP. SO FAR, MOST TIMES, I HAVE BE ABLE TO FEEL A SUBTLE CHANGE IN THE PEDAL IN TIME TO CHANGE HOW I APPLY THE BRAKES, BUT A FEW TIMES I HAVE BEEN SLAMMED AGAINST THE SEAT BELT AND NEARLY HIT MY FACE ON THE STEERING WHEEL. OFTEN THE PROBLEM IS IMMEDUATELY PRECEDED BY A SMALL SOUND THAT SOUNDS LIKE A SPRING COMING UNDONE.( I KNOW THIS MAY SOUND A BIT REDICULOUS, BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE THE SOUND A SPRING WOULD MAKE IN A CARTOON..."BOING"). EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS THE BREAKS WILL REMAIN IN THE SAME STATE, MUSHY AND CAUSING AN IMMEDIATE LOCK UP UNTIL I STOP AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND GOES OFF AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION. EVERYTHING WILL BE NORMAL AFTER RESTARTING AND THE PROBLEM OFTEN WON'T RESEURFACE FOR WEEKS OR MONTHS. IT HAPPENS TO ME ABOUT EVERY 45-60 DAYS AND I CAN NOT REPRODUCE IT. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPEND I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT, BUT THEY DID NOT. I FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM ONLINE SO THIS IS REAL AND NOT AN ISOLATED CASE. HERE ARE A FEW SITES WERE DRIVERS/OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM : HTTP://FORUMS.FIGHTBACK.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=28582 HTTP://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/59241-SUDDEN-TOTAL-BRAKE-FAILURE.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN THAT HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL IN THE REAR END. IN MY CASE THE REAR END DID NOT LOCK UP AT HIGHWAY SPEED BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT HAPPENING IS THERE. AFTER MY PROBLEM OCCURRED I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND DETERMINED THAT MY CASE WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MY TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED, HAS A TOWING PACKAGE WHICH HAS BEEN USED TO TOW A TRAILER ONLY A FEW TIMES AND HAD ONLY 62,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. FROM WHAT I COULD DETERMINE NISSAN REDESIGNED THE REAR END I N THE 2008 MODEL AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REDUCED BUT THAT DOES NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM FOR THE 2004-2007 MODELS ON THE ROAD. UNFORTUNATELY THE NISSAN SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE FAULTY REAR END WITH THE SAME TYPE WHICH IN MY CASE I CHOSE NOT TO DO. FROM THE INFORMATION I COULD GATHER I WAS BETTER OFF AND SAFER GOING WITH AN AFTERMARKET DIFFERENTIAL WHICH I DECIDED TO DO TO PREVENT POTENTIAL PROBLEMS IN ANOTHER 3-4 YEARS OR SOONER. I REALIZE THERE ARE NOT LARGE NUMBERS OF NISSAN TITANS ON THE ROAD BUT THIS DOES NOT MAKE THE SITUATION ANY LESS DANGEROUS FOR THE DRIVERS OF THEM. *TR

DRIVER SIDE REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING, FLUID LEAKING ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLY; LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL SEEPING. SEALS HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR A WHILE. ON WWW.TITANTALK.COM PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS AXLE SEAL FAILURES. NISSAN SHOULD RECALL ALL TITANS AND PATHFINDERS WITH THIS AXLE VENT SYSTEM AND REPAIR THE VENT WITH SOMETHING BETTER. UNTIL THIS IS PERFORMED, AXLE SEALS WILL CONTINUE TO FAIL AND FLUID WILL CONTINUE TO POTENTIALLY LEAK ONTO BRAKE ASSEMBLIES CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 DIFFERENT TIMES TO HAVE THE FUEL SENDING UNIT REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE GAUGE WAS STUCK ON QUARTER OF A TANK OF FUEL WHEN I RAN OUT AND STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD DURING A BUSINESS LUNCH. EACH TIME AFTER WAS DIFFERENT POINTS ON THE GAUGE, BUT ALWAYS THE SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY CLAIM THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED WITH THE UNIT, BUT MY TRUCK AND I DISAGREE. *TR

MY GRANDSON OWNS A 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICK UP, HE MADE A TURN INTO OUR STREET AND BED OF THE TRUCK, LITERALLY BECAME TWISTED AND NOT ALIGN WITH THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. HE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. WHEN HE TOOK THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE DEALERS THEY ADVISE HIM THAT BOLTS AND COME LOOSE AND THE WOULD CHARGE 300.00 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR. WE HAVE OWN A LOT OF TRUCKS IN MY LIFE TIME AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OF THE TRUCK WE OWN. WHAT TYPE OF COMPANY SEES NO DANGER IN THIS. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. AND ALL THEY COULD THINK ABOUT WAS THE CHARGE. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD WANT TO FIND OUT WHY THIS HAPPEN. SINCERELY A VER CONCERN GRANDMOTHER AND SOON TO BE GREATMOTHER. *TR

THE SPIDER GEARS WENT OUT ON MY NISSAN TITAN 4X4 AND I DISCOVERED IT IS A WELL KNOWN FAILURE IN THE EARLY 04, 05 AND EARLY 06 TITAN 4X4'S. NISSAN WON'T SELL SPIDER GEARS. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT $3,000. THEY SHOULD BE REPAIRING ALL THE EARLY TITANS ON RECALL. *CN

I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I PULLED AWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH I THOUGHT I WAS REARENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE REAREND WAS POPPING AND GRINDING. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT AND DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID OR SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVELINE. I TRIED TO BACK UP AND PULL FORWARD AND THE REAR WHEELS WERE LOCKED UP. THE VEHICLE STOPPED SO VIOLENTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN GOING ANY FASTER I AM SURE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURED. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. DEALER SAID REPAIR WILL BE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE REAREND AT A COST OF $3500.00 FOR A USED UNIT. *CN
