PARKING BRAKE
PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BRAKING POWER TO HOLD VEHICLE IN PLACE OR PROVIDE ANY NOTICEABLE BRAKING. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE BRAKES SERVICED. THE REAR BRAKE PADS, DISCS, AND CABLES WHERE REPLACED AND NO IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE WAS OBSERVED. *TR

PARK - IGNITION INTERLOCK IS DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWS THE KEY TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE VEHICLE BEING IN PARK. THIS POTENTIALLY ALLOWS THE VEHICLE TO ROLL AWAY AND CAUSE DAMAGE OR INJURY. *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND JUST BEFORE 60,000 MILES THE REAR END FAILED. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65MPH. THE REAR STARTED TO MAKE NOISE SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD TO TAKE A LOOK. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK THERE WAS DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALL OVER THE REAR OF THE TRUCK AND UNDER. SO I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED I PULL MY TRUCK UP TO THE FLAT BED, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WENT TO PULL MY NISSAN UP ON THE FLAT BED THE REAR END WAS LOCKED UP, I HAD IT IN NEUTRAL AT THE TIME. I STARTED MY TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE, I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO NOTICE MY DRIVE SHAFT HAD FALLEN OFF AND WAS ON THE GROUND. THIS WAS VERY UPSETTING, I JUST KEPT THINKING WHAT IF I HAD THE MUSIC ON OR SOMETHING AND DIDN'T HEAR THE NOISE WHEN I DID. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. A LOCKED UP REAR END OR A DRIVE SHAFT FALLING OFF AT HIGH SPEEDS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THERE ARE QUITE A BIT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. I LOVE MY TRUCK AND HAVE TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF IT, DID ALL MY REQUIRED SERVICES. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I STILL FELL UNDER THE 60,000MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I HAD ABOUT 56K AT THE TIME, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE REAR END ASSEMBLY. I WOULD ASSUME THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, DUE TO THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE FOUND, AND SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR
COMPLETE REAR END FAILURE OF MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN WHILE DRIVING 45MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. FAILURE HAPPENED AT 62500 MILES AND IS THE FIRST TIME TO MY KNOWLEDGE (PRE-OWNED). REAREND IS BEING REPLACED BY NISSAN SERVICE CENTER AT A COST OF $3500 THAT HAS TO BE PAID PERSONALLY AS THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY 2500 MILES OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY AND IT APPEARS DOUBTFUL THAT NISSAN WILL ASSIST OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE SEVERE DESIGN FLAW.*CW

2005 NISSAN TITAN, DRIVING ON GRAVEL ROAD IN 4WD AND I HAD GOTTEN STUCK IN 1 INCH OF SNOW. I REALIZED THAT MY 4WD WAS NOT WORKING ANY LONGER. I EXITED MY TRUCK AND GOT TO THE TOP OF THE HILL JUST IN TIME TO STOP ON COMING TRAFFIC THAT COULD OF STRUCK MY TRUCK AND CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY TO ME AND MY PASSENGER. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT, AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A NEW OR USED FRONT DIFFERENTIAL FOR THE TRUCK. THE WHOLE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDS REPLACED AND HERE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE PART BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY. I HAVE NOTICED ON SEVERAL THREADS AND FORUMS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE US. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED, BY THE MANUFACTURER IN MY OPINION. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T HAD AN "INCIDENT" YET, I WORRY ABOUT IT EVERYDAY. MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAS THE WORST BRAKES THAT I'VE EVER HAD IN A VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR ON EVERY STOP. SOMETIMES WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED IT "SKIPS" AND IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES RELEASE THEN GRAB AGAIN. THIS TRUCK WAS MEANT TO TOW UP TO 9,000LBS, BUT WHEN I TOWED ABOUT 4,000 AND TRIED TO STOP, I ALMOST RAN INTO SOMEONE. THE BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE WITHOUT TOWING AND BEYOND ACCEPTABLE TOWING ANY WEIGHT. SINCE THAT HAPPENED, I HAVE YET TO TOW ANYTHING ELSE, I'M AFRAID THE TRUCK WON'T STOP. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE BRAKES AREN'T "WHAT THEY SHOULD BE" BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE NISSAN HASN'T ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD BE LOCKED INTO. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE NISSAN ARMADA HAS THE SAME BRAKES AND THE SAME PROBLEMS. THANK YOU AS FAR AS THE INCIDENT DATE, I'M JUST USING THE FIRST DATE THAT I CAN REMEMBER REALIZING THE PROBLEM. *TR

SEATS
PASSENGER SEAT BACK ON 2004 NISSAN TITAN BECAME VERY LOOSE AND WOBBLY. I HAD A NISSAN SERVICE LOOK AT IT AND DETERMINE IT NEEDED REPLACING. WHEN THE NEW FRAME ARRIVED FROM NISSAN, IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL FRAME. THE SERVICE CENTER HAD TO REINFORCE THE FRAME SO IT WOULD BE RIGID AND SAFE. I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL SEAT FRAME IN MY POSSESSION FOR INSPECTION . I BELIEVE THIS SEAT FRAME DOES NOT MEET SAFETY STANDARDS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM
HEARD EXHAUST LEAK IN ENGINE AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES. MANIFOLD LEAK WAS CONFIRMED AT 101,000 WHEN BROUGHT IN FOR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. REVIEWED MANY TECHNICAL FORUMS WHERE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS BEING REPORTED AS CRACKED ON COUNTLESS TITANS. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND THE COST SHOULD NOT BE RELAYED TO THE CONSUMER AT A SIGNIFICANT DOLLAR AMOUNT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE AN '04 NISSAN TITAN CREW CAB TRUCK. IN EARLIER PART OF '09, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY, MY ENGINE STALLED AND WENT OUT. BASICALLY I WAS JUST ROLLING ON THE HWY UNAWARE THAT THE ENGINE WENT OUT. I REALIZED MY ENGINE WENT OUT WHEN I COULDN'T ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE, AND MY STEERING WAS DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START AFTER THAT. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WOULD CRANK, BUT WOULDN'T TURN, AND AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING FUEL. SEVERAL MECHANICS COULDN'T FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE UNTIL, I LATER LEARNED BY READING UP ON NISSAN FORUM ONLINE, OF SIMILAR CASES, THAT IT WAS AN IPDM FAILURE. I REPLACED THIS PART AND IT WORKED AGAIN. NOW, ITS JAN. 2010, AND IT WENT OUT ON ME AGAIN. THIS TIME, LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HWY, I WAS PARKED AND THE ENGINE WOULDN'T START. *TR
