POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SERIOUS VIBRATION COMING FROM THE REAR END OF MY 2007 NISSAN TITAN. I THOUGH THAT IT MIGHT BE AN OUT OF BALANCE TIRE. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO FIRESTONE WHERE THEY NOTICED MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR AXLE OUTPUT SEAL WAS LEAKING. I WENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND DECODED TO CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL OF MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND HAD TO ADD 1 QUART(OUT OF 2 QUARTS). THE DRAIN PLUG IS MAGNETIC AND I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS ALOT OF METAL ATTACHED TO IT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE NOISE WAS GETTING MORE PRONOUNCED AND STARTED TO SHAKE THE WHOLE TRUCK. I DECIDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPT AND HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED ME AND I WENT TO SEE THE OUTCOME. HE INFORMED ME THAT MY DRIVESHAFT WAS BINDING DO TO A FAULTY DIFFERENTIAL AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACE A DIFFERENTIAL IN THESE TRUCKS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS ARE PRONE TO GOING OUT. AFTER DISCOVERING TITANTALK.COM I FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN HASN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE DIFFERENTIAL CAME IN.*TR

REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING ON 2007 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP. REAR AXLE GREASE WAS LEAKING ONTO WHEEL AND REAR BRAKE DISK... POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FAILURE OF THE BRAKES TO STOP ADEQUATELY, HAD I NOT FOUND THE LEAK AS QUICKLY AS I DID. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT FAILURE ON THE NISSAN TITAN. HERE IS ONE LINK TO A FORUM THAT IS TRACKING AXLE SEAL FAILURES AMONG ITS MEMBERS: HTTP://WWW.TITANTALK.COM/FORUMS/TITAN-ENGINE-TRANSMISSION-DRIVETRAIN/42837-REAR-AXLE-SEALS-LEAKS-PLEASE-REPORT.HTML. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NISSAN IPDM (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE) WHICH HOUSES THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WILL INADVERTENTLY SHUT OFF POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME FROM A PARKED VEHICLE AND HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE IS NO TIMED SEQUENCE AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT WHEN IT DOES YOU LOSE POWER TO THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WILL RE-START AFTER SITTING FOR 10 MINUTES, BUT MAY CUT OUT AGAIN 15 MINUTES LATER. *TR

STRUCTURE
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN TRUCK LEAKS ON THE FLOORBOARD WHEN IT RAINS THIS HAPPENS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. ELECTRICAL WIRING IS LAYING IN A PUDDLE OF WATER. WATER ALSO POURS OUT OF THE DOORS. THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE IS COVERED IN MOLD AND NOW RUST HAS APPEARED. THIS INCLUDES CARPET, SEATS, STEERING WHEEL AND MORE. FRONT RIGHT WHEEL IS ALSO RUSTED. DUE TO THE WATER PROBLEMS THERE IS CONDENSATION ON THE WINDSHIELD WHICH MAKES VISIBILITY POOR. ATTEMPTS MADE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM HAS FAILED. *TR

THE IPDM RELAY IN MY TRUCK IS MESSED UP, IT BEGAN WITH HAVING A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSED MY TRUCK TO BASICALLY NOT BE ABLE TO GAIN ANY SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID IT WAS THE IPDM ISSUE AND THEY WOULD TRY TO FIX IT. OTHER TITAN OWNERS HAVE HAD THEIR TRUCKS SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE RUNNING DOWN THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE IPDM, NISSAN KNOWS OF THE ISSUE HAS NO PARTS TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND WILL NOT HELP US OUT. *TR

WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THEN A SHAKE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TELL ME THAT MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL GAVE OUT AND NOW THE WHOLE REAR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT WILL COST ME $3000 TO FIX. MY MILEAGE IS 55,600 AND MY WARRANTY JUST EXPIRED IN JULY. NISSAN USA SAID THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I DON'T PAY THEM TO DO MY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE OCCURRED YESTERDAY 11/1/09 AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND PUT ON MY BRAKES AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND A SPRING LIKE NOISE OCCURRED. IN ADDITION THE BRAKES WERE SOFT AND SCRAPING SOUND OCCURRED WHEN APPLIED. THIS OCCURRED EACH TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKES FOR THE NEXT 4MILES UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. THE BRAKE LIGHT REMAINED ON THE ENTIRE TIME UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY, MONDAY. LATE SATURDAY, I HAD TO MOVE MY VEHICLE AT HOME AND NOTICED THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OFF AND THE BRAKES WORKED NORMALLY WITHOUT ANY SOUND OR SOFTNESS.THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. AT THAT TIME I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND LEFT THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALER OVERNIGHT BECAUSE IT WAS LATE IN THE DAY NEAR CLOSING.. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER SAID THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE AND IT REACTED NORMALLY AND "IT PROBABLY WAS SOME DIRT/DUST IN AND AROUND THE BRAKES CAUSING THE BRAKES TO STICK'.. THERE WAS NO WORK DONE ON THE VEHICLE. TODAY, THE SAME DEALER LOOKED AT MY VEHICLE AND RAN SOME TESTS AFTER I INSISTED THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE SAME THING HAS OCCURRED. THIS TIME THE DEALER FOUND A DEFECTIVE/WORN DELTA SPEED SENSOR AND RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED 1/1/09.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
2005 NISSAN TITAN. DOOR LATCH FAILURE DURING COLD WEATHER BELOW FREEZING. LIVE IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA, SO TIME PERIOD OF THIS WEATHER IS OCTOBER - APRIL. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, NOR CLOSE PROPERLY FROM INSIDE, OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. HAD THIS PROBLEM LAST WEEK, WAS NOT ABLE TO GET BACK INTO VEHICLE FOR 10MIN WHILE CHILD WAS STILL IN BACK SEAT. YESTERDAY 2 NOV DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DOOR OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY AND PASSENGER NEARLY FELL OUT OF VEHICLE. NO ONE INJURED, HOWEVER YOU CAN IMAGINE THE EXPERIENCE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE IS A NISSAN TSB THAT THEY WILL REPLACE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IF VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN USA: TBNS BX56AA / TSB 05118. HOWEVER IF VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY QUOTED ME AT $400+ PER DOOR X'S 4 DOORS. THIS IS UNREASONABLE AND A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY THAT EXPERIENCES WEATHER BELOW 32DEGREES F. IT IS A KNOWN FAILURE THAT NISSAN USA KNOWS ABOUT. THIS SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL. THERE WILL BE SEVERE LAWSUITS FILED IF ANOTHER PASSENGER, MY CHILD, OR MYSELF CANNOT GET INTO A VEHICLE, OR UNEXPECTEDLY FALLS OUT. BELOW ARE LINKS TO A NISSAN TITAN ONLINE FORUM WITH MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS.

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN HAD A REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AT APPROX. 73,000 MILES. THERE WAS A LOUD BANGING/RATCHETING SOUND AND THEN THE FAILURE. NISSAN (OR NO ONE ELSE, FOR THAT MATTER) WILL NOT SELL REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. YOU CAN ONLY PURCHASE THE "ENTIRE UNIT", AT A COST OF $3500.00, WHICH IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS, SINCE IT IS ONLY A PART OF THE ENTIRE UNIT THAT HAS FAILED. I'M AFRAID THAT IF I HAD BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THAT MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. *TR

PULLED SLOWLY FROM A MCDONALD'S DRIVE THROUGH INTO HALTED TRAFFIC (RED LIGHT). AS I PULLED OUT OF DRIVE THROUGH, HEARD BIG BANG AND FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN REAR-ENDED. TRIED TO ACCELERATE, TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE, AND I COULD HEAR AN AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE AT WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TIRE ROTATION SPEED. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. CHARGED $3,798.22 TO REPLACE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. WAITING TO HEAR BACK FORM NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WILL REIMBURSE FOR AT LEAST COST OF PART(3223.00.) *TR

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WENT OUT ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN, IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE PART, I HAD TO BUY AN "ENTIRE" NEW REAR DIFFERENTIAL (BECAUSE THIS OF COURSE HAPPENED OUT OF WARRANTY). I WAS TOLD THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED IS ACTUALLY A VERY SMALL PART OF THE DIFFERENTIAL, BUT I HAD TO PAY $4000 TO GET THE ENTIRE THING REPLACED. I WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT I AM VERY VERY GLAD THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS ONLY DOING ABOUT 15 MPH WHEN IT WENT, AND IT FELT LIKE I GOT HIT BY A MACK TRUCK!!!!! I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO SEE HOW OFTEN THIS IS HAPPENING AND IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ALOT! SOMEONE SHOULD CHECK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED! *TR
