THERE WAS NOT A CRASH, BUT THERE WAS A PROBLEM THAT COULD HAVE LED TO ONE. THE REAR AXLE SEALS LEAK ON ALMOST ALL NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCKS. I'VE HAD MINE REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 75,000 MILES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, OIL FROM THE AXLE COVERS THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS, AFFECTING BRAKING ABILITY. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; PROCEEDING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL FOLLOWED BY A LOUD A CLICKING NOISE. THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO APPLY EXTREME PRESSURE TO THE THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE "ABS" AND THE COMPUTER CODE WAS RESET. THE DRIVER SIDE CALIPER ALSO LOCKED AND A TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE FRONT CALIPER, FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED THE FRONT ROTORS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 87,773.

I PARKED MY TRUCK SUNDAY MORNING (9-27-09) AT ABOUT 3:30AM, NO PROBLEMS. THAT AFTERNOON SHE TOOK OUR SON TO THE STORE AND HEARD A CLANKING IN THE BACK END. SHE SAID IT WAS HEARD BEST ABOUT 20 MPH AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS. LATER FOUND A PUDDLE OF GEAR FLUID THAT WAS DRIPPING FROM THE FRONT OF THE REAR GEAR HOUSING. I HAVE 66,244 MILES, JUST 6,000 OUT OF WARRANTY. MY MECHANIC SAID A BOLT HAD LOOSENED UP CAUSING THE PINION TO SLIP TO THE REAR. VERY CLOSE TO HAVING A COMPLETE LOCK UP. *TR

2004 NISSAN TITAN - 50,000K MILES. NOTICED A REAR SEAL LEAKING ONTO BY TIRES AND ON MY BRAKES FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UNIT HAS NOT FAILED AS OF DATE BUT SERVICE DEPT SAYS ANY DAY IT WILL. GRENADA NISSAN OFFERED TO REPLACE BECAUSE OF KNOWN ISSUES, BUT NISSAN HEADQUARTERS HAS NOT HONORED WARRANTY TO DATE, B/C IT IS 6 MONTHS TOO LATE. WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY. CONCERNED IF IT FAILS AT INTERSECTION OR GOING DOWN ROAD AN ACCIDENT WITH BODILY INJURY CAN OCCUR. THE FLUID ON BRAKES MAY ALSO CAUSE SLIPPAGE WHILE BRAKING. VERY DANGEROUS. NISSAN QUOTED REPAIR NEAR 3500$. HAS BEEN KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN AND NHTSA. OVER 70 COMPLAINTS FILED, LUCKILY NO INJURY TODATE. THIS FAILURE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN NA, AND HAVE YET TO FIX FLAW ON THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE BEWARE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO NOT ONLY THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER AND PASSENGER, BUT TO OTHERS ON THE ROAD AS WELL. *TR

ROUTINE INSPECTION OF REAR AXLE REVEALED AXLE SEAL LEAK ON PASSENGER SIDE. LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL BLEW OUT AND LEAKED DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. DIFFERENTIAL FLUID LEAKING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS WHICH COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE, WHICH WAS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. AT TIME OF FAILURE AT 53675 MILES NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS HAD BEEN DONE TO VEHICLE. ALSO, THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL OIL WILL SLOWLY LEAK AND CAUSE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO LOSE FLUID AND FAIL. NISSAN REPLACED SPACER AXLE (43070-7S200), BEARING (40210-7S210), AND SEAL (43252-7S200). AS THIS SEEMED TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN TITAN, NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND OFFER A PERMANENT FIX SO WEOULD NOT BE FACED WITH THE SAFETY ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN HAS BEEN HAVING PERIODIC COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 7-8 TIMES. STARTED ABOUT 25,000 MI, CURRENTLY AT 34,000 MI. TOOK TO DEALER ON 8-1-09, DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, SAID IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ABS AND VDC CONTROLS AND THAT THIS WOULD FIX IT, YESTERDAY ON 8-22-09 IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER NORMAL DRIVING AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY, VERY SCARY. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, IF YOU SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTART, THE BRAKES ARE BACK AND SEEM TO BE WORKING FINE, THEY CAN GO FOR A WHILE WITH NO PROBLEM, THEN ONE DAY THEY WILL JUST NOT BE THERE, PUMPING THE BRAKE GIVES LITTLE BRAKE EFFECT AND A NOISE EMITS FROM UNDER THE HOOD, A STRANGE SOUND I HAVE NEVER HEARD COME FROM A VEHICLE BEFORE, BRAKES WILL GO TO FLOOR AND WILL NOT STOP IF HELD, HAVE TO PUMP LIKE CRAZY AND RESORT TO EMERGENCY STOPPING METHODS SUCH AS E-BRAKE, DOWNSHIFT AND RUBBING TIRES AGAINST CURB OR DRIVING INTO SOFT SAND TO STOP VEHICLE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH TITANS AND ARMADAS (SAME EXACT VEHICLE MECHANICALLY). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, I AM USED TO OLD CARS THAT HAVE PROBLEMS, THIS REALLY CATCHES YOU OFF GUARD. I WISH TO FILE A COMPLAINT AS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ROAD. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. THE REAR BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE PASSENGER SIDE LEAF SPRING SNAPPED AT THE BEND AND SENT THE ENTIRE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY THROUGH THE FLOOR OF MY PICKUP BED. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND WILL BE DROPPING THE TRUCK OFF TOMORROW. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. IT SEEMS THAT THE ORIGINAL SHACKLE WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH FOR NORMAL DRIVING. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL REPLACE THE SHACKLE AND TRUCK BED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS AMERICAN PACIFIC INDUSTRY TIRES, SIZE P265/70/R18 ON A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL TIRES EXCEPT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE ARE OUT OF ROUND. AS A CONSEQUENCE THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN IS UNSTABLE. INSTABILITY WHEN DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH. HE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ASSISTANCE. AS OF CURRENT DATE THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. HE STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE TIRES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 500.

I OWN A 2005 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB, WHICH I PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2005. AFTER, APPROXIMATELY 30DAYS OF OWNERSHIP AND 500 MILES OF TRAVEL; THE FRONT BRAKES BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE COMPLICATIONS (THEY WOULD SHUDDER WHILE BRAKING AND CREATE AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF BRAKE DUST.) I QUICKLY RETURN TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, FOR SERVICING. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE ROTORS. DURING THE SUMMER OF 2006, I BEGAN TO NOTICE A MUSTY ODOR EMITTING FROM THE FLOOR AND CARPETING OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND REQUESTED THE MECHANIC TO INSPECT THE TRUCK FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR. THEY COULDN'T LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE ODOR. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME PROBLEM ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS, DURING THE SUMMER OF 2007 ODOR REAPPEARED; THEY REPLACED THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND DOOR WINDOWS IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE ISSUE. MEANWHILE THE FRONT BRAKES ROTORS WERE REPLACED AGAIN AND THE GAUGES (FUEL, OIL, TACH ,VOLTMETER) ACTING ERRATICALLY. THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THE BRAKES UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY & PRORATED MY PURCHASE OF A NEW NISSAN AUTO BATTERY; ACCORDING TO SERVICE DEPT. THIS WAS THE CAUSE OF THE GAUGES MALFUNCTION. THEN AGAIN IN2008, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WERE NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THE MUSTY ODOR WAS CAUSED BY WATER COMING INTO THE CABIN VIA A SMALL VOID IN THE WINDOW SEALANT AROUND THE "FACTORY INSTALLED WINDSHIELD' UPON HEARING THIS, I CHOSE TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER MECHANIC DUE TO NISSAN MECHANIC INABILITY TO RESOLVE THE BRAKE ISSUE & LOCATE THE SOURCE OF THE WATER. THIS YEAR 2009, THE REAR END WAS REPAIRED DUE THE SEALS LEAKING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PREVENTIVE REPLACEMENT ON THE PASSENGER SEALS. HOWEVER, A FEW OLD ISSUES ALONG WITH NEW ONES THAT STILL EXIST. MY NEW MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SOURCE OF THE WATER & ODOR ISSUE IS THE A/C CONDENSER LEAKING INTO THE CABIN, THE BLINKING AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS DUE TO A HARNESS NEEDING REPLACING IN THE REAR DOORS. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR, STEERING
LEFT & RIGHT REAR SEALS LEAKING ON MY KING CAB 05 NISSAN TITAN. I HAD THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE DONE IN EARLY JULY 2009, AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE ON MY TRUCK AT THAT TIME WAS AROUND 66,000 MILES. UPON COMPLETING THE JOB, THE NEXT DAY, MOST OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKED OUT OF MY TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP CAME TO MY HOUSE AND REPAIRED THE LEAK AND TOPPED OFF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS A FAILED HOSE CLAMP. THEY TOOK MY TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK IT OVER TO CONFIRM THAT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS OK. THEY ALSO CHECK ON A FAN RECALL THAT WAS PENDING. THEY TOLD ME THAT NO REPAIRS WERE NECESSARY. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I NOTICED THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID APPEARED TO BE LEAKING AGAIN FROM THE FRONT END. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN EARLIER THIS WEEK AND THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A LEAKING TRANSMISSION HOSE AT NO CHARGE. THEY INFORMED ME AT THIS TIME THAT MY LEFT AND RIGHT REAR SEALS WERE LEAKING VERY BAD. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE A POWER STEERING LEAK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THESE ISSUES WERE NOT ADDRESSED IN JULY WHEN THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE WAS DONE UNLESS IT JUST RECENTLY STARTED. THEY TOLD ME HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO DO THE REPAIRS AND ADVISED THAT I TAKE CARE OF IT ASAP! *TR
