1. THERE WERE NO KNOW EVENTS APPARENT BEFORE THE FAILURE. 2. REAR AXLE SEAL HAS FAILED ON MY 2005 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 AT 57,000 MILES. AXLE LUBE IS EVERYWHERE ON DRIVERS SIDE RIM, TIRE AND BRAKE COMPONENTS. THERE IS ALSO NOTICEABLE BLOW BY ON THE TAILGATE AND I'M SURE LUBE HAS BEEN DISSIPATED TO VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN BEHIND ME ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO A FAILURE OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS AND VISION ISSUES WITH FOLLOWING VEHICLES. 3. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN AND NISSAN HAS HAD ME AND MANY OTHERS IN ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS TO REPAIR THE FRONT BRAKES. THE FRONT WHEEL WOULD SHAKE WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. JUST BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT THEY SAID THEY HAD A FIX. THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE ROTORS BECAUSE THE WERE TO SMALL FOR THE TRUCK. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE REPAIR, THE THIRD REPAIR, THE HAD COME UP WITH ANOTHER FIX THEY SAID AND IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT FUNNY. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT, BUT IT ALMOST FELT LIKE IT WAS APPLYING MORE PRESSURE TO THE REAR BRAKES TO RELIEVE THE PRESSURE ON THE FRONT END. ANYWAY, SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE AND I HAVE ONLY PUT 16K MILES ON THE TRUCK AND THE FRONT END IS SHAKING AGAIN WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. THE MORE THE SPEED AND THE HARDER YOU APPLY THE BRAKES THE MORE IT SHAKES. ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE SHAKING THE FRONT END TO SHAKE, SOMETHING IN THE FRONT END POPS, LIKE WHEN YOU TOP A HILL. IT HAS GONE AWAY EVERY TIME THEY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE BRAKES, BUT WHEN THE SHAKING STARTS BACK SO DOES THE POPPING. I'M NOT TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE POPPING, BUT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SHAKING. THE LAST THING, TWO OF THE THREE TIMES THEY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE BRAKES, THEY HAVE ALSO TURNED THE ROTORS. ROTORS CAN ONLY BE TURN A COUPLE OF TIMES AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I FEEL THEY CHEAPED OUT ON THE REPAIR BY PATCHING THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. I WISH YOU GUYS WOULD LOOK INTO IT. WHETHER IT'S ME OR SOMEONE ELSE, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE DRIVING THIS TRUCK 10 YEARS FROM NOW. I DO KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING 65 OR 70 MILES PER HOUR AND YOU HIT THE BRAKES, IT WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION. I DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE IT WILL BE IF NISSAN IS NOT MADE TO REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I BOUGHT MY 2008 NISSAN TITAN 8/20/08, EVERYTHING WAS GREAT UNTIL ODM HIT ABOUT 3,000 MILES. THAT'S WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE WAS INCONSISTENT ON IT'S READINGS AND EVERY TIME I PUMPED GAS INTO MY TRUCK IT WOULD SPILL GAS OUT. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE NISSAN DEALER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM AND THEY KEPT IT FOR 3 1/2 HOURS WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS AND I SHOULD CHANGE MY GAS GRADE. I TOLD THEM I ONLY PUT 91 IN AND TO GO TO A LESSER GRADE WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS I WIGGLED AND REPOSITIONED THE NOZZLE TO HELP PREVENT THE GAS FROM SPILLING FROM THE TRUCK, MOST OF THE TIME THIS HELPS WITH LESS FUEL COMING OUT. I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND TOLD THEM I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME TWO PROBLEMS THEY SAID AGAIN THEY HADN'T FOUND ANYTHING WRONG BUT I COULD SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. I TOLD THEM I WOULD GO TO ANOTHER MECHANIC. I DID AND BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY THEY SAID I NEEDED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER EXPLAINING TO THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING THEY SET UP A MEETING WITH ANOTHER NISSAN DEALERSHIP, WHERE I LEARNED THAT ALL 08 AND 09 TIITANS HAVE NUMEROUS FUEL PROBLEMS. THEY DID REPLACE MY FUEL SENSOR AND SAID WITH THE GAS SPILLING OUT WHILE PUMPING I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE ALMOST ALL THE WAY OUT AND HOLD THE LEVER ONLY A QUARTER OF THE WAY IN TO PREVENT THE GAS SPILLING OUT. I ASKED HIM WHY THIS WAS HAPPENING HE SAID THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM COULDN'T HANDLE MUCH GAS PER SECOND BECAUSE THE WAY THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS BUILT IT BUILDS UP TO MUCH PRESSURE AND IN RETURN GAS SPILLS OUT. I TOLD HIM I WOULD LIKE IT FIXED AND SAID THERE WAS NO FIX FOR IT EXCEPT TO PULL OUT THE NOZZLE AND LIGHTLY HOLD THE LEVER. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAS SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO BE DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT BUILDS PRESSURE IN THE FUEL OF ALL PLACES HE SAID MY ONLY OTHER OPTION WAS TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

MY 2004 NISSAN TITAN KC SE 4X4 HAS HAD REAREND PROBLEMS 3 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY TRUCK. I HAVE HAD AXLE SEALS REPLACED, DIFFERENTIAL ISSUES, AND NOW FOR THE 3RD TIME, THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY TRUCK OVER 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND! THE SPIDER GEARS LITERALLY FELL APART INSIDE MY DIFFERENTIAL. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I HAVE ONLY 85,000 MILES ON IT! THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BREAK! I DO NOT TOW, I RARELY USE 4-WHEEL DRIVE! I HEARD A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM MY REAREND, SO WHILE GETTING ANOTHER RECALL ISSUE RESOLVED HAD THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK....$3,500 WORTH OF WORK! HUDSON NISSAN HAS BEEN GREAT THROUGH MY OWNERSHIP! THEY DO ALL OF MY TITAN'S MAINTENANCE, AND THEY ARE THE BEST! HOWEVER, NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS ISSUE....MY TRUCK IS NEARLY PAID OFF AND TO FIX THIS IS MORE THAN HALF WHAT I OWE LEFT ON THE TRUCK! *TR

TOOK 2005 NISSAN TITAN PICKUP WITH 36,600 MILES TO DEALER FOR REAR AXLE SEAL LEAK. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH NISSAN!! THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY. DEALER REPLACED ,BEARING ,SPACER, SNAP RING, SEAL UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. 5 YEARS OR 60,000 MI. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM !! I THINK THEY SHOULD OFFER A LONG EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR FREE TO TITAN OWNERS!! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN 4WD. LAST YEAR, AFTER A LONG TRIP, I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE REAR AXEL WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS IN JULY OF 2008, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 48,813 MILES ON IT. I GOT IT FIXED. THEN 11 MONTHS LATER, AGAIN AFTER A LONG TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS WAS IN JUNE OF 2009, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 63,914 MILES ON IT. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND APPARENTLY IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF NISSAN TITAN OWNERS. SOME ARE REPORTING THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES, CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. I HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS YET, BUT EACH TIME I CAUGHT MY LEAK EARLY. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE 2008 TITAN HAS A NEW REAR AXEL DESIGN THAT HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE IN THE LATER MODELS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE EARLIER MODELS TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR

I NOTICED A KNOCK WHEN I WAS TAKING HARD LEFT TURNS. TRIED DRIVING IT TO WORK A FEW DAYS LATER AND ON MY WAY IN TO WORK (ANOTHER LEFT TURN) I HEARD A LOUD POP ALMOST LIKE I HIT A POT HOLE OR SOMETHING, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE ROAD. THAT NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME(APPROX. 1 MILE) TOOK MY FINAL LEFT TURN - LOUD CRACKING NOISE AND TIRES SQUEALED-ALSO SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR COMPLETELY FOR A FEW SECONDS. MECHANIC SAID THE SPYDER GEARS IN THE REAR DIFF. HAVE LOST THEIR TEETH. NISSAN WILL ONLY SELL THE WHOLE DIFF. WHICH COSTS $2000 PLUS TAX AND LABOR. NOT COOL. THERE WERE NO ACCIDENTS OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ONLY BECAUSE I WAS IN MY CONDOS DRIVEWAY AND THERE WERE NO CARS IN THE PARKING LOT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, PARKING BRAKE
PROBLEM STARTED GRADUALLY AS OCCASIONAL NOISES, SUCH AS "CLUNKING" AND RATTLING, FROM THE WHEELS WHILE DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO DEALER WHO COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ONE DAY LATER WHILE DRIVING, HEARD AWFUL GRATING NOISE FROM WHEELS AND ABS/VDC LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE PAD BROKE LOOSE AND DESTROYED THE ROTOR, THE ABS SENSOR, ETC. ($1,200 IN DAMAGE). DURING THE TWO WEEKS AFTER SERVICE, THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED ABOUT 3 OR 4 TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE BRAKES REACT AS IF IN ABS MODE AND GRIP AND GRIND WHILE STOPPING. TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE USUALLY MAKES THE LIGHT GO OFF AND THE BRAKES THEN OPERATE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALER, WHO STATED THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 2 WHEEL DRIVE WITH 74,600 MILES. I FOUND THAT I HAD A LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL LEAKING. TOOK IT TO DEALER TO GET IT FIX AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT SIDE SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO BUT AT $600.00 A CRACK TO REPLACE ONE SIDE I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO DO THE BAD ONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET ABOUT OTHER OWNERS OF TITANS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR REAR AXLE SEALS PREMATURELY FAILING WITH LOW MILEAGE I THINK NIACIN NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. IT A SHAM THAT THEY CHARGE YOU $500 TO $600 TO HAVE THESE REPLACED WHEN YOU CAN BUY THE BEARINGS OFF THE INTERNET FOR $75.00.... *TR
