ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:RADIATOR ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS ACTIVATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT ONE OF THE SENSORS INSIDE THE AIR CONDITIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE AND COOLANT FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A RADIATOR FLUSH AT THE COST OF $212, WHICH WAS AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE CONTACT ARRIVED HOME AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT OR ANTI-FREEZE IN THE VEHICLE. THE RADIATOR WAS BONE DRY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 50,000.

I HAVE A 2004 NISSAN TITAN LE 4X4 CREW CAB WITH 77K MILES AND BOTH REAR OUTER AXLE SEALS LEAK PROFUSELY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NUMEROUS TITAN OWNERS AND I FEEL THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THE NHTSA. I HAVE OEM STOCK WHEELS AND TIRES ON IT AND DON'T HAVE ANY SUSPENSION OR DRIVELINE MODIFICATIONS. *TR

REAR DIFFERENTIAL FAILURE AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT AN EXIT DUE TO UNEXPECTED LUNGE OF VEHICLE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND CONTINUING. NISSAN CLAIMED THIS WAS COMMON WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE AS BEFORE. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE TAKEN THIS AVENUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PHONE NUMBERS THEY GAVE ME ON MY RECALL NOTICE WENT NO WHERE. IT SEEMED THE 2 NUMBERS I DID CALL WERE NO HELP SO I AM RESORTING TO THE INTERNET PROCESS THEY OFFERED. IN MY NOTIFICATION IT STATES THAT THE NISSAN TITAN/ARMADA'S - 2005-2006 MODELS - THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAN MOTOR HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS, THAT INADEQUATE WATER DRAINAGE ALLOWS MOISTURE TO BUILD-UP LEADING TO INCREASED TEMPERATURES IN THE MOTOR WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE WIRING TO MELT THE INSULATION AND OTHER PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A FIRE. NOW THERE SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PROTECTOR KIT TO ELIMINATE A POTENTIAL FIRE TO OCCUR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF INDEED THESE HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPEC'S THEN THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED NOT MODIFIED. I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING, AFTER ALL WE PAID A GOOD SUM OF MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES AND EXPECT THESE ITEMS WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO BE HANDLED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, NOT BY SOME RINKY-DINKY PART INSTALLED TO GET THEM OUT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS RISEN. ALL I ASK IS THAT THIS BE LOOKED INTO, I'M NOT SAYING THE PART THEY WISH AND HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED FROM MY INFORMATION ON VEHICLES ALREADY WOULDN'T SUFFICE BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR.

SUSPENSION:REAR
THE SPRING SHACKLES ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN ARE DEFECTIVE. ONE BROKE AT AROUND 25,000 MILES AND THE SECOND ONE AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. THE SPRINGS SHOT UP INTO THE BED OF MY TRUCK ON BOTH OCCASIONS DENTING THE BED AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND HAD THE SHACKLE REPLACED AND I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND INQUIRED IF I SHOULD HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED THEY SAID NO IT WASN'T COMMON THE SPRING SHACKLES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK, IF THEY HAD BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

EQUIPMENT
I HAVE A 2004 TITAN CREW CAB 4X4 WITH 61,000 MILES. APRIL OF 2009 I CHECKED MY AIR CONDITIONER AND FOUND IT NOT TO BE COOLING. I TOOK IT IN THE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME I HAD A LEAK IN THE HIGH PRESSURE AC HOSE. CHARGES FOR REPAIR $450.00. OK NO PROBLEM. IN THE FOLLOWING MONTH OF MAY AFTER RETURNING FROM A TRIP I FOUND OIL BELOW THE RIGHT AXEL. AGAIN I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE FOR THE POWER STEERING WAS BOTH LEAKING. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE HOSE BRACKETS ON THAT MODEL WERE BAD AND THAT ALONG WITH NEW HOSES HE PUT ON THE NEW TYPE OF BRACKETS. HE DIDN'T SAY WHY THE HOSES LEAKED OTHER THAN "YOU KNOW THE TRUCK IS FIVE YEARS OLD." BY THE WAY THE COST FOR THAT REPAIR $859.00. SO IN THE SPAN OF 30 DAYS I HAVE SPENT OVER $1300.00 TO HAVE ALL OF THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSES REPLACED. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE HOSES LIKE THIS ON ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED AND SOME I KEPT FOR UP TO TEN YEARS. IS IT THE HOSES THAT ARE SUB-STANDARD OR IS IT THE CLAMPS THAT WORE THROUGH THE HOSES? EITHER WAY ALL THE HOSES SHOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED REPLACEMENT IN SUCH A SHORT TIME. IT DOESN'T MATTER I WAS LOOKING BUYING A NEW TITAN UNTIL THIS CAME UP. NO NEW TITAN FOR ME. *TR

SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE REAR LEAF SPRING. THE LEAF SPRING APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST BRACKET FAILED AND THE CONTACT BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN REDESIGNED A NEW PART, WHICH THE CONTACT STATED WAS A MUCH BETTER DESIGN THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRACKET WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE BRACKET NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000. UPDATED 6/8/09 *CN UPDATED 06/11/09.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AT 29,900 MILES (1.5 YEARS AGO) AND ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. NOW HAVE DRIVEN 48,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT AXLE SEAL ON THE LEFT SIDE (SAME AS BEFORE) HAS STARTED LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR TOWING OR ANY TYPE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS AND CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF REAR END AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT FROM SUDDEN STOP CAUSED BY AXLE LOCKING UP. REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALSO LEAKS ON REAL BRAKE ROTORS AND EMERGENCY BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME FAILURE CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE (2006 NISSAN TITAN). *TR

SEATS
1. THIS IS PIGGY BACKING ON TSB #05092; NHTSA ITEM #10017420. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T A RECALL. I KNOW NISSAN DOESN'T WANT A RECALL BECAUSE THEY JUST GAVE ME A QUOTE FOR $600 TO FIX THEIR DEFECT!!! AND WHERE DOES SAFETY START INSIDE THE VEHICLE? THE SEATS! SO I'M BASICALLY ASKING NHTSA TO UPGRADE THIS TSB TO A RECALL. 2. THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT RATTLES AND MOVES CONSTANTLY. CONSEQUENCES I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IF WE GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY FAMILY IS IN THE TRUCK. LOSE SEAT; NOT GOOD. 3. I HAVE A QUOTE THAT SHOWS THE "SEAT ADJUSTER" NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AND IT'S FOR THE LOW LOW COST OF $600. AGAIN, NO WONDER NISSAN WOULD RATHER SLIDE THIS THROUGH ON TSB RATHER THAN RECALL. THE SEAT HAS DONE THIS AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER SO THE 1/1/07 DATE IS NOT EXACT (I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2005). ALSO, THIS REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I TRAVEL VERY FREQUENTLY SO I MISSED GETTING MY TRUCK IN UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY, WHICH EXPIRED IN AUG-08. THANKS! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY GIRLFRIEND OWNS A 2004 NISSAN TITAN. ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE BRAKING SYSTEM STARTED FAILING, SO I PURCHASED NEW BRAKES AND NO CHANGE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUED UNTIL I TALKED TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME TO TRY THE MASTER CYLINDER. PURCHASED A NEW ONE, NO CHANGE. NISSAN CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS BUT WHEN WE PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP. WE CAN PUMP THEM A COUPLE OF TIMES THEN IT'LL START TO STOP. NISSAN WON'T EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND THE ONLY REPLY WE GET FROM THEM IS "IT NEEDS NEW BRAKES, OR THE BRAKE PADS ARE ON BACKWARDS." WE WHERE BROWSING ON THE INTERNET AND SAY AN ARTICLE WHERE THERE WAS A LEMON LAW AND THE BRAKING SYSTEM BUT NISSAN STILL CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEMS WITH THEM. *TR

I HAVE A NISSAN TITAN KINGCAB 4X4 WITH 36,000 MILES. IT STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN I WOULD TURN A CORNER IN TOWN, THIS KEPT GETTING WORSE, AND THEN STARTED SOUNDING LIKE GEARS WERE "JUMPING" TEETH, AND THE PICKUP WOULD JERK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THREE DAYS LATTER IT BECAME EXTREMELY SEVERE AND WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE REAREND, AND JERK EVEN WITH STARTING SLOWLY FROM A START. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REAREND WAS BAD AND NEEDED REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE NISSAN DEALER THAT 60 OTHER NISSAN DEALERS IN THE US WERE WAITING FOR REARENDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ALSO. MY PICKUP HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS AND THE DEALER CAN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL HAVE A REAREND TO FIX IT. *TR
